The Albert mine is a former iron ore mine in the Bensberg ore district in Bergisch Gladbach . The site belongs to the Herrenstrunden district . The main operating point was on the way from Herrenstrunden to Rommerscheid at the highest point of the Combücher mountain.
history
The Albert pit was popularly called "de Lochjroov" (the pit). Eduard Knobel , estate manager of Lerbach Castle , asked them to come to Eisenstein on March 25, 1848 . On May 27, 1848, he was issued a coupon. The award document to Knobel for the "Zeche Albert" dates from May 22nd, 1849. Obviously, he came to terms with the mining of the iron with the Britannia works in Bergisch Gladbach. A profitable operation did not initially materialize. After protective tariffs had been raised on foreign iron since 1879, mining activities began to move. In August 1882 there were several expropriation proceedings against several owners, suggesting that mining was expanding. In addition, there are figures for the production of iron ore from the Albert mine for the period from 1880 to 1886, which also indicate a greater workload.
Operation and facilities
The first information about operational activities is available from 1880. A climber and twelve miners drove a tunnel into the “Combücher Berg” and sank a shaft “up in the forest” . The heavy wagons soon made the path to shame, which, among other things, the school children also used. The city administration therefore asked the mine operator to repair the path. In 1886 the business activities were stopped.
