history
The first award took place on calamine , galena and iron ore on December 19, 1853. Galmei was later promoted. No further information is known, especially since the first volume of the authorization file has been lost. On October 16, 1903, the Deutz mining district informed the Bensberg district court in connection with bankruptcy proceedings that “the experimental work carried out in recent years has not provided evidence of a deposit worth building ”. There is no further information about the operation of the mine.
Location and relics
Where the road from Oberhombach joins on the road through the Hombachtal from Herrenstrunden to Herkenrath , the Carolinenzeche is located on the slope opposite to the east. In the lower area directly on the street you can see a tunnel mouth hole that the Zanders paper factory walled up with bricks in 1968. In 1990 the city of Bergisch Gladbach replaced this wall with a 0.5 m thick iron-reinforced concrete wall. A small entrance hole ensures that bats can fly in and out that have found a home here. Further up the slope there are several dump heaps and some larger pings . There are also two tunnel mouth holes that were buried during the action in 1968 to prevent further entry.
