The spring mine was a non-ferrous metal ore mine in the Bensberg ore district in the Bleifeld district of Rösrath in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis .
history
The mining book of the Lüderich mine for the period from 1837 to 1858 bears the inscription "Driving book of the lead ore mine Lüderich & Frühling" on the cover page . The first entry dated April 24, 1837 and noted that the "Union of on Muthung be built mines Cerres, spring, summer, autumn, winter and Muthung Rothenbach" met to the lode on the Lüderich to visit. The date is synonymous with the consolidation of the Lüderich mine with the individual mine fields .
Operation and facilities
In the vicinity of the house at Zum Frühlingschacht 58 there are many larger and smaller pings that date from the 13th century. They are related to the mining "around the year 1250", which Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden is said to have operated in order to gain funds for the construction of Cologne Cathedral . Later, the spring pit was operated via a tunnel , the so-called spring tunnel . On September 8, 1838, the spring shaft - also known as the south shaft - was sunk in order to open up the field and thereby simultaneously weather the spring tunnel . The half-timbered house pictured above was the machine house belonging to the shaft . The southern shaft was later relocated further to the southeast. From now on the machine house was used as a steering house.
