history
The mine was first mentioned in 1771. The ore mining of the pit will probably be older. In 1815, under Prussian administration, the mine was named after the German King Friedrich Wilhelm . In 1817 the upper tunnel, also called the camera tunnel, which brought in 55 m depth , was excavated. Between 1818 and 1832 the Tiefer Friedrich Wilhelmstollen was excavated with a 21 cm drive per day. With a length of 930 m, it brought a depth of 42 m. It was used until 1894.
From 1832, the mining of spatula , brown iron stone and copper ore is proven. Two years later, a rod track, a measuring house, a shovel and a colliery house were built. In 1860 875 tons of brown iron stone were mined. In the years 1861 to 1863 there was no ore mining. In 1865 the mine, like others in the region, went to Krupp . Civil engineering began in 1869. In 1883 8114 t of iron stone were mined, in 1884 it was 4275 t of spate iron stone and 1913 t of brown iron stone. In 1885 the shaft reached a depth of 224 m , and underground excavations were laid at 20, 40, 60, 80, 110 and 125 m below the deep tunnel . It was equipped with a steam engine with 20 HP for conveying and one with 16 HP for drainage. The water was raised to the level of the deep tunnel and could drain over it. Until the mine was closed in 1891, a total of 192,796 t of iron ore had been extracted.
The passage center was 110 m long and up to 6 m thick, on average 3 to 4 m. It was filled with high quality brown iron stone down to a depth of 170 m, from then on it consisted almost exclusively of spade iron stone.
