The pit Jägersfreude is a former coal mine in the district Jägersfreude in Saarbrücken .
history
In 1718 the entrepreneur Johannes Bregenzer set up an iron smelter in the southwest of Jägersfreudes . Around 1750 the former smelter was converted into a hammer mill in which black sheet metal was produced. The coal required is extracted from the tunnel . With the French Revolution , the mining was stopped and the hammer mill shut down. Towards the end of the 18th century, the hammer mill became a chamotte factory. The required clay stone was obtained from the company's own pit in the tunnel construction from 1809 . In 1815 40 miners were working in Jägerfreude.
Industrial hard coal mining in the Jägersfreude mine began in 1856 with the sinking of the first two underground shafts (shaft I up to 95 meters, shaft II up to 140 meters). In 1906 another shaft was built, the mining area was greatly expanded and a connection to the Saarbrücken-Neunkirchen railway line was established. In 1914 1,800 people worked in the mine. Another shaft was built in 1920. In the period that followed, the mine was one of the largest in the Saarland, and the daytime facility was considerably expanded and modernized. Shaft I was shut down and backfilled in 1921 , Shaft Jägersfreude II was shut down in 1931 and backfilled in 1943. In 1968, with the creation of the Luisenthal-Jägersfreude-Camphausen compound system, production was discontinued; the shafts then served the Camphausen pit as a ropeway and fresh weather shaft . The plant had last produced 4700 tons of coal per day and a workforce of 2900 miners . In 1988 the headframes at shafts III and IV were demolished and the shafts filled. A large part of the building was then used by Saarbergwerke AG as a hydraulic workshop and magazine.
In 2010 the city of Saarbrücken acquired the site with the preserved daytime facilities from RAG and had the majority of the former daytime facilities of the Jägersfreude mine demolished. Only the listed colliery building and the porter and canteen building used by SaarMontan were allowed to remain standing. A technology site is to be built on the site.
Parts of the building complex are under monument protection.
Halde Grühlingstrasse
At the federal highway 623 which is located Bergehalde Grühlingstraße . It is of the pointed cone type. After the capacities of the Pfeifershofweg mountain fill of the Jägersfreude mine were exhausted, the heap was put into operation in 1957 in what was then the Sulzbach floodplain . The tailings were transported from the preparation of the pit to the heap on conveyor belts, which were 80 centimeters wide and 545 cm long. The conveyor belts were guided over two bridges. In front of the dump there was an intermediate bunker where the material was stored. An inclined elevator with tipping wagons led up to the dump.
In 1962, the operation of the heap was converted to full backfill. In 1964 it reached its largest volume with 1.5 million cubic meters on an area of 10 hectares. It towered over the natural landscape by 65 meters. In the same year, the transports to the heap were then stopped. Recovery was then initiated. Up to 1,000 cubic meters were removed every day. When the mine was closed in 1968, the recovery was also stopped.
In 1993 the 325 m above sea level. NHN high peaks of the heap are provided with a summit cross . Subsequently, around the year 2000, the Haldenrundweg was created as part of the Saar Regional Park project , which connects the Grühlingsstraße waste dump with other waste dumps located around the Saar coal forest . In the course of this, a plateau was created around the summit cross. And on the former line of the inclined elevator, the literary thought ascent was created. It consists of 14 stone steps on which parts of the poem The Children of the Dead by Elfriede Jelinek are engraved.
