history
The Romans probably already mined in the vicinity of the Leopold von Buch mine . In many places certain traces point to medieval mining. In the middle of the 19th century these led to prospectors going in search of mineral resources and, where they found what they were looking for, submitted requests for advice . On the basis of such a request for encouragement, the date of which is not known, a field survey was carried out on January 30, 1849 . The corresponding log shows that there was a pit on the right side of the Chaussee from Bensberg to Altenbrück on Steinhauser Berg . It was an old work . In the same protocol, a suspicion regarding the Carl Heinrich pit at the small stone house approx. 50 Lachter east of the hill pit is mentioned. It was the James Watt mine field . In 1850 a pit field is called an airship . This deposit was reached via the mouth of the hill at a distance of 63 laughs. The Berzelius mutation lay at the intersection of the two deposits . This is all just prehistory.
A Protocol of May 6, 1853 reported that a presumption under the name on September 3, 1852 Leopold von Buch has been applied for the first time after a new discovery in the tunnel floor of the pit hill minded had. Subsequently, negotiations were made to combine the airship, hill, James Watt and Berzelius pit fields with Leopold von Buch as a pit. The final award took place in the Ruhberg mountains near Bensberg on September 16, 1853 under the name of Grube Leopold von Buch, which has been in common use since then.
