The Reden mine is a former hard coal mine in the Landsweiler-Reden district of Schiffweiler in Saarland .
history
In 1846, the shaft speeches I was operating as part of the pit Heinitz sunk . In 1850 the mine became independent and a second shaft was built . The mine was named after the Prussian Mining Minister Friedrich Wilhelm von Reden . On October 20, 1864, a firedamp explosion occurred on the Kallenberg seam, killing 35 miners . In 1856 the third shaft was sunk and another extraction point was opened with the Itzenplitz mine in Heiligenwald . The third shaft became the main production shaft a few years later. In 1887 the fourth shaft was sunk. In 1907 there was another misfortune: 150 miners were killed in a firedamp explosion followed by coal dust explosion in the Thiele seam. In 1914, shaft V was sunk.
After the First World War , the Saarland came under French control and the mine was managed by the Mines Domaniales Françaises du Bassin de la Sarre . In the following years, the daytime facilities were expanded and the annual output increased. Due to the increasing mechanization, the number of employees decreased. During this time there was also a domain school .
In 1935, the systems came back into the German Empire as part of the reintegration of the Saarland. At the end of 1935, Hermann Göring visited the mine and decided to expand it into a model plant. The daytime facilities were modernized and expanded, and a coking plant was built . Until well after the end of World War II , the mine was considered one of the most modern in Germany. The coal mining on the Saar was controlled in the post-war period by the director of the Mines de la Sarre . After the Saarland was annexed to the Federal Republic of Germany, the mine was expanded. Numerous facilities in the area were closed and the Reden mine was added, including Sulzbach , St. Ingbert and Bexbach . In the mid-1950s, 8,200 people were working in the mine.
At the end of the 1980s, the Camphausen , Reden and Göttelborn mines were merged to form the Ost Verbundbergwerk. Camphausen was shut down in 1990 and continued as an ancillary facility. Reden and Göttelborn existed separately until December 31, 1995. Then the Göttelborn-Reden composite mine was founded and the Reden mine closed as an independent facility. The promotion was moved completely to Göttelborn. On September 1, 2000, the promotion of the Göttelborn-Reden composite mine was also discontinued.

The larger than life statue "Der Saarbergmann", created in 1937 by the sculptor Fritz Koelle , stands in front of the entrance to the mine . It is one of Koelle's main works. It is popularly nicknamed "Redener Hannes".

The facility is now a listed building and is considered a “striking, very informative architectural testimony to the Saar mining industry”.
A part of the dewatering of the Saar district in Reden is still operated today as a residual task of mining . For this purpose, two shafts with a depth of 886 meters each are kept ready for operation. Around 50 people are still employed at the Reden site (as of 2008). The warm pit water pumped from a depth of 886 meters as part of the dewatering is used by means of heat exchangers to heat various buildings on the site. STEAG also operates a mine gas plant here for generating electricity. The Reden IV and V shafts, along with the Duhamel shaft and the northern shaft, are among the last operational shafts in the Saar area. The RAG plans to give up dewatering in speeches in the course of the mine flooding in Saarland . There is resistance to this from nature conservation associations, municipalities and individuals.
The Gondwana - Das Praehistorium amusement park is located on the site . A café was opened in the mine and the Center for Biodocumentation of the State Office for Environment and Occupational Safety was established. Since the beginning of 2008, the Landesdenkmalamt, the Bergamt Saarbrücken and the Oberbergamt des Saarlandes , as well as the tourism and cultural center of the Neunkirchen district, as well as the Institute for Regional Studies in Saarland have been located here . The Prowin company has set up its central training facility under the name Prowin Academy on the mine site. The former tracks and other parts of the mine area were built over with a park , the "water gardens". These absorb the rainwater from the former pit area, serve to cool the pit water before it is discharged into the Klinkenbach and seal off the contaminated floor area of the former pit station from above.
The fantasy and role play convention takes place every two years on the site of the mine .
The mine dump was converted into an adventure landscape park. There are various hiking and skating trails as well as a restaurant on the summit plateau with the "Bergmanns-Alm". In addition, various events take place on the plateau, such as the annual summer alm of the regional radio station SR3 and open-air concerts.
