history

The first written mention is on February 18, 1819. It speaks of a "Gohrische mine", which belongs to the paper miller Fues and which, as a lignite mine, is subject to the "regula- tory obligation" (rights reserved to the state). It is then mentioned that an original deed of mortgage dated February 26, 1717 was presented. These details probably have no direct reference to the Schönhäuschen & Guch mine and are also to be understood in connection with the neighboring mine fields. On 5 December 1819 led mining authority wins a field visit by. The heirs of Hofrat Fauth, the heirs of Lommertzen and Hölzer and the heirs of Friedrich Siegen appear in the relevant protocol. Franz Heinrich Fauth, the son of the deceased Councilor Fauth, then submitted the application for a loan "for the Schönhäuschen & Guch lignite mine on Stegerkamp near Gladbach" . Because it was not clear which medullary sheath to assume, it was first decided to carry out a measurement. On February 8, 1820, the Oberbergamt Bonn gave the loan to Fauth, which the Ministry of the Interior in Berlin confirmed on March 5, 1820.

business

On May 8, 1824, Gerhard Jakob Fues informed the Siegen Mining Authority that he had bought the Schönhäuschen & Guch mine and put it into operation with a notarial deed dated April 29, 1823. The Schönhäuschen and Guch mine was last mentioned in a protocol of November 15, 1842 in connection with the problems of drainage. Consequently, it must have been in operation by then. It was no longer mentioned in the minutes of August 20, 1845 on the same subject. From this one can conclude that operations were only running slightly or had already come to a complete standstill. From 1848 on, deadlines were applied for, which were approved with deferrals. On September 15, 1858, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Public Works awarded the Schönhäuschen & Guch lignite mine field to Georg Jacob Fues. From 1856 on there were deadlines again. Further information is not available.
