Schnellenberg was a mine in Beienbach near Netphen in Siegerland .
history
Ore was mined in Beienbach at the beginning of the 18th century . In the light of Seifen near Beienbach, there was already a new mine in 1715 in which the Keppel monastery was involved.
On June 4, 1883, the Oberbergamt Bonn awarded the Niederdielfen Steiger Hermann Lersch II from Niederdielfen mining rights for iron ore near Beienbach. He founded a 56-member union and in November of that year also obtained prospecting rights for lead and copper ore . A tunnel was driven which was 50 m long in March 1884 and 106 m in August. In 1886 a railroad was set up. In 1892, the Eisenstein mine produced 2,157.66 marks. The buyers were the Johanneshütte in Siegen and the Haardter Hüttengewerkschaft in Weidenau . In 1890 there were only 18 members and in 1894 there were three, two of whom came from Flammersbach . In 1893 an explosives store was set up, which was expanded in June 1899 to a capacity of 550 kg. After the sale in 1899 to the Häuslingstiefe union in Siegen, the company switched to mine operation. The one with timbering provided and brick lining shaft in the same year set and had a size of 4.6 m × 2.9. End 1900, the depth of the shaft was at 63 m, the first sole followed at 70 m depth . Shortly afterwards, a 27 m high winding tower , a shaft building , various machine rooms and workshops were built. The total depth of 155 m was reached via a 40 m deep cavity from the 110 m level. In July 1902, operations were stopped. From 1903 the mine was sold several times:
- 1903 to Arnold Steffen and Paul Hoffmann
- 1905 to the trades Adolf Fischbach and Heinrich Nöh
- 1905 to the trade union Kur-Köln , in 1906 operations were resumed and two roasting ovens were installed.
- 1919 to Bochumer Verein für Gussstahlfabrikation : On October 21, the mine with a value of 296,000 marks was transferred to the Bochumer Verein (thus in 1926 to the United Steelworks in Düsseldorf ).
In 1910 the mine consolidated with the pits Schnellenberg II-IV , Bismark , Kleeblatt , Gutglück , Randomglück and Gutehoffnung from Beienbach and Archfather I-II from Nauholz . In 1912 the pit filled with water, so in 1913 production had to be stopped. On May 31, 1922, the underground mine was shut down and on October 31, 1923, above ground, and not reopened. During the Second World War , the old tunnels served the Beienbachers as air raid bunkers during air raids. From 1957 the pit served the town of Beienbach as a water extraction system.
Aisle means
The pit was built on a 1–1.5 m thick corridor which strokes in the 12th hour and dips to the west at 60 to 65 degrees. The course material was dismantled on the 70 m level, squashed on the 110 m level and only partially worth building. With greater depth, the speed increased again.
The mined Spateisenstein had 40.12% Fe content, the proportion of Brauneisenstein was 52.57%.
Delivery rates
In 1892, 253.4 t of iron ore worth 2,158 marks and 20.5 t of lead-nickel ore worth 2,461 marks were mined. In 1902 621.9 t of iron ore worth 4,975 marks and 8.5 t of lead-copper ore worth 579 marks were mined.
