The Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein was a mining company based on hard coal in Hänichen near Dresden . The mine field was in the corridors of today's Bannewitz community .

history

The Hänichen coal mining association was constituted on October 3rd, 1846. On November 7th, 1846, the Hänichen coal mining association was founded in Dresden with a share capital of 180,000 marks. This was followed by 2 capital increases. In 1850 by 240,000 marks and in 1853 by 300,000 marks. The nominal value of the shares was 300 marks each. In addition to the Hänichen corridor, the mine field also included the Wilmsdorf and Rippien corridors . The Beckerschacht in Hänichen was the first to be sunk in 1846 . In addition, there was the persistence shaft in Rippien in 1850 and the Berglust shaft in Wilmsdorf in 1852 . It consisted of modern, deep shaft systems with a massive hothouse (" Malakoffturm ") and steam hoisting machine. The problem was the location of the mine field in the area of ​​the largest faults in the Döhlen basin , the “Red Ox” with a jump height of more than a hundred meters and the upstream “Beckerschacht fault”. In addition, the seam was only two to three meters thick, which made mining comparatively expensive.

Due to the remote, traffic-poor location of the pits, the Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein was one of the most important initiators of a railway line for the removal of the extracted coal, the construction of the Albertsbahn from Dresden through the Plauenschen Grund to Tharandt. On February 7, 1853, the directors of the Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein, the businessman Emil Becker and the pharmacist Otto Schneider, signed the construction contract with Guido Brescius in their capacity as director (E. Becker) and deputy chairman (O. Schneider) of the Albertsbahn Gesellschaft the railway line. On May 31, 1855, the contract for the connection of the shafts of the Hänichener Steinkohlenverein to the Albertbahn was signed. Commissioning took place on April 1, 1857. By 1869, the Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein still took over the mining fields of the Golberoder-Dippoldiswalder Aktienverein ( Dippoldschacht ) and the Dresden-Possendorfer Aktienverein ( Hermannschacht ), without resuming production there.

In 1875 the Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein got into economic difficulties due to the "escape" of the director Richard Beck . The resulting loss totaled 298,408 marks. Under the direction of the mountain manager Richard Baldauf , who was employed in 1874 , the processes around Beck were investigated in more detail and the technical further development of the pits was driven forward again. He proved that the coal reserves would last for another 30 years if production remained the same. At that time, about a million bushels of coal were being extracted each year.

After the last peak in coal production with 91,138 tons in 1900, the output fell to 41,112 tons by the last full financial year 1905. After the economically viable coal reserves had been exhausted, the liquidation of the company began on May 2, 1906 . The operation was then stopped in July 1906. On May 18, 1906, the Dresden District Court struck the Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein from the trade list. The liquidation ended on May 21, 1913.
