The Hardenberg coal mines are a former hard coal mine in Essen-Kupferdreh -Dilldorf. The mine was also called the Society of Hardenberg Coal Mines .
history
The beginnings
The mine was founded in 1838 as the first joint stock company in the Ruhr mining industry. The Gabe Gottes collieries , Petersburg, Augustus Erbstollen from Essen-Kupferdreh and the Längenfeld Vereinigte Caroline in Essen-Kupferdreh / Hinsbeck were involved in the company. The mine fields were combined for a planned joint civil engineering operation . In tunneling has been mining operation, the Stollenmundloch the tunnel system was located near the copper hammer . For the transition to the civil engineering work began in the same year, brick Seigerschächte 1 and 2 to sink . A depth of 120 holes was planned for each of the two shafts . In 1839 the tunnel construction continued and a steam engine was installed at shaft 1 for the drainage . The first underground level was set in the same year at a depth of 35 lachern. Shaft 2 was equipped with a horse peg, the bottom of the tunnel was at 8¾ laughs, and the first underground level was set at a depth of 30⅞ laughs. In the same year, mining began in civil engineering.
The other years
On March 14, 1840, the public limited company was approved and registered by the state. The tunnel construction was further dismantled and a steam hoisting machine was installed at shaft 2 . The horse peg from shaft 2 was moved to shaft 1. A 345 Lachter long connecting railway was built for the surface transport of the coal to the Prinz Wilhelm Railway. Because underneath the cleats sole existing deposit reserves were still low only and the facilities created for civil engineering were too large, the company got in the years to financial problems. In 1841, mining continued to be carried out in the tunnel construction, from the tunnel mouth hole a 511 Lachter-long railroad was laid to the mine house. In the same year, shaft 1 was drained and had to be swamped . In shaft 2, the bottom of the swamp was set at a depth of 32⅞ pools. In the same year, the sinking of shaft 3 began, this shaft had a round shaft disc and was bricked inside. On July 3 of the same year, the quarter fields Petersburg, Gabe Gottes and Augustus were awarded . For economic reasons, a grant of 40,000 thalers was necessary this year. In 1842, the bottom of the swamp at shaft 2 was converted to the first production bottom. Shaft 3 continued to be sunk from above ground and reached a depth of 67 meters measured from the 32-Lachter level, the second level was set at a depth of 107 meters. In the following years, too, further grants were required for the expansion of the mine.
The last few years
The mining continued initially in the tunnel construction. From the summer of 1843, the tunnel construction was taken out of service. In shaft 3, the first level was set at a depth of 84 meters. A penetration was made between shafts 1 and 2 on the 2nd level and on the 32 Lachter level . In 1845, grants were again required, this time more than 40,000 thalers had to be added. In February of the same year, the mine was shut down, the pumps were turned off and the mine workings fell into disrepair. In May of the same year the shafts were covered and the company dissolved. To ensure that the mine field did not fall into the mountain-free area , minor mining was again carried out above the bottom of the tunnel in 1859. On March 27, 1861 , the mines Petersburg, Gabe Gottes and the Augustus Erbstollen consolidated into the United Petersburg mine. In 1866 it was finally closed.
Promotion and workforce
The first known production figures come from the year 1838, at that time a production of 1720¾ Prussian tons of hard coal was produced in the tunnel construction. In 1840 4,174¼ Prussian tons were mined. The only known workforce figures are from 1841, when 147 miners were employed who produced 268,325 bushels of hard coal. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1842, in that year 16,858 tons of hard coal were produced.
