The pit Heinrich luck was an ore mine outside Salchendorfs in the town of Neunkirchen in Siegen-Wittgenstein .

Aisle means

The ore deposits in the mine belong to the high place . The passage center was almost 80 m long and up to 8 m thick. Was led siderite with slate and quartz . Purer iron stone was found in the depths. The largest corridor area in the pit was on the 460 m level, but the corridor disappeared entirely on the lowest level.

history

The Heinrichsglück mine was one of the five Salchendorfer mines with a shaft operation . It was in a small side valley of the upper Gutenbach valley . Lead , zinc and copper ores are mined here for the first time around 1840 . The pit was awarded on August 11, 1845. On December 23, 1846, a request was made in the official gazette for permission to set up a sedimentation wash below the mine dump. In 1850 the upper gallery was built , which leads in the direction of Rausche . A year later the deep tunnel was created. In 1851, after a length of 350 m, it hit the corridor and brought a depth of 50 m. Die construction was carried out in the tunnel .

In 1864 it was decided to start civil engineering . The blind shaft that was built had a steam engine for dewatering and initially a reel for conveying to a depth of 20 m . Another steam engine was added later, which enabled the extraction to a depth of 72 m. On October 2, 1876, the Heinrichsglück mine was consolidated with the Fidelio mine under the name Heinrichsglück and divided into 1,000 movable kuxe. At that time, the union also owned 98 Kuxe from the Brothers Association and Bruderbund I, as well as 95 of the 128 Kuxe from the Hinterstes Rennseifen mine . In 1879 a day shaft was sunk, which later reached a depth of 275 m. Two blind shafts led to levels at depths of 310 and 700 m. On the 310 m level there was a breakthrough to the Stahlseifen pit. The total depth of the pit was 740 m and was reached by a machine die. This is also where the deepest floor was cut .

In 1885 the output was 3,613 t Eisenstein, in 1897 almost 10,000 t. After roasting, the iron stone had an iron content of 55% as roast spar. In addition to iron, small amounts of non-ferrous metal ores were also mined:

year 1864 1865 1866 1867 1885
Lead ore 81 t 81 t 47 t 4 t
Zinc ore 14 t 23 t 16 t 15 t

Towards the end of the 19th century Heinrich Petri from Neunkirchen bought the majority of the Kuxe and calls the mine "Heinrichsglück". Most recently, 50–60 staff members worked here. The ore was roasted on site in 4 roasting ovens. Consolidations existed with “Fidelio” and “Bremhitze”.

Mine network

In 1897 the Ruhr concern Phoenix bought the Heinrichsglück and Stahlseifen mines and turned them into the Heinrichsglück trade union . A cable car later led over the Hardtwald from Heinrichsglück to the Stahlseifen mine . After the mining operations of the Heinrichsglück mine had been discontinued around 1900, Stahlseifen continued to operate until January 31, 1935. In 1910 the last Heinrichsglücker buildings are demolished. A total of 1.452 million t of iron ore were mined on Stahlseifen and Heinrichsglück .

Mine systems

In a list from May 1903 contained in the mine files, the following mine facilities are listed:

  • 1 machine and boiler building (containing two flame tube boilers and a twin hoisting machine with a back gear of 3 m drum diameter and 500 mm width)
  • 1 iron headframe
  • 1 massive 35 m high chimney
  • 1 Nussscher water purifier
  • various trams
  • 1 processing shed
  • 1 mine house
  • 1 forge
  • 4 roasting ovens
  • 1 mechanical processing for raw and roast spar (built in 1900; contains a locomobile with 9 atm. Overpressure, built in 1900; stone crusher, rolling mill, 8 three-part jigs, 2 clarifying hoppers, an elevator with electric drive and 12 trolleys)
  • 1 cable car, built in 1900, to transport the ores to the Bautenberger Transportbahn and to deliver coal, coke, etc.
