The Hermannschacht was a coal mine of the Dresden-Possendorfer Aktienverein. The shaft was located directly on the eastern edge of the hard coal deposit of the Döhlen Basin on Possendorfer Flur. The first rope experience in Saxony was set up in the Hermannschacht .
history
The Dresden-Possendorfer Aktienverein began in 1858 on a parcel known today as the Goat Island at 306 m above sea level. NN with the depth of the shaft. In 1860 the 3.20 meter thick first seam was reached at a depth of 279.80 meters . The final depth of the shaft was 326 meters.
In a southerly direction, the building value limit was reached after just 200 meters. In a northerly direction, the Becker shaft fault was found at a distance of 185 meters . The jump height was 48 meters. In order to mine the coal in this part of the field, the shaft was sunk 46 meters further in 1868. The 0.20 meter thick second seam was found at a depth of 285 meters. The open field behind the fault turned out to be unsuitable for construction. In the same year a connection to the field of the Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein was created via a cross passage . In May 1869 the Possendorfer Aktienverein went bankrupt . On July 20, 1869, the dewatering was stopped. On August 18, 1869, the Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein took over the field of the Possendorfer Aktienverein. The Hermann shaft was backfilled in October 1869. Around 210,000 tons of coal were mined during the operating period.
For the first time in Saxony, a team rope ride with a safety device took place on the shaft from 1860. It was introduced at the instigation of the Freiberg art masters Karl Julius Braunsdorf and Friedrich Wilhelm Schwamkrug .
After the opening of the shaft on April 4, 1860, a connection to the newly built Hänichen coal branch railway was necessary to transport the coal . The association built this 2137 m long siding at its own expense. These amounted to 23,957 thalers. In 1865 the Possendorfer Aktienverein tried to sell the connecting railway to the Albertsbahn AG . Despite the approval of the shareholders on June 23, 1865, no purchase agreement was concluded. The end of the Hermannschacht was already foreseeable at this point.
