Hat man
A Hutmann , also called Huther , was a miner in early mining who worked as a pit supervisor for the mine . The name Hutmann was derived from his activity, because the Hutmann had the task of monitoring the proper operation of the mine or, as it was called at the time, to protect it. He had to take care to ensure that no factory strangers, without authorization or without his knowledge, in the pit imports .
tasks
The hat man's duties were very extensive. He supervised the entire mine workforce and had to make sure that the miners kept to the working hours. Not part of the workforce of the mine those the mine traveled wanted were from Hutmann accordance with clothing such as mountain Kittel , ass leather , cap and Geleucht equipped. Furthermore, the hat man had to make sure that the advance was carried out as quickly as possible. In addition, he had to drive into the mine building several times a week and check it for dangers. The hat man also had the task of keeping an eye on everything toughness , all equipment and materials. He had broken toughness repaired by the blacksmith in the blacksmith's shop . He gave the miners a hand during the entry and exit. He kept records of the miners' work. These records were the trades 'basis for the miners' payroll accounting. Furthermore, the hat man was present at the respective remediation negotiations. The day hat man had to report violations by the miners to the trades, the night hat man reported violations either to the day hat man or the trades. If there were significant defects in the pit, the hat man could ask the mountain judge to drive into the pit and inspect the defects.
hierarchy
The hat people hierarchy was dependent on the size of the mine. For smaller pits, the hat man held the position of an operator. In larger mines he was subordinate to the shift supervisor as a supervisor and often had one or two haters as helpers. Subordinate to the hat man were the servant hat man and the jack hat man. If people worked at night in mines, there was a day-watchman for the day shift, and the night-watchman was in charge of the night shift. An experienced miner was appointed as a day hat man, who had to take an oath of his duties. The Taghutmann could choose a worker as an assistant if the size of the company was appropriate. This servant man was subordinate to the Taghut man and supported him in his tasks. Since children used to work as clean boys in the mining industry, the tallest and most capable of their ranks was chosen as a jack-hat man. His job was to watch over the other boys .
Privileges
The hat man usually had his apartment on the upper floor of the hat house . He did not have to do any physically heavy work, but was the person in charge of the mine. He was also better paid than the other miners because of his responsibility and depending on the area of responsibility.
