The König-Georg-Schacht was a coal mine of the Königliche Steinkohlenwerk Zauckerode in the western part of the hard coal deposit of the Döhlen basin on Oberweißiger Flur. With a depth of 574.50 meters, it was the deepest shaft in the area.
The shaft bore the name of King George of Saxony .
history
The Royal coal plant Zauckerode began on 15 September 1902 at 318.23 m above sea level with the depths of driving and air shaft . The round shaft disc had a clear diameter of 3.20 meters and an area of 5.72 m 2 . Before the devastation began, the boiler house and machine house for the devil machine, bath facilities, team building, workshop and civil servants' residence had been built. An electrical line was laid from the Oppelschacht to the construction site.
In 1903 a depth of 175.20 meters was reached. At a depth of 91.00 to 120.00 meters, heavily water-bearing fissures were encountered. The water intake was up to 700 m 3 per day. The fissures were grouted with cement, thereby stopping the entry of water. The shaft tube was lined for the first 25 meters. Underneath, a 0.25 meter thick concrete lining was carried out with the help of sliding formwork.
In 1904 the depth reached 289.90 meters. The fissures between 210.00 and 220.00 meters were grouted with cement again. A dewatering was not necessary during the devastation .
In 1905 a depth of 415.50 meters was reached.
In September 1906 the depth was set at 503.70 meters. The workers were used to extract coal in winter. On June 10, 1906 on the XII. Main line, from the Oppelschacht the breakthrough into the shaft at a depth of 481.50 meters. The König-Georg-Schacht, although still in the depths, now served as a moving weather shaft.
In the spring of 1907, work was resumed. On September 27, 1907 the 3.00 meter thick first seam was reached at 556.00 meters and work was stopped in mid-October 1907 at a depth of 562.00 meters. The water sitting in the deepest part of the shaft was lifted with a compressed air pump to the Xth main section and fed there to the Königin-Carola-Schacht .
In 1908, the steam-powered sinking machine and the wooden headframe were demolished and the new machine house built.
In 1909 the 16 meter high pulley chair was erected by the Leipzig company Grohmann & Frosch . The winding machine was supplied by the Friedrich Schmiedel machine and engine factory from Niederwürschnitz . Siemens & Schuckert supplied the electrical parts of the machine . The machine was driven by a direct current shunt motor with Leonard circuit with an output of 95 HP. The cable drum had a diameter of 4000 mm and a width of 1750 mm. It was the first winder of its kind in the Saxon mining industry. 2 were conveyed on a two-level conveyor frame Hunte . A 1760 meter long route from the Königin-Carola-Schacht to the König-Georg-Schacht was built for the power supply.
In 1910 the shaft was brought to its final depth of 574.50 meters with the production of the shaft sump and the filling point of the XV. Main line struck at a depth of 559.80 meters. On May 1, 1910, the cable car to the XII. Main line recorded at a depth of 481.50 meters. The cable car ride on Oppelschacht was stopped and the crew relocated to the König-Georg-Schacht.
In 1918 the lower rope tore off during the team's rope ride. The torn end went over 500 meters and penetrated the side wall of the frame, a miner's knee was slightly injured.
With the law of January 30, 1924, the Zauckerode coal works were transferred retrospectively to April 1, 1923 to the state corporation Aktiengesellschaft Sächsische Werke (ASW) under the name Steinkohlenwerk Freital . The chief miner A. Wolf rationalized the operation. All uneconomical mining sites were discontinued. The workforce was almost halved between 1924 and 1928, while coal output remained almost the same. Young miners in particular were moved to the Hirschfelde, Böhlen and Espenhain lignite mines. As a result, the operation of the shaft was stopped. The remaining workers were distributed between the Oppelschacht and the Königin-Carola-Schacht.
After the Oppelschacht ceased operations on June 30, 1927, the workforce was transferred to the König-Georg-Schacht and operations resumed there.
In 1931 the König-Georg-Schacht was broken through on the XV. Main line, connected to the mine field of the Königin-Carola-Schacht. In the same year the cable trip up to the XV. Main line extended.
With the concentration of the company on the Königin-Carola-Schacht, the König-Georg-Schacht had become superfluous. Operations ceased in March 1937 and the shaft was backfilled.
Later, the Herrmann press, which was part of the VEB Kelterei Lockwitzgrund during the GDR era, was located on the site .
