The König-Wilhelm-Stollen is a former mine tunnel in the Deister near Wennigser Mark , a district of Wennigsen in the Hanover region .
history
There is evidence of a coal mine in operation in the Deister as early as 1639. In the 19th century there were many places to plant new mines to promote in to cm to 100 powerful coal seams encountered Wealdenkohle .
Royal Sürsserbrinker Stollen
The abrasive stream marked on the edge of the Deister the border between the slopes of Süerser Brink in the district Wennigsen and Knigge Brink in the district Egestorf. At the edge of Süersser Brinks a coal in 1823 was mine . The Royal Sürsserbrinker Stollen or simply the New Stollen , operated on the account of Royal Hanover , was later named King Wilhelm Stollen after the monarch Wilhelm IV .
While created in the late 18th century Upper Suerserbrinker tunnels already coal from the 6 inches powerful second highest of seven proven on Süerser Brink seams mined was that by reaching new Stolln undeveloped main seam a thickness of 16 inches. As early as 1826, the Neue Stolln was seen as serious competition for the Schaumburg mines, as its output had led to a falling coal price in the area around Rodenberg in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel, which was supplied by both sides .
The coal was in the pursuit in cable trays with 5 cubic feet content transported . In the routes and tunnels, two men each moved 10 bellows of coal on wooden tracks by means of an English carriage . The coal was brought above ground to a transshipment point on Georgsplatz , for which a horse-drawn tram was used from 1875 . A little later this also led to a loading ramp on the Deisterbahn at Egestorf station.
Production through the old König-Wilhelm-tunnel was finally stopped in 1891 and its seam was exploited from the tunnel of the state mine.
New König-Wilhelm-Stollen
In 1890, the coal mining rights of the neighboring Kniggenbrink coal mine , which had since been closed, were taken over by the Prussian state . As early as 1887, there was a breakthrough from the neighboring state coal mine with the Egestorf tunnel in the Stockbachtal .
The tunnels, shafts and the main conveying line of the former Kniggenbrinker mine were modernized and the production via the former railway tunnels renamed König-Wilhelm -Tollen was resumed. In 1901, which was the promotion of this new King Wilhelm tunnel set.
traces
The surface structures of the old König-Wilhelm-Stollen have largely disappeared today. In addition to the dump, there is also the rest of a retaining wall. The mouth hole has collapsed.
Others
In 1880, 126 of the 291 miners from the various state mines in Egestorf and others from the Kniggenbrink mine lived in Wennigsen. In order to shorten the long way to work, from 1875 some of them built houses on the outermost boundary between Wennigsen and Egestorf. Today's Wennigser district of Wennigser Mark arose from this miners' settlement.
