The Kaiserschacht was a coal mine of the Kleinopitzer Steinkohlenbau Aktiengesellschaft in the western part of the coal deposit of the Döhlen basin on Kleinopitzer Flur.
history
On April 6, 1872 the Kleinopitzer Steinkohlenbau Aktiengesellschaft was founded with a capital of 160,000 thalers . The chairman was the Dresden lawyer Arthur Pfeilschmidt, the deputy chairman was the owner of the Pretzschendorf manor , Gottlob Leberecht Meyer. The chairman of the board of directors was the Dresden lawyer Richard Schanz. In the fall of 1872 at 289.96 m above sea level to the depths of a shaft began. The shaft disc measured 2.52 × 5.66 meters. Eight workers and one civil servant were employed .
In 1873 the sinking had to be stopped because of the water seeping in. The Royal coal plant Zauckerode and Kammergut Zauckerode filed a lawsuit against the company, as this obviously unjustified water from the bay over flowing Quänebach had removed and defiled it. This year, the chairman of the administrative board was the Dresden legal advisor Hermann Ludwig Nake. The number of employees rose to 26.
In 1874, after a 10 hp steam locomotive had been set up to keep water flowing, the sinking operation was resumed. The directors of the company were now the Dresden building contractor Buchwald and the Dresdner Hübler. 34 workers and two civil servants were now employed.
In 1875 the deepening was continued with 39 employees. The Dresden building contractor Buchwald was now the sole director of the company. 58,545 marks had become necessary for further operation.
On March 2, 1876, a tusk was killed by a board that had fallen in the shaft. On April 1, 1876, at a depth of 305.72 meters, the 0.45 meter thick upper bank of the 1st seam was reached . After 1.30 meters of intermediate means, the 1.00 meter thick main seam was reached at a depth of 307.47 meters. The 1st filling point was posted at 309 meters. After a further 0.60 meters, two approx. 0.40 meter thick banks of the second seam were penetrated. After a 10 meter thick intermediate section, two approximately 0.30 meter thick banks of the 3rd seam were cut. At a depth of 321 meters, the second filling point was posted. After 324.00 meters, the Silurian basement was reached and the sinking stopped at 326.00 meters. The 1st and 2nd seam fell 6 ° to the NE towards the main hollow. In this direction, however, the pit area of the shaft ended after 150 to 200 meters. They examined all three seams up to a distance of 30 meters towards the east, north and west of routes in painting and traps. A fall location in the seam and a deepening of the shaft were planned in order to examine the seam from the shaft with a crosscut on a deeper floor. With 26 employees, 255 tons of coal worth 2986 marks were mined. In the meantime, however, the board of directors had resigned and the liquidators Friedländer and Wiegner ran the business.
In 1877 the Reichenbach factory owner Hermann Fürchtegott Berner took over the mine and continued the business. The investigation of the seams was continued up to a distance of 60 meters from the shaft to the north. To investigate the 3rd seam, a cross passage to the west was driven . and approached the seam with a 10 meter deep fall location. 189 tons of coal worth 880 marks were mined with 21 employees. On May 15, 1878, operations ceased.
In 1879 the shaft was dumped and filled, and the company's miners' fund was closed.
Between 1951 and 1953, VEB Steinkohlenwerk Freital dismantled VVB Steinkohle Zwickau in the Kaiserschacht pit field from the 13th main line of the Königin-Carola-Schacht from remaining areas up to the building value limit of 0.60 meters.
In 1978, the mine was subsequently kept by the Dresden mountain rescue service .
