The coal mine Paweł (Polish Kopalnia Węgla Kamiennego Paweł ; German names Paulusgrube and Godulla-Schachtanlage ) is a decommissioned coal mine in the district Chebzie of Ruda Śląska , Poland.

history

The Paulus mine in Ruda-Morgenroth / Chebzie, Orzegów and Godullahütte / Godula was founded on June 24, 1842 by Karl Godulla . It comprised coal fields and pits, some of which had already been lent 17 years earlier. These were the fields "Rosalie" (awarded in 1825), "New Mountain Freedom" (1842), "Margarethe" (1841), "Jaroslav" (1842), "Vorwerk" (1843), "New Orzegów" (1839) and "Quarry" (1847). Between 1861 and 1881 the fields "Schomberg", "Berg Freiheit", "Sonnenblume", "Neu-Orzegów II, III and IV" and "Margarethe II and III" were added. Initially, these fields were opened up by the "Sophie", "Schlegel" and "Beate" shafts.

In 1882 the Gräflich Schaffgotsch'schen Werke consolidated the administration of all coal fields and mines in the area of ​​the cities of Beuthen and Ruda acquired by Karl Godulla and later by Johanna von Schaffgotsch under the name of Paulus-Hohenzollern-Grube . Paul became one of several shafts in this mine.

The Paulusgrube of this mine, which is located directly on the Zabrze-Kattowitz railway line, initially had the two shafts “Godulla” and “Schaffgotsch”, which were 340 meters deep around 1912 and the 180 m and 240 m levels were hard coal from the seams “Einsiedel”, “Ober- und Niederbank”, “Schuckmann”, “Georg” and “Veronica”. All of the seams mentioned had a total thickness of 14.5 meters. Outside the conveying shaft, there were the “Schlegelschacht” (240 m deep; Nordfeld), “Südschacht” (220 m) and “Kronprinzenschacht” (240 m) weather shafts.

In 1922 the name of the mine was changed to Paweł . "Godullaschacht" was renamed "Paweł I" and "Schaffgotsch" in "Paweł II". During the Second World War the mine was given the name Paulus again and after the end of the war it belonged to the Rudaer ZPW (Zjednoczenie Przemysłu Węglowego) until 1957, then to the Beuthener ZPW.

Between 1953 and 1956, a central shaft was sunk in the area of ​​the Walenty-Wawel mine , the capacity of which was sufficient to lift the coal from the neighboring Walenty-Wawel and Paweł mines . After a breakthrough between the two mines was realized in the north field in 1971, they were merged to form the (new) Wawel mine and production on Paweł stopped.

With the exception of a water tower and a signal box at the transfer point between the state railway and the colliery, nothing today reminds of this important mine.
