The tank locomotives Krupp type Gladbeck were from the locomotive factory Krupp in Essen built as industrial locomotives.

Their areas of application were especially industrial railways, with the Hibernia colliery in Gladbeck being the main customer. Locomotives of this type were therefore also referred to as the Krupp Gladbeck type. The locomotives were in use until the early 1970s. A locomotive of this series has been preserved under its last name as Mevissen 4 in the LWL Industrial Museum in Dortmund-Bövinghausen .

History and technology

The Krupp locomotive factory developed a number of standardized industrial steam locomotives at the end of the 1940s. The design for this dates back to the year 1938. Vehicles of this type were as hot steam - steam locomotives built.

The 3rd axle of the locomotives was designed as a driving axle.

The locomotives were primarily delivered to the Hibernia colliery in Gladbeck under the designation Hibernia-46 C to Hibernia-52 C , the first one built was delivered to the Essen port railway .

commitment

The locomotive delivered to the Essen port railway had the factory number 2485 and drove here from 1953 to 1556. It then came to the Hibernia colliery in Gladbeck , where the locomotive was used until the early 1970s. The whereabouts are unknown.

Hibernia colliery

The locomotives with the serial numbers 2486 to 2492 went to the Hibernia colliery in Gladbeck . Most of them were in operation until 1970/71, when they were replaced by diesel locomotives .

The locomotive with the serial number 2491 was first designated as the Hibernia 51-C . In 1967 it came to the Mathias Stinnes coal mines in Essen , where the locomotive ran under the designation Mevissen 4 in a third lineup. The locomotive was taken over by Ruhrkohle AG in 1970 and continued to run with the same designation until 1973, when it was retired. In the same year it became the property of the Bad Oeynhausen Auto and Motorcycle Museum and was loaned to the Weserbergland steam railway . It was preferred here on the Rinteln - Stadthagen route. At the beginning of 1977, when the locomotive repeatedly had problems with the superheater , it was handed over to the Minden Museum Railway, which had just been founded , and was to be used there for museum use on the routes of the Mindener Kreisbahnen and Wittlager Kreisbahn . The locomotive operated the museum for 40 years and was passed on to the LWL industrial museum in Dortmund-Bövinghausen in 2017 .
