Mausegatt
Mausegatt is the name of a coal seam under the southern Ruhr area .
history
On September 16, 1781, the Essen prince abbess Maria Kunigunde of Saxony enfeoffed a certain Arnold Schulten with the cabbage trade, known as the Musegatt, located in the Essendische Heide.
It belongs to the lower edible coal layers or Witten layers.
The seam was mined by the hard coal mines in Witten and Alte Haase in Sprockhövel, but also by other mines in the southern Ruhr area.
The name Mausegatt is probably derived from a Low German term for a mouse hole, "gatt" = narrow passage - and thus characterized the seam as relatively narrow.
After this seam are in Essen-Rellinghausen , Mülheim an der Ruhr ( mining settlement Mausegatt ), Duisburg-Bergheim (in the industrial area of the former coal mine Wilhelmine Mevissen ), Bochum , Castrop-Rauxel , in the Gelsenkirchen district Beckhausen , Hattingen , Herne , Kamen , Recklinghausen , Sprockhövel as well as in Neukirchen-Vluyn streets.
In Dortmund , a motorway parking lot on the A45 bears this name.
