The Meiselschacht was a coal mine of the Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein . The shaft was in the northern part of the hard coal deposit of the Döhlen basin on the Gitterseer corridor.
history
On 27 July 1828 began depths of the shaft. The owners were the Dresden city councilor Karl Ludwig Meisel and the chemist Johann Karl Gottfried Reichard (1786–1844). From 1836 the shaft belonged to the Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein founded in the same year.
The shaft had a massive brick hothouse in the style of a Malakoff tower , but with a completely unadorned facade. A steam engine from the Mechanische Werkstätten Harkort & Co. from Wetter an der Ruhr was used for the promotion .
The at 272 m above sea level. The shaft set up above sea level reached a depth of 474 meters. At 250 meters the one meter thick limestone seam and at 268 meters the two meter thick Meisel shaft seam were cut. This seam is a coal-like horizon with layers of fire slate, the distribution of which is limited to the area of the Meiselschacht. The first seam with a thickness of four meters was intersected at 465 meters. The second seam at a depth of 471 meters consisted of a 0.40 meter thick layer of carbonaceous shale. The coal encountered in the 1st seam was of poor quality, so that the shaft was closed after two years of trial mining. The steam engine was expanded. Their whereabouts are not known. The time of the reconstruction of the shaft and the start of mining is unknown, but is after 1846.
The shaft stood on the northern edge of the Rote Ochsen , the main fault in the Döhlen basin. The coal seams in the area of the shaft have sunk by 360 meters compared to the Augustus shaft 800 meters away on the southern edge of the fault . In the shaft area, the seams are subdivided into several clods, which made coal extraction very expensive. Due to the severely disturbed seam and the poor quality of coal, mining in the area of the shaft only took place on very small areas. In the north-west direction the seams rise by 16 ° to 25 °. The Meiselschacht is connected over several stretches with the Moritzschacht and over a Haspelberg with the Emmaschacht . Coal was mined in the Moritzschacht field below the III, which is 80 m below sea level . Sole.
In 1856 the shaft was connected to the newly built Hänichen coal branch line .
After the bankruptcy proceedings against the Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein opened on July 21, 1859, remaining areas were mined by the end of December 1859. In the last six months, 15,200 bushels of coal were mined at a sales price of 5.25 groschen per bushel. The cost was 16.20 groschen per bushel of coal extracted. After the cessation of operations, the shaft was filled.
On May 14, 1863, Hermann Gruson bought the Meisel shaft and the associated mine fields for 2,000 marks. Between 1881 and 1885 there was a plan to overcome the Meiselschacht and the Moritzschacht. However, this was not implemented.
After Hermann Gruson's death in 1895, his second wife, Helene Gruson, his two daughters, Marie Luise Winckelmann and Luise Marie Hildebrandt, and his son Herman August Gruson inherited the mining rights. On March 25, 1908, these were entered in the land register. On May 8, 1921, the mining rights were officially canceled.
The time after 1945
In 1958 the project of the VEB hard coal works " Willi Agatz " was born to use the Meisel shaft as a blind shaft . It was assumed that the field north of the Red Ox still had coal reserves of 214,000 t. The planned costs for the overhaul were given as 560,000 marks. The shaft was made from shaft 1 ( shaft 358 ) of the mining company in Gittersee, on the 1st level at 84 m above sea level. NN approached via cross passages 1 and 15. A concrete seal was placed in the shaft above the filling point. The shaft was opened up to the swamp. On the −194 meter level it was connected to the 3rd level of shaft 1, at 245 m below sea level , over rock mountain 8, hewing up 312 and cross passage 11. The upper half of the seam was unclean Coal and fire slate in the lower half. A wooden mine railway switch was found during the clearing work. However, this find was sawn into firewood by employees of the mine. In 1964 the shaft was dropped again. The shaft tube below the concrete seal was not filled. Cross passage 11 was dammed and the mine field was flooded.
On July 17, 1991, the shaft's offset column suddenly slipped 11 meters. The shaft was then aufgewältigt and through the Bergsicherung to this depth with a Betonplombe kept .
