The Mooshüttestollen is a former mine tunnel in the Deister near Bad Nenndorf in Lower Saxony .
history
There is evidence of a coal mine in operation in the Deister as early as 1639. During the 19th century it came to rest many small mines to promote in to cm to 100 powerful coal seams encountered Wealdenkohle . As a result of takeovers, the mining operations and concessions in the north-west of the Deister between Egestorf and Bantorf came into state ownership and were combined to form the Preussag Barsinghausen coal mine . In the early 1950s, the mine operated four production shafts in the communities of Barsinghausen and Großgoltern in what was then the district of Hanover . Some old tunnels, like the Barsinghausen monastery tunnel, were only used for weather control .
On the Strutzberg in the north-west of the Deister, the border between the Grafschaft Schaumburg district and the Hanover district, today that of the Schaumburg district with the Hanover region , ran roughly along the eastern edge of the forest. On the Hanover side, hard coal had already been mined here in the Carlschacht sunk in 1856. This belonged to the Antonie colliery in Bantorf, which was taken over in 1907 and closed in 1928 by the Barsinghausen coal mine due to lack of profitability. In the Deister, in the area of Schaumburg, a refuge was built at the Hessian spring in 1895 , which was expanded into the Mooshütte forest restaurant in the following decades . Presumably as a result of the Bantorf mining, the spring largely dried up in the 1930s.

After the Second World War , the demand for hard coal increased significantly in the early 1950s. As part of the emergency mining , the Mooshütte tunnel was driven from September 1, 1951 on the east bank of the almost dried up Hessian Bach north of the Mooshütte . In 1951, 35 miners were still extracting 1,019 tons of coal here.
The tunnel served as the 1952 south of the summer-house on the eastern slope of the mountain Strutz ( 198 m above sea level. NHN ), drilled Strutzberg tunnel mining of coal remaining pillars .
The coal of the 50 cm thick seams was extracted by the miners with simple means and often lying down and loaded into trucks that transported the pit horses away.
Coal production in the 276 m long moss hut tunnel ended on June 4, 1954. The mouth hole was sealed with concrete. The roof of the tunnel is open about 10 m behind the mouth hole and an entrance is built in as a weather tunnel.
The production in the Strutzberg tunnel lasted until 1960. The jointly used operating buildings ▼ the tunnels stood on the site of the Mooshütte. When both tunnels were closed, the wash house, including steering room, bathroom, dressing room and pit lamp charging station, was converted into a guest house. The building with stables, transformer and compressor station stood between this and the moss hut and was demolished.
The "Förderverein Besucherbergwerk Monastery tunnel" informed with an information board ▼ the coal path in Mooshütte to Mooshütte tunnels and Strutzberg tunnels.
