The Upper Sürsserbrinker tunnels , in the course of time with name variations, such as Upper Suerser Brink cleats called, is a former mine stollen in Deister in Wennigsen (Deister) in Lower Saxony .
history
In the Deister near Wennigsen, there was evidence of the operation of a coal mine on the Bröhn in 1639 . Count Ernst Franz von Platen-Hallermund located adjacent Suerser secured rights to the northwest Brink and made since 1797 by miners from the resin several tunnels and shafts mount up . Of these, the upper and lower Sürsserbrinker tunnels achieved importance. The coal was mined from the 6 inch thick second from the top of seven proven seams at the Süerser Brink.
From 1807 the Linden entrepreneur Johann Egestorff gradually leased the coal mines near Wennigsen, including the Sürsserbrinker tunnels in 1812. The mines at Bröhn, Hülsebrink and Suerser Brink employed a total of 16 miners and 40 carters . In addition to the own needs of his lime works in Linden, Egestorff operated coal trading. In 1813 he also took over the marketing of coal from the neighboring mine owned by Freiherr Knigge, which had previously been in competition . Initially, Egestorff limited the production of his mines to 25,000 bellows (1,250 t ) annually. The coal was brought from the pits to a transshipment point on Georgsplatz and from there, with up to eight-horse wagons , mainly to Hanover .
The Suerser Brink forest district came into state ownership in the 1840s through an area swap by the descendants of Suersen . After the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1866, the coal mines near Wennigsen were taken over by the Royal Prussian Mountain Inspection on the Deister , based in Barsinghausen . The mining inspection concentrated its production on the colliery area connected to the Deisterbahn at the Barsinghausen monastery tunnel , where the vast majority of coal production has taken place since the 1880s. In 1891 the production in the upper Sürsserbrinker tunnel was stopped.
From 1946 to 1953, the former district of Hanover operated the Upper Sürsserbrinker tunnel as an emergency mine for house fires in the district with the approval of the British military authorities . A transshipment point on the edge of the Deister, used for coal transport by truck , has since served as a parking lot for hikers . In 1952, in addition to the previously wooden structures, a permanent building was erected as a wash house on the tunnel .
Schleifbachhütte
The district of Hanover and later, as its successor, the Hanover region, leased the building, located on a raised plateau above the headwaters of the Schleifbach in the landscape protection area , from the Lower Saxony forestry office responsible as the owner . The Schleifbachhütte consisted of the laundry room, expanded by an extension, as the main building with a kitchen, lounge and bedroom ( 52 ° 15 ′ 32 ″ N , 9 ° 29 ′ 35.4 ″ E ) and a separate wooden sanitary building. ( 52 ° 15 ′ 33.8 ″ N , 9 ° 29 ′ 36.6 ″ E ) The water that escaped from a maintained section of the tunnel was used to supply service water. The users were mainly youth groups from the region who also took part in the maintenance of the hut with work assignments.
On July 23, 2016 at around 7:30 a.m., the roof of the main building caught fire due to a defective smoke outlet in the chimney . The fire brigade operation was made more difficult by the difficult procurement of extinguishing water. In October 2016 it became known that the hut would not be rebuilt due to the stricter fire protection regulations since its construction and for reasons of cost.
Before the ruins were demolished, representatives of 23 groups associated with the hut said goodbye to the Schleifbachhütte on November 20, 2016.
