Von-der-Heydt-Schacht
The Von-der-Heydt-Schacht was a hard coal mine in Ibbenbüren . It was named after the Prussian finance minister von der Heydt . It was in the valley cut of the tarpaulin above Ibbenbüren. It was operated from 1851 to 1885.
construction
With the construction of the Hanover West Railway by Ibbenbüren in 1852 it became necessary to mine coal near the railway in order to save unnecessary transport costs to the state railway. The Bodelschwingh tunnel project was then abandoned. The Von-der-Heydt shaft was planned as a replacement, the first work of which began in 1851. The shaft building , which still exists today, was built from rubble stones and given a slate roof. The shaft building contained a water retention room, a hoisting machine room and an apartment for the machinist, which also included rooms on the first floor. In addition, there was a riser room and a storage room for work clothes inside . A boiler house was housed in a higher transverse building. A brick chimney measured 28 m. In the northern part there was a commission room. The top floor had 2 rooms. In the western gable there was a clock and the shaft bell. The mine house is west of the valley. It contained forged, Chew , money receipt restaurant, Steiger apartment and material exchange. All of the buildings were built by master bricklayer Heinrich Bruno from Oelde. To the east of the shaft there were three ponds that held the boiler feed water. The path to the mine dump was crossed with a bridge.
history
The sinking , which was slowed down by the strong flow of water, was repeatedly interrupted because of the excessive water flow. The fact that this area was abundant in water became apparent when the chimney was built, when a strong spring was tapped. The only common tools for swamps of the well (hand pump and lifting vessels) soon proved insufficient against the inflowing water. In 1854 a drainage machine was borrowed from the Laura mine in Minden . She lifted the water to the bottom of the Bockraden tunnel, from which it drained. The hoisting machine for the shaft was supplied by the Prinz-Rudolf-Hütte in Dülmen. It was double-acting and had 16 hp. The water inflows increased in the further sinking so that they were stopped until the commissioning of a high-pressure dewatering machine in 1856. Three boilers, which were supplied by the Gute-Hoffnungshütte, took over the supply of steam. The well-used pumps reached their limits when a gap was opened up that brought 1 m³ per minute and the shaft sank . By converting the larger pump, the performance of the machine was improved so that the shaft could be sumped .
The barrel-length shaft
Since the railway was now in operation and the work on the dragged Von-der-Heydt-bay, one was west tonnlägiger bay on seam Glücksburg drilled. This was shut down again after four years of operation. This inclined section was later connected to the 1st underground level of the Von-Oeynhausen-Schacht. For a long time it was used to drive in the workforce. Because the pit horses of the Von-Oeynhausen-Schacht drove in, the route was named the horse route. It was used for the last time from 1921 to 1923, when the lease mine owned by Wilhelm Schweppe from Osnabrück used it to mine it from his lease mine.
completion
In 1857 regular funding could be started. With the iron hoisting cages , two carts could be lifted each, which then lead to the surface in the shaft to the west of the shaft in the valley. In 1858 and 1861, weather shafts were sunk in the eastern part of the operation. In 1861 the Dickenberger deep tunnel was cut through with the shaft. This ended here with a total length of 7.5 km. In 1871 the Bentingsbank seam was set at 71m and a building base was added. In the east the mining field extended to the Rochusberg, the end of the coal mountains. In 1874 the shaft was completed at a depth of 98 m. A cross passage opened up the northern field of the Bentingsbank seam with 107 m. The coal was transported to Ibbenbüren station from 1856 shortly before the railway opened. This run had been planned for the Beustschacht since 1846, but was never carried out. Horses pulled the wagons to the station. On the Bremsberg, the empty wagons were pulled up over a pulley and the full ones let down. At the station there were loading facilities for loading the coal. From 1862, the production took place via the Ibbenbüren conveyor tunnel. The coal railway became redundant and canceled. The construction and breakthrough of the Von-Oeynhausen-Schacht with the conveyor tunnel and the Von-der-Heydt-Schacht prevented further operation, as this would have had to open up new fields and shut it down in 1885.
