The west field is located in the Ibbenbürener coal field in the Tecklenburger Land . It includes the western part of the Ibbenbürener Karbonscholle (Dickenberg). It extends from Bockradener Graben in the east to Uffeln in the west, and from Püsselbüren in the south to Recke in the north. The coal mining ended here 1979th
geology
Due to the strong coalification caused by the Bramscher Pluton , the coal is classified as lean coal , at a greater depth than anthracite . The west field is more fragmented than the east field due to faults . It is separated from this by the Bockradener Graben, a 2 km wide morphological boundary.
Seams
The following seams were mined
- Dickenberg, field name after the town of Dickenberg / Ibbenbüren
- Buchholz (called Flottwell in Ostfeld), field name after the forest Buchholz
- Alexander
- Glücksburg
- Bentingsbank, named after the Benting family
- Talk
- Theodore
- Seam 2, from seam Theodor numbering of the seams
Seams 45 to 74 currently being mined in the eastern field were not developed here.
history
The beginnings of mining go back to the 15th century. The Orange rentmaster van Limborg mentioned lime kilns in the Graflich Lingschen in Uffeln - Ibbenbüren in 1563 , which were fired with hard coal. Around 1600 there were several pits that were leased to Hinrich Wessels, Saline Gottesgabe in Rheine and Saline Hermannshalle in Bevergern . These were in the Buchholz and in the Uffeln farmers. In 1687 the pits came into the possession of the rent master J. de Farmers, who ran the mines on behalf of the state.
Dickenberg mine
From 1691 to 1697 Dickenberger upper tunnel was the solution of the water 550 meters deep in the mountains ascended . During the construction of four Walloon miners were involved, with black powder for the first time in Ibbenbürener station blew up . These also introduced the removal of the supporting pillars . After the county of Tecklenburg was taken over by the Prussians, mining was given up until 1714. In 1731 the Prussian government rebuilt the mine. In 1771 the excavation of the Dickenberger Tiefen adit began. The mine was closed in 1825 in favor of the Glücksburg colliery.
Buchholz pit
The Buchholz colliery extracted coal from the seam of the same name. It was made accessible through the Steinbecker tunnel, which was excavated in 1748 . From 1797 to 1866 the Luise shaft was mined . After the closure, the Bernhardschacht was in production from 1864 to 1886, which was replaced by the Rudolfschacht in 1884. In 1843 the project of the Bodelschwingh tunnel was approved. This should branch off from Ostenwalde on the Aa and serve to drain the Buchholzgruben. The Stollenrösche was driven 2,943 m. When they wanted to start the tunnel mouth hole , the project was abandoned because it was cheaper to mine the southern coal deposits near the state railway. The tunnel rose can still be seen next to the Herthasee campsite .
Glücksburg mine
In 1803 the Glücksburg mine was founded on the southern edge of the Dickenberg. It extracted from the seam of the same name and supplied the Gravenhorster ironworks with coal. The evening star shaft of this pit was the first Ibbenbüren mine to have a steam hoisting machine . From 1840 the company moved eastwards to the Ostfeld.
The pommer ash shaft
To promote coal near the state railway, the shaft 1856 geteuft . As a result of strong water inflows, the shaft sank several times. The first excavation level was set at 142 m, the second at 169 m. The final depth was 174 m. In 1860 he came to the breakthrough with the Püsselbueren conveyor tunnel . Due to the small operating field, the coal supplies were exhausted in 1879 and the shaft was closed.
The Püsselburen conveyor tunnel
The tunnel was excavated in 1856 to remove the coal extracted from the Pommer-Esche shaft . It broke through in 1860 with 1,136 m. After the closure of the Pommer-Esche shaft, it was extended to 2,140 m in 1896 and then put back into operation.
Rudolf shaft
The 32 m deep Rudolfschacht, operated as a manual reel shaft, was the only shaft in the western field that was still active from 1886. In order to compensate for the loss of production on the flooded von-Oeynhausen-Schacht in Ostfeld, it was sunk deeper in 1896 and connected to the Püsselbueren conveyor tunnel. He received a steam hoist in 1895.
Takeover by Preussag
The Westfeld was incorporated into Preussag in 1924 .

business
The production of the western field was increased from 10,000 t in 1913 to 260,613 t in 1943. The production in the tunnel was switched to benzene and later diesel locomotives. In 1950 the 500,000 t and in 1972 the 1,000,000 t limit was exceeded. The workforce peaked in 1958 with 1,819 men. Coal extraction took on a special position in West German mining, as long-front mining was often not possible due to the numerous geological faults in the Glücksburg and Buchholz seams. Nevertheless, a performance of 12 to 14 t per man per shift was achieved. In Seam Reden and Seam 2, which were 0.70 and 1.20 meters high, respectively, mining speeds of up to 10 meters per day were achieved. Winning was made with a scraper. Tunneling of up to 302 m per month was not uncommon. Since the costs of exploring deeper seams seemed too high, the operation was shut down in 1979. The colliery has sunk to the Dickenberger Tiefen Stollen.
Received plants
Marianne mine on the Dickenberg, mining dumps at Rudolfschacht and Hopstener Halde as well as small dumps at the former location of the Wilhelmschacht. Mouth holes of the Steinbecker tunnel and the Dickenberger deep tunnel, which still drains the pit water today. Numerous pings indicate mining in the Buchholz and on the Dickenberg.
