The Österbank colliery was a hard coal mine in the Vormholz district of Witten . The mine was also known under the names Zeche Oesterbank and Zeche Osterbank . The colliery was located near the later United Hermann colliery , west of Muttental . The pit field of the Österbank colliery extended from the Muttenbach to below the Berghauser Höfe.
history
The beginnings
On December 19, 1750, the prospect for the mine field was introduced. Johann Mittelste Berghaus appeared as mother . Johann Mittelste Berghaus assumed a field the size of a treasure trove and six dimensions . After the mutation, dismantling began. Mittelste Berghaus mined coal in the mine field with several interruptions. In 1754 the pit field was measured . In the years 1754 and 1755, 1761 and 1762 and 1771 the mine was demonstrably in operation. On February 26th, 1771, the trades Johann Röttger Mittelste Berghaus, Melchior Jürgen Mittelste Berghaus, Johann Jürgen Mittelste Berghaus, Johann Wilhelm Bornemann and Caspar Ernst Schumacher were noted in the documents . The trades had different numbers of Kuxe . Christian Vahlefeld was also noted in the documents as a lieutenant. The legal fees were paid. An application for lending had not yet been submitted. However, the trades had already asked the mining authority for a loan. There is evidence that the mine was also in operation in 1775. In 1777 the mine ownership was divided among the descendants of Johann Mittelste Berghaus.
The other years
On July 24th, 1806, a length field was awarded to the Geitling seam . After that, the mine was idle for several years. In the following years, the trades asked the mining authority to start up again. Several negotiations were held before the mining authority approved the restart. According to the documents, the Österbank colliery was put back into operation in April 1831. A suitable shaft was required in order to be able to convey the coal mined for days . The Constanz shaft, which was suitable for this, was required by the Louisenglück colliery itself. Thus, only the shaft of the Turteltaube colliery , which was located north of the Österbank field, could be used. For this purpose, the coal mined first had to be transported north from the Österbank field. The promotion was carried out by a tunnel in Muttental. The transport bins were transported to the shaft of the Turteltaube colliery via wooden rails by means of rack trolleys. There they were conveyed for days and reloaded onto Muttentalbahn wagons. The Österbank colliery had to pay a tunnel and shaft tax to the Turteltaube trades for the use of the conveyor systems. Furthermore, a trade had to be paid to the landowner, Steiger Best. In 1835, the mine field was the St. John's Erbstollen solved . In the course of the year 1837 operations were stopped again. Before 1854 the colliery was in operation again for a short time. In the period from May 29, 1854 to October 18, 1856 , the Hermann colliery consolidated below the St. Johannes Erbstollen into the Herberholz colliery . On April 11 of 1864 which was Restberechtsame from the Mining Authority for mountain freely explained. The rest of the field above the bottom of the Erbstollen was re-awarded in 1883 under the name Hermann .
Promotion and workforce
The first known workforce dates from 1831, when between ten and fifteen miners were employed in the mine. The first production figures date from 1833, in that year 18,487 bushels of hard coal were produced . This is also the probably maximum production of the mine. In 1835 4598 bushels of hard coal were mined. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1837, in that year 866 Prussian tons of hard coal were produced.
