Mining history

Under the name Eagle Mining mbH 1,906 more quietly lying mining companies and their were Berechtsame to the area Kupferdreh acquired. In the Deilbachtal in the Ver. Petersburg a civil engineering shaft was sunk from 1906 to 1908. A brick winding tower was built over this shaft .

Even during the drilling of the main shaft Adler 1 several have already been tonnlägige (= oblique) taken shafts into operation to partially even the promotion to be addressed and on the other hand the ventilation of mines ensure. After completion of the production shaft, one of the tonnage shafts was continued as shaft 2. The other two were thrown off afterwards .

In 1908 a briquette factory was put into operation at the Adler 1/2 mine .

In 1909 and 1910, on the old colliery grounds directly adjoining the new colliery grounds, Ver. Petersburg the shafts 1 and 2 wiederaufgewältigt . The old production shaft Petersburg 1 was listed as eagle 3 , while shaft Petersburg 2 was only listed as a sunk weather . In 1912, the production reached 310,000 tons of anthracite coal annually.

After the First World War , Bergwerksgesellschaft Adler mbH was converted into a stock corporation. These acquired from 1922 increasingly pit field possession and other mining operations, the mine Steingatt , the colliery in Charlotte , the bill Johann Deimel mountain and the mine Centrum 4/6 . Nevertheless, the colliery had to stop production in 1925 due to sales. Thanks to a capital contribution from the shareholders, operations could be resumed.

The inflow of water from a neighboring, disused old plant again led to operational disruptions, so that Adler Bergbau AG had to liquidate. In 1929 the entire mine property was sold to the Heinrich union . This shut down the Adler mine in 1930. The briquette factory was shut down the following year.

Todays use

The plants were completely canceled. The area that is used industrially today no longer shows any traces of mining use. A former company building of the Adler colliery was preserved until it was demolished in March 2011 and stood opposite the former colliery administration in the street Deilbachtal.
