history

The beginnings

On October 14, 1848, the square planet field was awarded . The mine was in operation under the name Zeche Adolphus until 1855 . Due to a lack of funds, the mine was closed. In 1869 the mine was reopened under the name Zeche Vereinigte Adolph . From April 7th of the same year the mine was closed again. In the following year, the mine was initially put back into operation and closed again a little later. In 1872 the mine was opened again. As the old pit of the mine committed a crime , was started in the same year, the tonnlägigen shaft to sink . That same year, the shaft reached at a depth of 26 meters (+84 m NN the) carbon .

The other years

In 1873 the name was changed to Zeche Planetfeld . In 1873, a joint venture with the United Carlsglück colliery was established under the name of Vereinigte Carlsglück & Planet Field. Despite this merger, both mines remained legally independent. In the same year the Adolph shaft reached a depth of 35 laughs. Subsequently, in the bay with the promotion started. The sinking work was then continued and an underground connection to the United Carlsglück colliery was established. In 1874, the alignment of the first level began. This sole is at a depth of 96 meters (+14 m NN) ascended . A midsole was driven at a shallower depth of 147 meters (−37 m NN). However, no good outcrops could be reached with the midsole. In 1876 the second level was set at a shallow depth (418 meters above sea level) (−308 m above sea level). In 1881 the developed deposits gradually came to an end. In 1882 a mining contract was signed with the United Germania mine. Due to this contract, the colliery planet field was able to dismantle in the safety pillar between the two mines . In 1886 a breakthrough to the United Carlsglück colliery was made on the second level . In the same year , the two previously independent mines consolidated into the United Carlsglück & Planetfeld colliery .

Promotion and workforce

In 1869 a total of 94 tons of hard coal were extracted with seven miners. In 1872 there were already 151 employees at the mine. In 1878 122 people were employed at the mine, the production amounted to around 28,000 tons of hard coal. In 1880, 24,845 tons of hard coal were extracted and the workforce was 86. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1881. This year, 93 employees produced 31,009 tonnes of hard coal. The last production and workforce figures are from 1885, when 19,254 tonnes of hard coal were mined with 88 employees.
