history

Neue Bommerbank and Helene Gertrud

The mine was in operation long before 1743. There is evidence that the Neue Bommerbank was awarded on February 9, 1743. The survey was carried out on June 10, 1754, after which the mine was still in operation. The period between 1755 and 1775 was a very eventful time for the mine. Phases of operation and phases of standstill alternated. In 1755 the mine was in operation for a time. According to the records of the Wetteramt, Mr. Keßeler worked as a shift supervisor at the mine in 1755 . The trade was Doctor Funcke. In the years 1756, 1758 to 1759 and 1761 to 1762 as well as from 1769 the mine was also demonstrably in operation. Little is reported about the mine between 1775 and 1787. In 1790, which took place on April 10 ceremony of the length field to the west of Bommer bankers Erbstollns. From 1791 the tunnel was dismantled and from 1800 it was used to mine.

In 1805, the stocks above the bottom of the tunnel were dismantled, after which operations were stopped. The solution came from the Bommersbänker Erbstolln mine; the profit was 15 Lachter construction height . Between 1805 and 1811 the mine was only in operation temporarily, the other time it was set within deadlines . From 1811, the Alte Bommerbank and the Helene Gertrud colliery began to mine Göpelschächten . The Alte Bommerbank colliery owned its own Henriette , Friedrich and Engelberth Göpel shafts . On January 25, 1813, the union with the Helene Gertrud colliery took place, but the operational accounting of the two mines continued to be separate. Further Göpel shafts were sunk at intervals of 50 to 200 meters down to the level of the Erbstollen. Funding took place via these Göpel shafts as required. In 1819 the Göpelschacht Mina and two years later the Göpelschacht Carl went into production. From 1830 mining via the Gotthilf , Mina and Hoffnung Göpel shafts in the upper Muttental . From 1834 on, Gotthilf and Hoffnung were extracted from the shafts, and the mine was again only in operation at times. In 1837 the Henriette shaft was backfilled . From 1842 only Gotthilf shaft and from 1845 Friedrich shaft were in production.

Old Bommerbank & Erbstollen and United Bommerbänker Colliery Civil engineering

In 1850 it was partially merged with the Alte Bommerbank & Erbstollen mine. Two years later, only 2 sites were occupied on the construction site. From 1855, it was named jointly with the Alte Bommerbank & Erbstollen mine. At this point in time, the tunnel from the left slopes of the Ruhr had been driven in Lachter in 1950 . In 1856, an old manhole that was no longer in use was damaged. The shaft was located on a privately owned property and had to be secured accordingly. This shaft was probably the Henriette shaft. In 1861 the mining took place via the Göpelschacht Engelberth . On May 20, 1862, the mine was consolidated with 19 other small mines to form the United Bommerbänker Tiefbau colliery . In 1867 the old construction site was closed.

Workforce and Promotion

The first production figures are given for the year 1830, in which 4,329 tons of hard coal were produced. In 1833 the production was 25,909 bushels (equivalent to 1,295 t). In 1835, production dropped to 813 tons (12,260 bushels). Three years later, 3,238 tons (64,756 bushels) of coal were extracted with twenty miners . In 1840 the production sank again to 2,618 tons per year. In 1845 eight to thirteen miners extracted a total of around 1,642 tons (32,830 bushels). Two years later the production sank again to 1,236 tons (24,725 bushels), the workforce was between five and twelve miners. In 1852, 1,200 tons (24,000 bushels) were extracted. After the merger with the Alte Bommerbank & Erbstollen colliery in 1855, the production amounted to 3,993 Prussian tons . This promotion was provided by six miners. The last production figure is given for the year 1861, it was 150 tons (3,000 bushels). In 1864 six and in 1866 only three miners were employed at the colliery.
