The Alte Sackberg colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Burgaltendorf . The colliery used to be known as the Altesackberg colliery and the Alter Sackberg colliery . The colliery was already in operation before 1791, but there are no details about it.

Mining history

The mine was founded in 1735 under the name Zeche Sackberg . In 1775 the mine was then known as the Zeche Alte Sackberg . In 1785 the pit field was surveyed . In 1794 the mine was entered on the Niemeyersche map . The rights holders comprised four tunnels in the area from the Ruhraue to Haverkamp . The pit field was located between the former Altendorf civil engineering colliery and the area of ​​today's traffic training area. In 1796, shaft 1 was used for shaft extraction . In 1800 coal was mined at shafts 1 and 2 . In 1801 a length field with 10 seams was awarded . Associated with this award was the mining right under the common Geitlinger adit or Altesackberger adit. In the same year , the Alte Sackberg colliery consolidated with the Geitling colliery under the name of the United Alte Sackberg & Geitling colliery .

In 1805 the Elisabeth and Jacob pits were in operation. In 1810, shafts 4 and 5 and the Charlotte shaft were in operation. In 1815 the Charlotte, Isaak, Hardt and Abraham shafts and shaft 5 were in operation. From 1816 coal was transported above ground via a 790 Lachter- long sliding path to the coal storage facility on the Ruhr. In 1820 the mines Johann, Jacob, Carl and Hardt were mined, five years later in 1825 only the Wilhelmina mine.

The Euterpa shaft was put into operation in 1830, and the shaft's extraction capacity was 11,000 Prussian tons per year. In 1838 the solution took place via the four Lachter deeper Himmelsfürster Erbstollen, but this was of little use. In 1840 mining was initially carried out, but operation was postponed during the harvest. In 1845 the colliery was out of operation from April to October due to a lack of sales. In the following year, the mine was out of operation again from November due to a lack of sales. From May of 1847 mining began again. In 1855 the mine was initially independently in operation during the period of February 8 to 14 October, the area was under the sky Fürster Erbstollensohle for mine engineering Altendorf consolidated . In the years 1857 and 1858 the mine was initially still in operation, in 1861 the old Sackberg colliery was closed.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production figures of the mine date back to 1796, there were 35,027 Ringel coal promoted. In 1830, 2552 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1836 15,436¼ tons of hard coal were mined from Prussia. In 1838 the production rose initially to 25,833¼ Prussian tons, in the following years the production sank again. In 1842 the production was still 7,689 Prussian tons. The last known production figures of the mine are from 1847, in that year 6574 bushels of hard coal were produced.
