history

The first years

On January 7, 1751 took place a new presumption of an old coal mine, previously under the name Old Man had been operated. The mother was Johann Diedrich Wesselsiepe, Jörgen Dietrich Kamplade, Johannes Schulte im Hof ​​Stiepel, Friedrich Wilhelm Kamplade, Johann Diedrich Kortwig and Johann Henrich Rumberg. On February 4, 1752 was carried out ceremony of Berechtsame for the main seam Geitling first mortgaged were charging Kamp, Brüggeney to Stiepel and company with a mine and two dimensions. It then carried from the Ruhr lowlands out the excavation of a tunnel Underlining the east. The tunnel was north of today's Brockhauser Strasse and 150 meters east of Koster Strasse. The length was between 100 and 400 meters. Then a 42 meter deep shaft was sunk , which reached to the bottom of the tunnel . However, the dismantling could only take place temporarily, because the mine had to be given several deadlines because the Ruhr was not yet navigable and the coal had to be transported via other routes. In the years 1754 and 1755, due to a lack of sales, deadlines were also worked. In the years 1758, 1759 and 1768 the mine was demonstrably in operation. From 1771 the mine was free of mines again .

The other years

On January 13, 1771, the deputy miner Heintzmann reported to the mining authority that he wanted to start up the Altemann colliery, which had not paid any recession funds for years and had therefore fallen into the free mountain range, in the near future by other trades . On November 12th, 1772, Kamplade and consorts appealed against this decision. The trades Kamp charge stated that they the Rezessgelder to the regular shift foreman of the mine Prussian scepter would have paid and that should forward them. They wanted to keep the Altemann colliery and pointed out that they had not been heard as trades. On January 28, 1773, Heintzmann pointed out in his statement that the current mining regulations had been followed and that the trades could mute the mine again. In 1775 there was a renewed expectation, but no start of operation. In 1782 renewed presumption and surveying the field, a new measurement of the loaned field took place in 1785. A year later, the old tunnel was so strong collapsed, that he was no longer usable. An application was made for a new tunnel to be built 6 meters below the old tunnel. After a tunnel about 90 meters long had been excavated, an extended field was awarded on June 27, 1789. In April of the following year the mine was out of operation again.

The last few years until the consolidation

Since the funds were not paid, the mine was again declared free of mining in 1804 . After in 1826 the arrears of monies had been paid for the field, which was Berechtsame awarded to the owner of Elvers Feldt. In August 1833 the mine was put back into operation. Since the old tunnel was broken , a new tunnel was set up in the Geitling 2 secondary seam. The excavation took place in the following years in an easterly direction over a length of 500 meters. Then, by driving a crosscut , the main seam and another unspecified seam were excavated. In 1834 a conveyor route up to the Ruhr with wooden rails was laid out. A year later construction of the coal defeat and start of mining to the Ruhr. In 1840 the tonnage Wilhelm shaft was sunk for weather management and coal extraction to the Carl Wilhelm tunnel bottom. In 1842, together with the mutation of the Ernestine seam, it was consolidated into the United Old Man colliery.

advancement

The mining figures of the Altemann colliery are only known from the year 1836, in that year 10,623 5/8 tons of coal were mined. This corresponds to the equivalent of 2360 tons. In 1838, 24,574 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. After that, the funding steadily decreased. In 1840 13,280 Prussian tons were extracted.
