The bill Altendorf civil engineering was a coal - mine in Essen .
history
In 1855 (October 14th) several small mining operations were consolidated (a., United Mülheimer Glück & Wildenstein, b., United Grosse Varstbank & Altendorfer Erbstollen , c., United Prussian Eagle, d., Catharina and Catharina II, e. , Zeche Alte Aproche , f., United Neue Sackberg & Schrutenberend , g., Alte Sackberg , h., United Alte Sackberg & Gleitling, i., Neue Aproche k., Poland and l., Dreieinigkeit) in the area of Burgaltendorf to one mining union . These were tunnel operations , from which the Altendorfer Mulde tunnels had already been used for underground engineering through tunnels (sloping downwards) .
That is why the newly founded trade union Altendorf Tiefbau was named. The coal was initially continue on the tunnels , while opening up the deeper soles on the two shafts Rochussen (in 1845 by the bill Altendorfer trough sunk was the bay in "northern trough" renamed) and Laura took place.
In 1862 a fire in the mine resulted in a long interruption of operations. After the mine had been restored, the Kandanghauer company along with the Willm tunnel and shaft was acquired. The colliery was then expanded according to modern aspects. In 1873 (first attempts in 1865), pneumatic hammers were used for the first time in the Ruhr mining industry at the Altendorf civil engineering colliery .
Around 1879 the mine was given a siding by the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft for the purpose of transporting coal to the Altendorf (Ruhr) station and thus to the Middle Ruhr Valley Railway .
In 1880, a flood in the Ruhr flooded the nearby mine workings and brought operations to a complete standstill for a year. After workover the decision followed completely for civil engineering with seigeren (vertical) shafts move. From 1887 to 1888, shaft 1 of the Altendorf colliery was sunk. After its commissioning, the colliery with 630 employees achieved its highest output of 210,000 t of anthracite coal annually.
In the period that followed, the mine was to be expanded extensively. In 1893 a briquette factory went into operation. In 1896, shaft 2 was added next to shaft 1 . Several water inrushes repeatedly led to severe disruptions in the sinking operation. In 1899 the two oldest tonnage shafts were dropped . After the completion of Shaft 2 in 1902, Shaft Willm was also dropped and filled .
The nearby Ruhr continued to disrupt mining operations. Shaft 1 broke in 1907 . The pit sank, which brought the Altendorf union into severe financial problems. The payment difficulties were also compounded by the fact that the company had bought mining fields in previous years ( Zeche Prinz Friedrich and others) in order to be able to expand the mine field.
In 1908 the Altendorf union was bought up by the Essener Steinkohlenbergwerke AG because the union was no longer economically viable. Shaft 1 has been reopened.
Shutdown
However, the operating company found that the stocks that were economically viable at the time were not sufficient to justify further expansion of the mine. The focus of the Essener Steinkohlenbergwerke AG was at the time more on the expansion of the more efficient mine systems.
The Altendorf Tiefbau colliery was shut down in 1914. Shaft 1 was filled, shaft 2 was covered and continued as a shutdown area.
In 1958, the field was Altendorf civil engineering from the colliery Dahl Hauser civil engineering in the mining plan included. Shaft 2 was repaired and provided with a new headframe . From 1965 the Altendorf 2 shaft was assigned to the Carl Funke colliery and managed as the Carl Funke 5 shaft until it was closed in 1973.
Current condition
After the Altendorf 2 shaft was backfilled in 1974, the area in Burgaltendorf was taken over for industrial use. Only a few small buildings indicate their original use.
