The Altendorfer Mulde colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Burgaltendorf . The mine was born before 1831 and was first as a drift mine in operation, later became coal by Schacht mined .

Mining history

The Altendorf trade union had been working on tunnel construction in the mine field since 1722 . In 1838, a 7.4 meter thick coal section was mined under the Himmelsfürster Erbstollen . In 1845 civil engineering started . This year was the sinking of the tonnlägigen shaft Rochussen begun. The Rochussen shaft, also known as Rochusen shaft or Rochüsen shaft, was located on today's Burgstrasse and was located in what would later become the northern field of the Altendorf civil engineering colliery . The carbon was reached at a depth of 17 meters. Schacht Laura was added in the course of the year. In 1847 the weather bed was set in the Rochussen shaft at a shallow depth of 93 meters and the first underground floor at a shallow depth of 140 meters . In the same year, mining began in the Rochussen shaft. In 1850, the second level was set at a shallow depth of 220 meters. In 1855 the coal reserves in the Rochussen mine were almost depleted. On February 8 of the same year , the Altendorfer Mulde colliery consolidated with several other mines to form the Altendorf Tiefbau colliery.
