The bill Amalie was a coal - mine in Essen (neighborhoods Altendorf , Bergeborbeck ).

history

The colliery was built as a connection facility to the United Sälzer & Neuack colliery .

After the union Ver. Salzer & Neuack in the mining field Amalie a small seigerer shaft in operation had been taken, tapping into this connector panel was also decided by an independent conveyor pit. In 1849 the Amalie union was founded and the Ver. Sälzer & Neuack had the Kuxen majority .

1850-1854 was in Bergeborbeck the shaft to Pferdebahnstraße Amalie 1 drilled . This shaft was immediately expanded as a production shaft and equipped with a Malakow tower . In 1853 "Helene Amalie" (along with Victoria Mathias colliery ) was one of the first two Ruhr mines on which pit horses were used for underground transport as planned . The old Amalia shaft, which was halfway between the Amalie 1 shaft and the Huyssen shaft of the United Sälzer & Neuack colliery , was slammed into the Amalie colliery as a weather sink without a conveyor system.

In 1868 the Amalie union increased the capital in order to open up the east field in the area of Altenessen with a further extraction shaft . In 1870 the Helene shaft was sunk as a separate conveyor system on Twentmannstrasse . The union changed the name to the United Helene & Amalie union and acted as a joint operating company. Both mines were run as independent operating facilities. In 1871 a coking plant was opened next to the Amalie shaft .

In 1895 the union Ver. Helene & Amalie joined the Rhenish-Westphalian Coal Syndicate (RWKS). The two mines were henceforth managed and expanded as a joint operating facility. The Amalie shaft was fitted with a drawn-in headframe on the shaft tower. Between 1902 and 1906, the Marie shaft was sunk next to the Amalie shaft and served as an independent conveyor and cable car shaft. In 1910, Marie in addition to Schacht Amalie / a briquette for Esskohlen - briquettes built.

Former Administration building of the Amalie colliery

Around 1914 to 1915, the administration building was built at Helenenstrasse 110 according to plans by the architect Edmund Körner . Due to severe war damage, the rebuilt building now only bears the architect's original artistic design at the entrance area.

In 1919 the small Amalia mine was dropped . In 1921 an interest agreement was signed between the Ver. Helene & Amalie and Friedrich Krupp AG . The Ver. During these years, Helene & Amalie produced 950,000 tons of coal annually with 4,900 employees. From 1922 to 1926, a small weather shaft called Barbara was sunk between the Amalie mine and the Helene colliery . This was equipped with a small conveyor.

In 1927 the colliery was completely integrated into the Krupp Group. Along with the colliery Salzer & Neuack was the Friedrich Krupp AG Essen mines formed. The funding strategy was concentrated and reoriented. After it had been decided that the plants should be kept in production and that production capacities should not be shut down, the Amalie shaft was first backfilled in 1929 and then sunk again. In 1934 a new, full-walled headframe was erected above the shaft. This was followed by the separation of the Helene mine, which from then on was run as an independent conveyor system.

Amalie / Marie shaft, Barbara shaft and the Huyssen / Schmits mine of the United Sälzer & Neuack colliery were combined to form the new Sälzer-Amalie composite mine and continued to operate.

Current condition

After the Sälzer-Amalie colliery was closed in 1966, the Barbara mine was backfilled and demolished. Amalie and Marie shafts remain open to the surrounding mines as dewatering shafts. The headframe Schacht Marie was replaced in 1982 by a small aid subsidy.

At the beginning of 2008, the power plant was demolished in order to make space for construction work as part of the Krupp-Gürtel urban development project . On May 17, 2008, the 126 meter high chimney was laid down.
