history
The beginnings
The mine was already in operation in 1850. On March 15, 1851 was square box to promote iron ore awarded . In 1852, the mining of iron rock began, the extraction took place in daily operation. In 1855 was awarded the depths of tonnlägigen called shaft Reinberg, including manhole Reinsbach started. The shaft was located on Isenstein east of Hagener Strasse. The mining of coal iron in the Carlsbank seam was planned by the Kirchhörde, Friedrich and Argus collieries.
The other years
In 1857 the bottom of the tunnel was reached in the Reinbach shaft at a depth of 22 m (+ 138 m NN ). 1. The sole was measured at a shallow depth of 110 meters, this corresponds seigeren , set a depth of 106 meters (+ 54 m NN). In the same year, work began on digging the shaft deeper from the bottom of the Joest Erbstollen . In the following year, the digging of the shaft was stopped at a depth of 65 meters below the bottom of the tunnel and the building bottom was added. On November 17, 1858, the Argus Beilehn quarter field was awarded for the mining of hard coal. In 1859 the second level was set in the Reinbach shaft at a shallower depth of 201 meters (-41 m above sea level). In 1863 the Reinbach shaft was sunk deeper again and in 1865 reached a deeper depth of 305 meters (- 145 m above sea level), the third level was set. In 1870 the Reinbach shaft was deepened again. In 1872 the 4th level was set and at a shallower depth of 367 meters (406 meters shallow) the deepening was stopped. On October 16, 1877, the Argus colliery was acquired by the Gottessegen colliery , while the Reinbach mine was taken over by the Josua ore mine. The Reinbach shaft was renamed the Gottessegen 1 shaft and was still in production until 1894.
Promotion and workforce
The first funding and workforce figures date from 1855, with 41 miners in 1833 ¾ Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1867, 4,332 tons of hard coal and an unquantified amount of iron ore were mined. In 1870 the production increased slightly to 4447 tons of hard coal, in addition again iron ore in an undisclosed amount. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1875, with eleven miners 3786 tons of hard coal and again an unquantified amount of iron ore were extracted.
