The Aufgottgewagen colliery was a mine in Bommern -Hardenstein. It was located on a hillside east of the castle ruins Hardenstein and built by the Ruhr valley by tunneling into the Hard Steiner trough.
history
The beginnings
Several tunnels, one above the other, were already in operation in 1750 . The mining was carried out in a severely disturbed seam in two wings (north wing and south wing) and was then out of order for several years. On August 21, 1774, two length fields were awarded and then put back into operation. The mining rights were awarded to the union Aufgottgewage. The union is now building over a tunnel in the seam Mausegatt . Since the field in this area was severely disturbed due to the saddle, mining activities were often suspended for several years. When the Frielinghaus colliery wanted to set up daily operations in the east at the beginning of the 19th century, the Aufgottgewagt trades referred to their old rights. This led to a long-running legal battle. From April 1, 1826, an old tunnel was cleared . On September 12, 1827, an agreement was held in which the trades of the two mines took part. Due to the conversation, the operation could take place, but the dispute was not yet resolved.
The other years
From 1828 little mining was carried out in the mine, the extraction took place through a tunnel north of the Hardenstein castle ruins on the Ruhr Valley Railway to the Ruhr . In the following years the mine was in operation until 1831. On March 25, 1832, a merger (no consolidation ) into Sankt Johannes Erbstollen & Frielinghaus Tiefbau took place in the area of the south wing . On April 25 of the same year , the north wing was partially united to United Eleonore & Nightingale for the purpose of civil engineering . Again, there was no consolidation, but both mines remained independent. However, they brought their coals through a common shaft . Above the Sankt Johannes Erbstollen sole we continued to mine. In 1836 the dismantling took place in the joint civil engineering of the United Eleonore & Nightingale . Two years later, mining in a contested field. On January 9, 1839, the north wing was consolidated into the United Nightingale & Aufgottgewagen . The superstructure of the Aufgottgewagen tunnel was shut down and only the underground work on the Neptun shaft took place. In 1840 the dispute with the Frielinghaus trades was settled. In the same year, part of the field was consolidated into United Peace. In 1853, the consolidation with four neighboring mines was planned, the reason for this measure was the joint transition to civil engineering . In 1857, the successor company, the Aufgottgewagt Louischen colliery, was established and closed at the end of the 19th century.
Workforce and Promotion
In 1828 there were eight miners on the mine. The first production figures are given for the year 1830, in which 1331 tons of hard coal were produced. Two years later, 57,710 bushels , equivalent to 3,174 tons, were extracted. In 1835 production rose to 87,070 bushels (4789 t). When mining began in joint civil engineering, a total of 24,146 Prussian tonnes (6,157 t) were extracted in 1836 . 18,077 Prussian tons were accounted for by tunnel operations and 6,069 Prussian tons for civil engineering. In 1838, 33 miners extracted 17,732 Prussian tons (4,038 t). In 1840 the production rose to 31,428 Prussian tons (8,015 t). The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1843 with a total of 159,524 bushels (10,369 t). In 1845 production fell to 116,408 bushels (7,567 t). This funding was provided with 32 miners, whereby the workforce fell this year temporarily to 25 miners. The last production figures of the mine are known for the year 1849, 7,938 bushels (516 t) were produced. No funding figures are known for the successor company.
