The Baaker Mulde colliery was a hard coal mine in Bochum- Linden. The colliery was created through the consolidation of three previously independent tunnels. The union of the Baaker Mulde colliery was one of the founding members of the Rheinisch-Westphalian coal syndicate .
history
The beginnings
On February 24, 1869, an agreement was made to unite the three collieries, United Dickebaeckerbank & Anna Catharina , Johann Friederich and St. Mathias Erbstollen . On December 12th of the following year, the owners of the three mines below the bottom of the St. Mathias Erbstollen were consolidated . In the course of this consolidation, the "Baaker Mulde" union was founded. The union issued 1000 Kuxe when it was founded. In the same year the Johann Friedrich shaft was renamed the Baaker Mulde shaft. The pit was already in 1855 by Johann Friederich geteuft and had been in 1860 promoting gone.
The first years of operation
The mine went into operation in 1871. In 1875 the fields Baaker Mulde II and Baaker Mulde III were awarded . In 1880, the shaft Baaker trough in height of the sole 1 was at a depth of 61 meters (+ 31 m NN ) to break . The shaft was filled and re-sunk. In the following year, the second level was put back into operation. This bottom was at a depth of 129 meters (- 38 m above sea level). In 1882 the sinking work was continued and the shaft was sunk deeper. In 1883 the 3rd level was set at a depth of 225 meters (- 132 m above sea level). In the same year began, 1,100 meters east of the bay Baaker dump a new shaft to be set . The shaft was sunk over several tons and was intended to serve as a weather shaft for the mine .
Further expansion and operation
In 1884 the mine broke through with the Brockhauser Tiefbau colliery . In the same year, the new weather shaft with the 2nd level penetrated. On November 7th, 1888, there was a firedamp explosion at the mine , killing three miners . In 1892, the mine was reduced. In 1894 the mine received a standard gauge railway connection to the Dahlhausen station of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME). A 350 meter long tunnel was created for this. Until then, the coal was transported via a horse-drawn tugboat that led from the Dahlhausen – Weitmar route of the BME to the Ruhr. A briquette factory was put into operation in October of the same year . In 1896, the sinking work on the Baaker Mulde shaft was resumed and the shaft was sunk deeper. In the same year, the 4th level was set at a depth of 324 meters (- 232 m above sea level). In the following year, the filling location and a machine chamber were created on the 4th level , and the further alignment of the 4th level was continued. In the same year, the ton-long weather shaft was sunk deeper to the third level. A field swap with the United Dahlhauser Tiefbau colliery was also carried out. Part of the field was given up by Johann Friederich and part by Freudenberg. The rightful now comprised a square and a length field . At that time the mine belonged to the Hattingen mining area . In 1898 the ventilation of the mine workings was switched from weather furnaces to mine fans . At this time were in the mine nine seams with a thickness of up to 2.5 meters in Verhieb . Among other things, the mine built in the seams Großebank, Sonnenschein, Anna Catharina, Röttgersbank, Joseph, Nöckersbank and Silberbank.
The last few years until the shutdown
In 1899 the Peaceful Neighbor union took over the Baaker Mulde union. In the same year, the Peaceful Neighbors union began to sink the Friedlicher Nachbar 2 shaft on the eastern divide of the Baaker Mulde field. This resulted in the unification of Peaceful Neighbor / Baaker Mulde. Both mines initially retained their own production. However, the mine director of Friedlicher Nachbar also became the mine director of the Baaker Mulde part of the business. In 1902 the barrel-length weather shaft was thrown off . The evacuation of the weather took place from now on through the shaft Peaceful Neighbor 1. The ton-long weather shaft was filled in the same year . Coal was now extracted from the Baaker Mulde construction site via the conveyor shaft from Friedlicher Nachbar. In 1904 the Baaker Mulde colliery was completely transferred to the Peaceful Neighbor colliery . In the same year the mine became the property of the German-Luxembourgish Mining and Hütten-AG . There was also a connection with the Bochum Dannenbaum colliery, which was already part of Deutsch-Lux . The aim of these associations was to create a vertically integrated mining group. The mine was called the Zeche Friedlicher Nachbar / Baaker Mulde until 1925 .
Promotion and workforce
Good quality coal was extracted from the mine and the coal was very suitable for machine firing. The first production and workforce figures for the mine come from 1871, in that year, with 343 employees, 89,266 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1875 the production rose to 105,999 tons of hard coal and the workforce was 505. In 1880 the production sank to 35,333 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 331 employees. In 1885, the production was 153,000 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 515 employees. In 1890, 148,576 tons of hard coal were mined with 580 employees. In 1895, the production was 141,904 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 573 employees. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1897. This year, 166,100 tons of hard coal were mined with 661 employees. In 1900 there were 701 employees in the mine, 130,160 tons of hard coal were extracted. These are the last known production and workforce figures for the Baaker Mulde colliery as an independently producing mine.
Trivia
The firedamp explosion of November 7, 1888 was not the only fatal accident on Baaker Mulde. This prompted the working-class poet Heinrich Kämpchen to dedicate his own poem to the "unlucky mine " , in which he called on the mine owners to finally take protective measures.
