The bill Beeckerwerth was a coal - mine in Duisburg .
history
In 1867, unsuspected , the Union of German Emperor an extensive field heritage based in the area of today eingemeindeten Duisburg places Hamborn , Beeck , Marxloh and Walsum .
The mine fields were divided into the "Hamborn", "Rhein" and "Neumühl" unions . At the beginning of the 20th century, plans were made to build an independent mine in a vacant western field of the Hamborn union .
In 1916, the sinking of shaft 1 of the Beeckerwerth colliery began . The name was given from the arch of the Rhine north of Beeck, in which the mine was located. At the same time, the construction of the factory settlement began. Due to the events of the First World War , the work had to be interrupted several times.
Shaft 1 reached its final depth in 1924 and could be put into operation. In order to be able to guarantee both cable travel and coal extraction on a broad basis, the shaft was provided with a double extraction . In 1925, shaft 2 was added next to shaft 1, which should continue to take over the cable car and optimize weather management ; it was put into operation in 1929.
In 1926 the Beeckerwerth union was taken over by Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG (GBAG). Organizationally, the mine was assigned to its Hamborn group . This takeover brought about a group-wide realignment of the funding strategy in the Hamborner area.
For this reason, the Beeckerwerth colliery was assigned the task of mining the western part of the Thyssen mine fields. This led to the merger with the pit Friedrich Thyssen 3/7 in 1932. Schacht Thyssen 7 was kept open as Seilfahrt- and material shaft while shaft 3 as a pure air shaft with a small reel device as a replacement of the existing headframe was equipped.
From 1939 the mining of coal reserves under the Rhine was intensified, which led to increased mining costs with appropriate measures on the Rhine dykes.
After the Second World War that was mine Beeckerwerth the Hamborner mining AG assigned a part of the group Hamborn had taken the GBAG.
Shutdown
After the coal crisis began , the future prospect of the Beeckerwerth mine was reassessed by the operating company. Since in the meantime the own coal reserves were no longer economical and the north migration of the mining was not possible because of the adjacent collieries Walsum and Friedrich Thyssen 2/5 , the closure was ordered in 1963.
Todays use
The Beeckerwerth 1 and 2 and Thyssen 3 and 7 shafts were filled . The clearing of the daytime facilities took place relatively quickly, as the August-Thyssen-Hütte area was needed as an extension area for the new steel works.
The Beeckerwerth cold strip mill of ThyssenKrupp AG is located on the Beeckerwerth 1/2 site .
