history

The beginnings

In 1835, the carried presumption of Berechtsame . The assumption was made under the name Ernst . In 1837 the field was renamed Berneck. On October 2, 1850, was Langenfeld under the Berechtsamsnamen Berneck awarded . In 1889 work began on digging a seigeren shaft measuring 4.19 m × 2.36 m. The first floor was at a depth set of 23 meters. In addition, part of the field of the Dannenbaum colliery was leased.

The further operation

In 1890 was begun a tonnlägigen ventilation shaft to intersect. In the same year, the first shaft reached a depth of 50 meters, the second level was set, and extraction began. In the following year, 1891, the weather shaft reached a shallow depth of 72 meters. In 1893 the production shaft was sunk deeper and the third level was set at a depth of 117 meters. In 1894 the western part of the Christiansburg field was leased, the eastern part of the field was taken over by Julius Philipp colliery . The orientation of the field Christiansburg began 1895th In the course of the following years, further mine fields were acquired or muted.

In 1896 the production shaft was sunk deeper again and a manufacturing private coking plant was acquired. In that year the Bochum coke and coal works acquired the majority of the union’s Kuxe . In the following year, the fourth level was set in the shaft at a depth of 226 meters. A cable car for processing was built on the Dahlhausen-Langendreer railway line. In 1898, a mutation was introduced on the Berneck I square . Between 1899 and 1901, the Berneck II field created by the division of the Christiansburg field was acquired. The size of the rights holder was 1.1 km² and consisted of a length field and a square field. In 1900 the Glückswinkelburg colliery and the unscratched Leonhard and Leonhard II fields were acquired.

In 1901 the field Berneck II was finally bought by the Julius Philipp colliery . In the same year, Berneck I was granted the right to do so. On the 4th level, a cross passage was added as an auxiliary structure by the Julius Philipp colliery . This cross passage served to connect the fields Glückswinkelburg and Berneck. In 1903 the breakthrough took place with the Glückswinkelburg field, the cross passage had a length of 1,398 meters. However, no significant funding was provided from the Glückswinkelburg field. In the same year the mine became the property of the Bochum coke and coal works.

The last few years until the shutdown

In 1904, which was mine from the union acquired United Constantin the Great. In the same year, the first preparations for decommissioning were made, the one-ton weather shaft was filled and the Julius Philipp construction site was thrown off. After the buildable reserves were exhausted, the mine was shut down on January 1, 1905 due to strong water inflows. After the 4th level had been dammed against the Julius Philipp construction site , the shaft was filled. The daytime facilities were completely demolished and the Berneck I field was sold to the peaceful neighbor colliery . In 1910 the unscratched Leonhard and Leonhard II fields were sold to the Mansfeld colliery . In 1920 the Glückswinkelburg field was last sold to the Klosterbusch colliery .

Promotion and workforce

The first workforce and sponsorship figures are named for the year 1889. With 14 miners 66 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1890, 78 miners extracted 8,050 tons of hard coal. In 1895 the production rose to almost 92,000 tons of hard coal. This promotion was provided with 462 miners. In 1900 the production rose again to 110,135 tons, and the workforce rose to 537 miners. In 1903, the maximum production of the mine was achieved with 606 miners, it was 118,159 tons of hard coal. A year later, production fell to 108,780 tons. This last production of the mine was provided by 485 miners.
