The Blumenthal colliery is a former hard coal mine in Dortmund-Berghofen . The mine was also known under the name Zeche Blumendahl .
history
The beginnings
In 1754 the pit field was surveyed , after which the concession was granted to Christian Vahlefeld (called Palcken). A cross-cutting tunnel was set up in the same year . In 1755 the mine was in operation with two miners . After the adit had been driven for several years , the seam was reached in 1760 after a driving length of 150 feet . The coal bank, exposed on March 21, was one foot and eight units thick . The trades intended to put in a courage for the coal bank and apply for the lending. A little later, on March 27, the expectation was given to the bared coal bank under the name Blumenthaler Nebenbank. Christian Palcken and Mathias Schmitt acted as mother. The trades applied for a mine field the size of a treasure trove and three dimensions . On March 31 of the same year a length field was awarded . Both trades were half involved in the mine ownership.
The other years
In 1771 the mine was on time . The reason for this measure was the lack of coal sales. On April 15, the tradesman Christian Vahlefeld reported to the Mining Authority that he had suggested a coal bank a long time ago and that he had also opened a tunnel on this coal bank. However, all of his documents would have been lost during the war . The other trades have no interest in continuing the mine. Christian Vahlefeld intended to continue running the colliery as a sole trader. According to Christian Vahlefeld, the legal fees had been paid. On May 31, 1838, the Längenfeld was re-awarded. On February 3, 1847, the mine was put back into operation. The pit box was removed from the field Diederich out solved . First, an old shaft was cleared , then mining began. In 1855 the mine was still in operation independently. In 1899 the mine of the United Bickefeld civil engineering colliery was closed.
