The Bommerbänker Erbstolln colliery was a mine in Bommern . The colliery was originally also called Alter Bommerbänker Erbstolln or Altebommerbänker Erbstolln . The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the Schlebusch jury area .
business
A first application to excavate the Erbstollen from January 30, 1790 was initially rejected by the mining authority. On April 30th of the same year the award of the Erbstollen fairness and the length field took place . In 1798 the development of the Erbstollen to solve the collieries Alte Bommersbank , Helene Gertrud , Cronenbank and Vereinigte Tulipan was finally approved. In the same year, the excavation of the Erbstollen began, the tunnel mouth hole was set on the Ruhr in the area of the road "Auf der Bleiche". With a height of 84 meters above sea level, it was about 15 puddles lower than the level of the Alte Bommersbank colliery and 2 puddles above the Ruhr flood. The tunnel was driven south. In 1799 the length of the Erbstollen was 46 Lachter. In the same year coal mining began.
From the year 1800 the excavation and curvature of the tunnel, after which the tunnel was often deferred. From 1805 further excavation and removal of the Alte Bommersbank colliery . In 1810 there was no dismantling , only repair work was carried out. In 1811 dismantling was resumed. In 1815, which was Göpel Schacht Fortuna in Westfeld geteuft now promoting, together with the in-Ostfeld Zeche Helene Gertrud provided. In 1818 another Göpel shaft, the Juliana shaft , was sunk. From 1819 on, the mining began through this shaft. In 1827 the tunnel was driven to the west again. In 1831 the mine was mentioned in the documents as an important historical tunnel. Further tunneling between 1832 and 1835.
From 1840 excavation in the Rosa field with subsequent solution of the United Tulipan , Cronenbank , Helene Gertrud , Glückstern and Fortuna collieries . The length of the tunnel was now 480 meters. In the years 1843 and 1845, the mine was again carried out underground with only a few miners. On October 30, 1847, the Längenfeld Bommerbänker Erbstollen No. 2 was awarded . Again only maintenance work in 1850. In 1855 there was renewed dismantling and extraction via a conveyor shaft with a reel conveyor and a depth of 22 puddles. There were two seams with different thicknesses in Verhieb taken. One of the seams ranged in thickness between 48 and 56 inches and the other between 20 and 26 inches. In 1861, the coal reserves were mined above the bottom of the Erbstollen . The total length of the tunnel including all wing locations was now 5 kilometers. On May 20, 1862, the consolidation took place below the St. Johannes Erbstollen sole to form the United Bommersbänker Tiefbau colliery . The Bommerbänker Erbstolln colliery was closed around 1865.
In 1870 the tunnel was partially broken due to a lack of maintenance. As a result, the Tulipan colliery ran into water problems and considerable work was required. When the Tulipan colliery was closed in 1880, the Erbstollen lost its importance and was abandoned.
Promotion and workforce
The first workforce figures are known for 1800, when four miners work on the mine. The first production figures come from the year 1830, 1,191 tons of hard coal were produced. In 1835 the production fell to 21,236 bushels , which corresponds to 1,168 tons. In 1840 production rose again to 21,644 bushels (1,190 tons). In 1845, between one and six miners were working on the mine to maintain it. In 1847 only two miners were employed at the mine. The last workforce and production figures are known from 1855, six miners produced 3993½ tons of Prussian hard coal.
