history
Beginnings as Gartfeldische Kohlgruben
The Gartfeldische Kohlgruben in Steele were also just called the Gartfeldische and were located behind Möckerhoffs Sypen. The mine is probably identical to the Steeler Kohlenberg colliery. The beginnings of this mine are already in the year 1645. On June 24 of the year 1645 which was Mutschein for entrepreneurs Henrich whether the Locht and Ludger Aldthoff and his associates issued. Permission to work on the Kohlberg was granted by the first mining foreman in the county of Mark, Diedrich von Diest. On May 24, 1646 a courtesy certificate was issued for Johan Hugo von Schueren and Herr zu Horst, later other trades were added, but the composition of the trade union changed several times. The trades were briefly called "The Gartfeldische". This first "Kohlberg", which the trades worked on on the outskirts of Essen-Steele, was called Gartfeldischer Bergbau. On December 14, 1647, after the inspection, it was enfeoffed by Diedrich von Diest. At least one tunnel and one shaft were present in the mortgage lending, and a seam in the area of today's Kanarienberg road was already open. On September 13, 1649, the trades were asked to pay the tithe, the mine was in operation at that time. The exact time of the shutdown is not known. From 1724 onwards, the Bongerbank colliery continued to mine the mine.
Operation as a bongerbank
Despite the almost fifty-year history of the mine, little is known about the Bongerbank colliery . On December 15, 1724, the "Dicke Bongerbank " pit field was awarded , and the mine then went into operation. In the years 1737, 1738, 1749 to 1751, 1758, 1759, 1761 to 1763, 1768, 1769 and 1772 the mine was demonstrably in operation. In the years 1749 to 1751, the mine probably belonged to the Kohlberg an der Glashütte colliery, as both mines had a common operating account during this period. In the years 1761 to 1763 the Bongerbank colliery gave up its yield . In 1772 coal was delivered to Kleve via the Ruhr. Already before 1774 there was a merger with the Zeche Vierfußbank to form the Zeche Bongerbank & Vierfußbank. On July 15, 1784, the head of the Brandenburg Mining Authority District Freiherr vom Stein wanted to drive into the mine . As the mine was not in operation at the time, it was not visited. Vom Stein provided information on the condition and stockpiles of the mine in his protocol. He gave instructions to Obersteiger Bettermann to drive into the mine at a later date to check whether the mine workings were still usable.
Colliery four-foot bench
Little is known about the Vierfußbank colliery in Steele either . On December 15, the ceremony which took place Berechtsame , then the mine went into operation. In the years 1749 to 1751, the operations accounting was carried out jointly with the Kohlberg colliery at the glassworks , presumably both mines belonged together at that time. Already before 1774 there was a merger with the Zeche Bongerbank to form the Zeche Bongerbank & Vierfußbank.
Operation as a bongerbank & four-legged bench
The Bongerbank & Vierfußbank colliery was also known under the name of Zeche Dicke Bongerbank & Vierfußbank and was created before 1774 from the merger of the two independent collieries, Bongerbank and Vierfußbank. On December 15, 1774, a length field was awarded , after which mining was carried out. There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1781. In 1782 it was shut down as the coal supplies were depleted. In 1827 consolidated the bill with other Berechtsamen to mine unity.

Remarks
- ↑ Very little is known about the Steeler Kohlenberg colliery in Steele. The colliery was in operation around 1655. The colliery was probably operated by the Gartfeldischen Kohlgruben. At this colliery one finds the first indication of the granting of deputatized coal , because the miners were allowed to take home a piece of hard coal for the house fire every evening at this colliery .

- ↑ The name Kohlberg is an old name for a hard coal mine. These mines at that time were usually small tunnel operations . (Source: Tilo Cramm, Joachim Huske: Miners' language in the Ruhr area. )
