history
Composition of the mine
The Borbachtal colliery was established as a company-owned mine of the Heinrich Buddenhorn-Sohn company in 1945. Actually, there were several more or less separate mines that had no connection with each other, as they were partly further apart. First of all, there was the actual “Borbachtal” mine on the “Große Borbach” road. There was also a tunnel in Siepen in Stockum , a tunnel on Wartenberg not far from the so-called "Kohlesiepen" and a tunnel on Langestrasse. In addition, there was later a small mine in the pit of the former Ringeltaube colliery in Düren , which later operated as "Ringeltaube II". The individual parts of the company were located in different mine fields. The actual Borbachtal colliery was dismantled in the field of the disused Bergmann colliery. The other parts of the business were located in leased field parts of Bochumer Bergbau AG and Harpener Bergbau-AG and dismantled there.
The operation
Mine operations began in October 1945 with the start of tunnel construction in Witten. First of all, all mine workings were cleared . Excluded from this measure were the underground workings . On March 1, 1946, the miners' insurance of the mine began. Initially, the Borbachtal coal mine and the tunnel in Witten were in operation. In 1952 the tunnel in Stockum and the actual Borbachtal facility were closed. In the same year, the tunnels on Wartenberg and Langestrasse went into operation. Towards the end of 1954, the Heinrich Buddenhorn-Sohn company started operating the Ringeltaube 2 small mine in Witten-Düren. Despite the affiliation, the mine continued to operate independently. In 1956 the tunnel in Stockum was closed. On May 14 of 1962 the mine was shut down Borbachtal that Berechtsame was the colliery Good Hope V slammed shut. The Ringeltaube II part of the business remained independent until the early 1970s.
Promotion and workforce
The first production and workforce figures for the mine come from 1948, in that year 24 miners were employed at the Borbachtal colliery, who produced 1524 tonnes of hard coal . In 1950 around 6000 tons of edible coal and lean coal were mined. The workforce this year was 35 employees. In 1955, a total of 126 people were employed at these three plants, which together produced 35,636 tons of hard coal. In 1956 the maximum production of the mine was achieved. With 134 employees, 38,676 tons of lean coal were mined. The last mining and workforce figures for the mine are from 1960; in that year, 134 employees produced 11,178 tonnes of hard coal.
Current condition
The buildings of the actual “Kleinzeche Borbachtal” on the “Große Borbach” street are still partially preserved. They are also entered in the Falk City Atlas Greater Rhine-Ruhr Area as the "former Borbachtal colliery".
