The United Bride colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Heidhausen . This colliery emerged from the consolidation of the bridal collieries in Küpperswiese and Stephanie and was known for some time after 1866 as the colliery bride in Küpperswiese . The mine was located near the Heidhausen fire station.
history
The predecessor mines
Little has been reported about the first predecessor mine, the Bridal Colliery in Essen-Heidhausen. At times it was also run under the name of Zeche Praut or under the name of Zeche Brautbank in Peperbeck . In 1802 54 ringlets, that is 4.1 tons, of hard coal were extracted from the mine every day . There is evidence that the colliery was still in operation in 1803. In 1866 it was consolidated into the United Bride colliery. Very little is known about the Stephanie mine either . In 1855 the mine was in legal dispute with the Bridal colliery in Küpperswiese. The mine was in operation before 1866, the tunnel mouth hole was in the area of Velberter Straße / Kathagen. Consolidation took place in 1866.
The time as a bride in Küpperswiese
The bride colliery in Küpperswiese was founded in 1825. The rightful encompassed a length field . It was also known as the Küpperswiese colliery. In 1826 an old tunnel was cleared, the tunnel mouth hole was between Barkhorstrücken and Kotthaushang. In 1830 a total of 12,245 bushels of hard coal were mined. In 1834 the dismantling of the Lisette shaft took place . In 1836 the total production was 13,066 3/4 Prussian tons . In 1840 the production sank to 12,840 Prussian tons. The mine was still in operation from 1853 to 1857. The mine was loosened by the Schwarze-Adler-Erbstollen . At that time the mine belonged to the Essen Mining Authority. From 1855 the Hattig and Redlichkeit collieries also belonged to the property , in the same year there was a legal dispute with the Stephanie colliery. In 1858, the mining took place in a shaft that took several tons. The first workforce figures are known from this year, 40 miners worked on the mine. A year later took place ceremony of a new length field. In 1861, the sinking work began on the Dorothea shaft, which took several tons. In the same year, the shaft was sunk to a depth of eleven peaks . In the further course of this this shaft was sunk into the Geitling seam and was planned as a transition to civil engineering below the Pauliner Erbstollen sole. This year, 30 miners extracted 27,066 Prussian tons of coal. At that time the mine was part of the Werden mining district . In the following year, the shaft was sunk down to a shallow depth of 80 puddles below the Pauliner tunnel floor. The main foundation excavation level was set at this depth. The Saarnsbank and Bänksgen seams were to be opened up by means of this base. The civil engineering was commissioned from 1865. In the same year, a dewatering machine was installed in order to be able to throw off the dewatering by means of water tanks . However, the installation of the pump sets was not finished by the end of the year. In the following year, it was consolidated into the United Bride colliery.
The years as a United Bride
After consolidation in 1866, the United Bride colliery had a tunnel and the Dorothea shaft, which took several tons. The shaft was down to the seam Geitling geteuft . The rightful encompassed a length field. The Mulde was dismantled in the north wing. In 1867, 43 miners extracted a total of 7,735 tons of hard coal on the 80 Lachter deep underground excavation. In 1870 the workforce fell to 39 miners and production rose to 8,374 tons. In 1873 the mine employed 50 miners. This year the mine had the highest output of 12,488 tons. In 1877 the workforce sank to 34 miners and production fell to 6,184 tons. In 1880 the workforce decreased again to 28 miners, the production totaled 7,533 tons. In March 1883, the main bed sank and had to be swamped . In 1885, the workforce fell again to 21 miners; the production fell to 4,620 tons. Towards the end of the 1880s, another barrel-length shaft was sunk. This shaft was sunk in rapid-fire seams and was used for mining above the bottom of the tunnel. In 1888 the mine had two tonnage shafts, 1,962 tonnes were extracted with 19 miners. In the following year only dewatering work was carried out due to the strong water inflow, so the mine was put in deadlines . In 1892 the mine was acquired by the Pauline colliery , but it still remained independent. In 1900 the final takeover by the Pauline colliery took place.
