The Bride colliery in Fleckessiepen is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Heidhausen . The mine was also known as the Zeche Braut in Fleckensiepen . Although it was in operation for over 100 years, little is known about the mine.
Mining history
The concession was granted on October 3, 1778 by the Abbot of Werden . The mine then went into operation. Since nothing is to be found in the mining authority books between 1804 and 1806 , it can be assumed that it was out of order during this time. In 1807, however, it was restarted. In addition, an old stretch of the bridal bench seam was cleared . In 1808 old manholes were renovated . In 1811, shaft 1 was sunk and a small amount of mining was carried out. In 1813 the Charlotte shaft was sunk. In 1820, the Dorothea shaft , which took several tons, was excavated at a shallow depth of 35 puddles . In 1823 the mining took place at the Wilhelm shaft and in 1832 at the Dorothea shaft, after which the mine was no longer mentioned in the books for 21 years. From 1853 onwards there was little mining again. In 1854, the mine was fully operational again, and the authorized persons were limited to the Dickebank seam above the tunnel floor. The seams below the bottom of the tunnel belonged to the Pauline colliery . In 1856, mining began in a field operated jointly with the Richradt colliery . In the 3rd quarter of 1857 another shutdown took place due to unprofitability. In 1871 the mine was put back into operation; a barrel-length shaft was sunk. In 1879, the coal reserves above the bottom of the tunnel were depleted. The mine has now been closed for good. In 1895 the right was acquired by the Pauline colliery, but both mines were still run individually. In 1900 it was finally taken over by the Pauline mine.
Promotion and workforce
The first workforce figures are known for 1823, when twelve miners were working on the mine. The first production figures come from the same year, 3,420 bushels of hard coal were produced . In 1830 the workforce increased to 23 miners and the production to 138,297 bushels. In 1871, 21 miners extracted 2,224 tons of hard coal. The last figures are known from the year 1873, a total of 21,793 tons were extracted with 30 miners.
