The Bruchkamp colliery was also known under the names of Colliery Bruchkampsbank, Colliery Broichkamp and Colliery Rosendelle. In 1789 the commissioning took place under the name Zeche Broichkamp. In 1803, the legal rights included 1 Längenfeld . In the years 1805 and 1806 mining was carried out, the mining took place in open-day operation 1. From March 1812 the mine was renamed to Zeche Steinknapp, Bruchkamp & Junge Zwerg and from 1815 it was again run under the old name. From November 1822, the consolidation with the Steinknapp colliery to the Bruchkamp & Steinknapp colliery took place .

The mine was also known under the name Zeche Steinknappe or Zeche Steinknappen and was in operation from the end of the 18th century. The coal was mined in the Kreftenscheer seam . In 1802 the mine achieved the highest production in the Essen-Werden mining district . 430 bushels of coal were mined per day. In 1805 the mine was dismantled at open-day operation 1. From March 1812 the mine was renamed to Zeche Steinknapp, Bruchkamp & Junge Zwerg and from 1815 it was again run under its old name. Between the years 1815 to 1820, coal mining continued at the mine. In 1822 it was consolidated with the Bruchkamp colliery to form the Bruchkamp & Steinknapp colliery .

The mine was also known as the Zeche Jungzwerg and was in operation from 1800. The tunnel was located on the Ruhr near the later Carl Funke colliery . In 1805 the tunnel was further excavated, in the following year further excavation and from December the mine was put into deadlines . In 1812, light hole 1 was created and in March 1812 the mine was renamed to Zeche Steinknapp, Bruchkamp & Junge Zwerg .

Steinknapp, Bruchkamp & Junge Zwerg

The Steinknapp, Bruchkamp & Junge Zwerg colliery was established in March 1812 from the consolidation of the Steinknapp, Bruchkamp and Junge Zwerg collieries. The mine comprised the daytime operations of Bruchkamp 2 and 3 as well as the Jungzwerg tunnel with shaft 1 and the Steinknapp tunnel. The mine was in operation in 1813 but was no longer mentioned in the files of the mining authority. In 1815 the mine was separated again.

Bruchkamp & Steinknapp

In November 1789 a length field was enfeoffed. In November 1822 the Bruchkamp & Steinknapp colliery emerged from the consolidation of the Bruchkamp and Steinknapp collieries. The dismantling began in 1825. The first production figures are known for the following year, 199,376 bushels of hard coal were produced. In 1830, 45 miners extracted 166,884 bushels. In 1831 it became known that the coal reserves above the bottom of the tunnel will only last for a few years. In 1834 the workforce dropped to 41 miners. In 1836, 34,108 Prussian tons of hard coal were extracted, after which the mine sank. In 1839 the union renewed its courage in the deepest seam . In 1840 25,412 tons were extracted. In the following year, the coal reserves above the bottom of the tunnel were depleted and the mine was shut down. In 1870 the mine field was taken over by the United Hundsnocken colliery.
