The Bunte Kuh colliery is a former hard coal mine in Schüren , Germany. The mine emerged from the Alte Bunte Kuh colliery and was also known as the Bunte Kuh colliery on the Schürenberg .

history

The tunnel mouth hole of the predecessor mine was on the Emscher on Schuerberg above the Hellenbancker tunnel. This previous mine, the old colorful cow colliery, was in operation from 1720 to 1739. It had a tunnel and two shafts . After the previous mine had not been operated for several decades, Friedrich Hoz zu Hörde applied to the mining authorities on August 30, 1763 for a dismantling permit for the dormant mine. Hoz intended to re-attack the coal bank behind a fault . According to him, the operation would be worthwhile again. In particular, due to the proximity to stoke, wages would be low. The mining authority commissioned the mountain jury Brenner and Spoerer with the inspection . The inspection took place on September 22nd of the same year. According to the report of the two mountain jury, the tunnel had fallen into disrepair and had to be cleared before it could start operating . According to the mountain jury, the costs for the necessary work were not insignificant. They gave instructions not to start work until after the inspection . The mine was visited on November 7th of the same year. Here was the trades agreed Hoz that he first the seam erschürfen should. Then Hoz should work up the old Akeldruft again in order to then be able to dismantle the remaining good coals behind the disturbance . On January 7th, 1764, an agreement was reached with the trades of the Hellenbank colliery so that no further obstacles stood in the way of operation. In 1771 prospecting work was carried out first. Up until April 27 of the same year, the prospecting had been unsuccessful. Although Friedrich Hoz and consorts planned to continue mining, the shares should only be divided up after successful mining. The Bunte Kuh colliery was closed in the current year 1771. In the year 1772 a new mutation was inserted under the name Eleonore .
