The Buschbank colliery is a former hard coal mine in Sprockhövel - Obersprockhövel . The mine was also known under the names Zeche Buschbank & Nebenbank , Zeche Buschbank Altes Werk and Zeche Buschbank Nebenbank Altes Werk . The mine is the eastern continuation of the Hohen Bank. The Buschbank colliery was one of 19 Sprockhövel collieries, which were also known as Crone'sches Revier.
history
The beginnings
On 10 February 1687 was carried out ceremony of the length field Busch Bank & Bank side, the field was located west of the geological fault . On February 17th of the same year the Längenfeld Buschbank & Nebenbank east of the geological fault was awarded. The mine was in the Leckebuschfeld. The pit fields were awarded to the Heinrich Leckebusch trade . On October 7 the year 1739 were Berechtsame and the operating system awarded. The facility was located approx. 400 meters north of today's Wuppertaler Strasse on both sides of Nockenbergstrasse, near Sieper & Müller. The mine field bordered on the eastern marrow of the Friedrich Wilhelm colliery . Mining was carried out in the Hohebank seam (dirt bank). In this year of operation (1739) the mine was already expensive. Since the mine was charred, it was out of service in 1754 and 1755.
The further operation
In the years 1758 and 1759 the mine was demonstrably back in operation. From the year 1784 the mine was on the Christsieper Stolln solved . On July 14 of that year, the mine was by the head of the Brandenburg district mining office, the Baron von Stein traveled . At the time of the visit, a shaft was in operation on the mine . The shaft had a depth of 27 laughs . Vom Stein provided information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance of the miners employed there . Vom Stein particularly criticized the sometimes very different performances of the tusks . He instructed the head climber responsible to monitor such grievances more closely and to correct them with lower pay. The mine was still in operation in 1786, when two women were employed as reel pullers , which is actually unusual for mining. In 1796, shafts 16 (Johannes), 17 (Leckebusch) and 18 (Johann Caspers) were in operation at the mine . From this point on, the mine was part of the Obersteig Agats traffic area.
On April 8, 1797, the Buschbank Altes Werk construction site was put into operation. In 1800 the Ferdinand and Forelle pits on the Buschbank construction site were in operation. On January 31 the same year was begun the shaft Residium to sink , then the occurred loss at bay Residium. On February 3, the Buschbank & Altes Werk and Buschbank Nebenbank Altes Werk construction sites were closed. As of July 31, the mine was within deadlines . In January 1803, the excavation of a cross passage began on the Buschbank construction site . In June of the same year, mining began again on the Buschbank Nebenbank Altes Werk construction site, which was mined via the Residium shaft. In 1804 the Amalie shaft was being mined on the Buschbank construction site, and mining began on the Buschbank Nebenbank construction site. The bushbank side bank of the same name, which was present in the Buschbank side bank field, was a bad seam. The coal in the Buschbank side bank seam was only mined to replenish the supplies from the other seam. The Buschbank Nebenbank Altes Werk construction site was closed again in the course of the year. A year later, the Buschbank construction site was out of order, it was only promoted on the Buschbank Nebenbank.
The Hähner mine on the Buschbank construction site went into operation in 1810 and the Regina mine in 1815. In the 3rd quarter of 1820, the Buschbank Nebenbank construction site was closed after the coal had been extracted from the Christsieper tunnel sole. In 1826 the solution came from the Herzkämper Erbstollen . In 1827 the Buschbank construction site was put back into operation, and together with the Sieper & Mühler company , the Hope shaft was sunk. The breakthrough of the Hope Shaft with Christsieper Erbstollenort and the underlying wing location of Buschbank Nebenbank took place in 1828. In the years that followed, various shafts were alternately in operation. In 1830 it was conveyed through the Heinrich shaft, in 1835 through the Peter shaft and in 1840 through the Peter and Caspar shafts. Shaft Caspar was a barrel-length shaft with a depth of 91 meters, Schacht Peter was a shaft that was initially about 40 meters deep and then 30 meters long . Another survey was carried out on October 13th . Experimental work began in 1844. The Rudolph shaft was in production from 1845 to 1847, and in 1845 also for the Nebenbuschbank construction site. There is evidence that the mine was still in operation until 1850.
The last few years
After 1850 the mine was out of operation for a few years and was reopened in 1855. The mining took place via the Heinrich shaft of the Glückauf colliery . 1860, the reduction was in the seam Busch bank side bank. At the end of 1861 the mine was again out of service and briefly back in operation from 1863. On August 28, 1865, was carried out consolidation of Busch Bank and by-Busch bank with the mine Glückauf.
Promotion and workforce
The first workforce figures are known from the year 1784, in that year two tusks and one tractor were employed on the mine. In 1800 there were eleven miners working on the mine . The first production figures come from 1805, 9503 ringlets , that is 713 tons, were extracted from hard coal . In 1808 production fell to 9193 rings (639 tons). In 1830 the production amounted to 932 tons, it rose in 1835 to 1057 tons. In the following year, 2744 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1839 the maximum production of the mine was achieved with 2378 tons. A year later, production fell to 1772 tons. In 1845, nine miners extracted 1,079 tons of hard coal. In 1850, nine miners extracted 1,688 tons. The last production figures and workforce figures are from 1860. In that year, 24 miners extracted 4,198 tons of hard coal.
Current condition
Today the pit of the former Buschbank colliery is part of the Herzkämper Mulde Weg . There are still several pings in the pit of the former colliery . Some of them date from a time when coal mining was operated in the mine field .
