The Carthäuserloch colliery is a former hard coal mine in Witten- Hardenstein. The mine was also known under the name Zeche Cartheuserloch , Zeche Carthenjeloch , Zeche Carteiserloch or Zeche Cartenjerloch and was in operation for over 100 years with interruptions. The mine was east of the Hardenstein castle ruins . The Pingenfeld colliery, which is located in the Hardenstein nature reserve today, is part of the Muttental mining trail .
history
The years as Carthäuserloch
The beginnings
On 8 February 1724 one was Langenfeld to the union Carthäuser hole awarded . Main trades was Melchior Georg Stölting, who as treasurer worked the house Hardenstein. The Stölting trade intended to rework a coal bank that had already been processed, which was located under the Niederste Berghaus and Hardensteiner farms. Since the previous Akeldruft there was now clogged, Stölting wanted to create a new Akeldruft for it. In addition, he wanted to work on another coal bank that was below the coal bank that was already being worked on. He wanted to work both coal banks in an easterly direction. After the award, the mine was initially in operation until 1749. The Carthäuser Loch union built on the Cartheuserloch coal seam of the same name . This seam lay in a hollow . The north wing was dismantled and the Reiger union built the south wing . From the year 1750 the mine was due to lack paragraph in deadlines set. On December 31, 1751, the Hagedorn brothers bought a quarter of the Falckenstein trade. Even in 1754 the mine was still on time. On November 12 of the same year, Falckenstein bought his share back from the Hagedorn brothers. In 1755 the mine was still on time. On July 23, 1768, Johann Große Heidmann bought a quarter of the share from the Diedrich Peter Hagedorn trade. On April 14, 1770, Heidmann sold an eighth share to Conrad Henrich Niederste Frielinghaus.
The other years
From 1771 the mine was demonstrably back in operation. In the meantime, the shares of mine ownership were distributed differently among several trades through donations and purchases. On February 26, 1771, Conrad Henrich Niederste Frielinghaus, Johann Diedrich Große Heidmann and the rent master Adolph Henrich Georg Falckenberg were registered in the records of the mining authority . The trades had a different number of kuxes . There was a dispute between the heirs of Falckenberg and Stölting over the ownership of 64 kuxes. Because of this dispute, a trial was brought before the mountain court . The legal fees had been paid by then. On June 29 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Carthäuserloch colliery was one of 63 mines that vom Stein visited on its journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. During the visit he found the mine in poor condition, and it was also inefficient.
After his inspection, he assessed the condition of the mine:
“ ... the whole mine construction and especially the extraction extremely crippled. "
Vom Stein gave information about the further condition of the mine in his protocol. According to the inspection report, there were two tunnels, of which the deeper one had already broken . The promotion was done by carts until the coal defeat , from where the coal was shipped over the Ruhr . Due to the poor condition of the mine workings , a cart runner could run a maximum of 15 times per shift. Vom Stein suggested making a survey of the mine building. As a result, so from the stone, a more precise picture of the colliery could be presented. Vom Stein was of the opinion that the promotion by trolleys should be replaced by a hunt promotion. In contrast to the mostly surrounding mines of the Hardensteiner Mulde, the pit was not drained through the St. Johannes Erbstollen . The promotion had to continue on tonnlägige bays are applied. It was not until the “Compagniestollen” ( association tunnel), which was excavated together with other mines in 1803 , that the mine received a deep water solution and an economical transport route. In addition, a 40 Lachter long towing track to the coal defeat on the Ruhr was built. From 1803 onwards, mining was carried out via the association tunnel, from 1807 onwards the mining was also carried out via opencast mining 1. In 1810 opencast farms 1 + 2 were in operation. The first known production figures date back to 1816, there were 33,618 Ringel coal promoted. In 1829 the mine was on time and the remaining coal from the defeat was sold. In January 1830 some residual coal was mined and 151 tons of coal were mined. Then the supplies were run down and the mine was shut down.
The time as a United Carthäuserloch & Morgenstern
Around 1840 the Carthauser Loch union was merged with the United Reiger colliery , but the mine was closed. Already before 1842 a settlement was reached regarding joint dismantling with the Morgenstern colliery to the west . The mining took place above the bottom of the tunnel , the mine was now called the United Carthäuserloch & Morgenstern colliery . The union of the United Carthäuserloch & Morgenstern colliery was not a consolidation . In 1845 the mine was again held in time limits and in 1846 the mine was back in operation.
Gutglück colliery
The Gutglück colliery had been in operation since 1748. 1795 was at 160 m above sea level. NN scheduled a tunnel that already in 1831 again dropped was.
Gutglück & Wrangel colliery
In 1884, the Längenfelds Carthäuserloch and Reiger , which had fallen into the mountain free , were re-awarded under the name Zeche Gut Glück & Wrangel . Late 19th century built -luck & Wrangel in gleaning mining of the old left standing safety pillars , and the sooner left lying silt.
