The Catharina colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Burgaltendorf . The mine was also known as the Zeche Catharine or Zeche Catarina and was already in operation in 1766. The rightful ran on the north side parallel to today's Deipenbecktal road, the deep tunnel was located south of today's valley road.
Mining history
The mine was built around 1750. The mine was already in operation before 1776 and tunnel construction was in progress . On November 1, 1776, Catharina was awarded the length field . After 1776 it was probably shut down for some time because it was put back into operation in 1783. In 1809, shaft 5 was in production. In 1811, the part which was Berechtsame which is below the lug sole was at the colliery Catharina assigned. In 1815 mining continued and from 1820 the mine was set in time limits . In July 1834 it was put back into operation after the solution had previously been made by the Himmelsfürster Erbstollen . A tunnel was excavated and mining was carried out again. The mine was closed on February 9, 1836. From 1837 the mine was back in operation, but it was only operated for orientation . Alignment continued in the following year and, from the summer onwards, reduced dismantling. On August 28 of the same year, Catharina II was awarded the length field. On March 31, 1840, the excavated tunnel reached a length of 527 laughs . In November 1843 the mine was closed again. On February 8th and October 14th, 1855, the consolidation to the Altendorf Tiefbau colliery took place under the Himmelsfürster Erbstollen Sole . From 1879 the mine was out of order.
In 1903 the exploration took place from Altendorf Tiefbau. On September 1st of the same year the plant was restarted. The rights holders comprised two length fields within the Geviertfelder Steingatt and Altendorf, the tunnel mouth hole was on the Ruhr. The construction site was 900 meters stroking and 160 meters querschlägig. It had a flat construction height of 112 meters and had two tunnels as well as two day peaks. In 1905 two tonnage shafts were in operation. One shaft had a deeper depth of 46 meters (85 meters shallow), the other had a deeper depth of 62 meters (112 meters shallow). The weather bed was twelve meters deep, the building floor was 46 meters. In the following year, the water drainage at Altendorf Tiefbau colliery was replaced by its own drainage system. In 1907, the second building base was set at a depth of 62 meters. The weather was partly carried out via the old Rochussen shaft of the Altendorf civil engineering colliery, and there were several weather surges after the surface. In 1908 it was consolidated with the United Catharina colliery, until January 1917 it was dismantled under this name. In 1926 it was reopened under the name Zeche Catharina. The final shutdown took place on February 1, 1927.
Promotion and workforce
The first workforce dates from 1834; five miners were employed in the mine. The first production figures come from the year 1836, 310 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 the production was 127½ Prussian tons. In 1843 32,913 bushels , that is 1,810 tons, were extracted from hard coal. In 1903, 22 miners extracted 3,130 tons. In 1905 the production rose to almost 41,000 tons. This promotion was provided with 182 miners. The maximum production was achieved in 1907 with 219 miners. 52,213 tons of hard coal were mined. The last figures are from 1926, with four miners 979 tons were extracted.
