The Clarenberg colliery was a colliery in Hörde , which began operating as a tunnel mine in 1750 . The entrance hole was on the Emscher 500 m west of Horde, and the tunnel was 1,500 meters south to the area of Renninghausen promoted .

In 1831 the Seigere shaft “Meyer” was sunk, and in 1837 two steam engines were installed for extraction and dewatering . In 1840 the annual production was approx. 8,000 tons. 1845 was the colliery's most successful year, at that time it employed 144 people and 13,000 tons of coal were mined.

It was closed in 1859: the main buyer of the coal, the Hörder Hüttenwerk, had set up its own Schleswig mine in Asseln . The rightful owner of the mine field fell to the United Bickefeld civil engineering mine .

The name of the mine was given by the former Clarenberg Abbey .
