The Colonia colliery is a former hard coal mine in the Langendreer district of Bochum . Despite its 25-year history, the mine was in operation for just five years. The pit field of the Colonia colliery was near the marl boundary .
Mining history
On December 4, 1848, was carried out ceremony of the square field Colonia. In 1857, the beginning of the devil of a shaft west of Coloniastrasse, the shaft was planned for civil engineering . In the same year the shaft reached a depth of three laughs . At that time, the mine was part of the Bochum mining district . The carbon was reached at a depth of 25 meters . In 1858, the sinking work was sunk to a depth of eleven laughs by means of a sink wall . In June of that year, the sinking operation were due to heavy water inflow at a depth of 27 meters deferred . The water inflows were about 225 cubic feet per minute. In 1859 the sunken wall was lowered two more pools in the gravel . The water inflows were 230 cubic feet per minute. In the same year, further operations were stopped due to lack of money. Operations were not resumed in the following year either.
In 1861 the breakthrough took place with the United Urbanus colliery and in April 1866 it was reopened, the shaft was further sunk. In 1867 the first level was set at a shallower depth of 61 meters (+41 m above sea level ). The following year, the second level was set at a shallower depth of 130 meters (−28 m above sea level). In 1869, a 49 was Rods long horse-drawn tram to Bahnhof Langendreer south side of the Bergisch railway company built (BME). The railway was necessary so that the mine had a transport connection in order to be able to transport the coal extracted. At that time the mine belonged to the Witten mining area . Mining began in 1870, with 200 miners producing 18,085 tons of hard coal . In addition, a coking plant was put into operation in the same year . In 1872 the mine was taken over by the Aktiengesellschaft für Bergbau, Eisen- und Stahlindustrie from Berlin. In 1874 the dammed south field was opened. The deepening of the shaft was deferred. With 442 miners 52,954 tons of hard coal were extracted. The following year it was merged to form the Mansfeld colliery .
