The colliery Dahl Hauser engineering was a coal - mine directly on the Ruhr in Bochum district Dahlhausen .
The colliery was created through the consolidation of the mines Zeche Besserglück , Glücksonne and Dahlhausen. The goal was the civil engineering below the tunnel floors . The use of steam engines was mine water rise from great depths become possible.
Mining history
In 1858 the sinking of shaft I began. But as early as 1859, due to the strong water inflow at a depth of 16.5 meters, it was necessary to install more powerful pumps . As the shaft 1860, the tunnel bottom had been reached and the promotion was taken, the operation had to be stopped later for lack of funds short time. In 1861 production was resumed. Shaft I was in operation until 1963 and was then backfilled .
From 1870 to 1871, in the north field, next to shaft I, a mound-length weather shaft with a depth of 65 meters was built . It was given up in 1913. From 1881 the first economically working briquette factory was operated in the Ruhr area, which was already delivering to Italy in 1885. In 1872 the connecting line to the Dahlhausen - Hattingen (Ruhr) line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) went into operation.
A fire on 9 December 1895 destroyed several plants above ground and the subdivision of space of the shaft, which also because of the failure of the pumps absoff . From 1897 to 1898 another weather shaft was built.
In 1910, the depth of shaft II, 180 meters began south of Shaft I, in 1912 from the 6th floor was in operation. The 8th level of Shaft II reached a depth of 730 meters. The mine field of the closed Altendorf Tiefbau colliery was taken over in 1914. From 1915 to 1919 the later resistance fighter Nikolaus Groß was employed here. During the Second World War , the mine used forced labor . In stock Horkenstein 240 were about civilian workers housed.
In the years 1957 to 1958 repairs were carried out on the Altendorf II shaft, which was in operation up to the 7th level in 1960. From 1963 the shaft was only used as a weather shaft. In 1960, a modern winding tower was built on Lewackerstraße as a concrete structure based on a design by the Essen industrial architect Fritz Schupp .
Production was given up on September 1, 1965, and the daytime facilities were demolished until 1972. The Dahlhauser Tiefbau II shaft and the Altendorf II shaft with a depth of 760 meters were taken over by the Carl Funke colliery . Both were dropped and backfilled in 1972 .
Today, only a small park on a wasteland and a tunnel mouth hole on Lewackerstraße remind of mining . The two manhole covers of the Dahlhauser Tiefbau 1 and 2 shafts are still visible.
