The Zeche Der neue Weg & Wilhelms Erbstollen or Zeche Der neue Weg & Wilhelm's Erbstollen was a coal mine in Dahlhausen . The mine was created through the consolidation of the Der neue Weg colliery with the Wilhelm's Erbstollen colliery . The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Dahlhausen .

The new way & Wilhelm's Erbstollen

The mine was also called the Zeche Der neue Weg & Wilhelm's Erbstollen . One year after the establishment of the joint operation of the two still independent mines, Wilhelm's Erbstollen was initially only used by the Johann Friederich colliery . Wilhelm's Erbstollen itself had only a small subsidy. In 1862 the dismantling of the Johann Friedrich colliery was ended and production stopped. From 1865 the colliery Der neue Weg & Wilhelm's Erbstollen was back in operation, and the final consolidation took place in the same year. From 1866 the mine was only called Wilhelm's Erbstollen .

Wilhelm's Erbstollen

The Erbstollen was in Dahlhausen / Oberwinz. On January 23, 1849, the right to inheritance was granted , as the gallery was about 5.3 meters deeper than the St. Mathias Erbstollen . In 1854 the colliery was allocated a seam from the St. Mathias Erbstollen and went into operation. In 1855, 41 miners extracted 15,847 Prussian tons of hard coal . The joint venture with Wilhelm's Erbstollen was established before 1856, and in 1865 both authorized persons were consolidated. From 1866 the mine was only called Zeche Wilhelm's Erbstollen . The mine was in operation from 1866 to 1876, after which it was no longer mentioned in the colliery chronicle.
