The Eberhardine colliery was a hard coal mine in Bochum -Brenschede. The mine or its colliery was also known as the Eberhardina colliery .

history

The beginnings

In 1776 the mutation was laid on the Eberhardine seam. This seam was around 1.1 meters thick and consisted of 60 percent coal and 40 percent fire slate . Johann Christoph Steffen from Hagen appeared as the mother . However, the field has not yet been awarded at this point in time . Over the years the field was opened up by the tunnel of the Zeche Prinz Kater . After the field had largely been opened up, a production shaft was sunk . The starting point of this shaft was on the premises of the school on today's Markstraße and Universitätsstraße. In 1783 there were two more extraction shafts. The mine was measured on October 31 of this year . With this survey, the permit to mine the seam was also granted.

The further operation

In 1784 the mine was in operation. On June 17 of the same year a visit to the mine was planned by the head of the Brandenburg mountain area, Freiherr vom Stein . However, for various reasons it was not possible for the mountain official to enter the area. First of all, it was not possible to drive into the mine building with the conveyor system , as the conveyor rope was so worn that the rope journey would have been too dangerous . According to the authorities responsible for the mine layer master had the trades refrain Steffens to buy a new rope. It was also not possible to drive manually over the journeys , as there were no journeys in the conveyor shaft. Vom Stein provided information about the condition and performance of the mine in his protocol. He instructed Steffens' tradesmen to either buy a new rope for the access system immediately or to make trips in the shaft. This instruction was combined with the threat of a penalty if Steffens would continue to allow this abuse.

The Eberhardine colliery was closed before 1796. From 1846 the mine was back in operation. After the legal successor of the union Eberhardine the mining authority had asked to give the length field again, was first a Fund visit in three places instead of the seam. In the period from April 23 to May 17, 1853, the Längenfeld Eberhardine was awarded again. The trades for the lent Längenfeld: Karl Berger from Witten, Moritz Bölling from Bochum, Karl Ludwig Lohmann from Bommern and Friedrich Wilhelm Meyer from Weitmar. In the years 1870 to 1873 Kuxe of the Eberhardine colliery was still traded. However, the legitimate one was no longer important, as the seam was too impure for a successor operation. After 1873 there is no information about the mine.

Remarks

↑ The seam was already in 1765 in the excavation of the deeper Prince Hangover tunnels drilled through. Since the Prinz-Kater tradesmen had not considered the seam to be worth building , they had not given any hope of the seam. (Source: Kurt Pfläging: Stein's journey through coal mining on the Ruhr. )
↑ As a brand shale refers mixed with thin carbon layers shales . The coal and the shale can also appear in alternating layers. Fire slate has a high ash content. (Source: Walter Bischoff , Heinz Bramann, Westfälische Berggewerkschaftskasse Bochum: Das kleine Bergbaulexikon .)
