The Einigkeit colliery was created in 1827 through the consolidation of eleven small mines in the Essen-Steele area in order to create a new tunnel with combined means . The first operating phase lasted until 1835.
In 1837 another new tunnel was set up directly on the road from Steele to Bochum , today's Bochumer Landstrasse . After 1840, two shafts were driven in these tunnels in order to mine the supplies located above. This measure paid off, because in 1842 the annual output had risen to 5,000 tons. The Bochumer Landstrasse was no longer sufficient to transport coal, so by 1855 a 300 meter long sliding path to the coal storage facility on the banks of the Ruhr was laid out. After the coal reserves were exhausted, the Einigkeit colliery was consolidated again and in 1856 merged into the later Eintracht Tiefbau colliery .
