The Felicitas colliery is a former hard coal mine in Hörde - Hacheney . The mine mouth hole was on Steinklippenweg, south of the railway bridge over the Emscher. The mine probably had 13 day shafts in operation during the period of operation, but nothing is noted in the documents about the dates of their creation.
history
The beginnings
The tunnel was set up on February 9, 1758 , and the state should contribute to the costs. In 1771, the drive was postponed due to legal disputes. In 1774 the tunnel was driven further. In 1783 the mine was preserved in time and in the following years the mine was back in operation. In 1784 the tunnel reached a length of 67 laughs . The mine was in operation until 1786. In 1787 the tunnel had meanwhile been broken and out of order, but the mining authorities had not been informed of this. In 1796 the shaft Christina (Tray 5) was in operation, there were 35,831 Ringel coal promoted. On February 15 of that year, which was Erbstollenrecht lent and on May 25, which took place ceremony of a length field . In 1797 a picture of the mine was made.
The other years
The road shaft was in operation in 1800 and the Diederich shaft in 1805. In 1810 the Emilie, Gotthilf, Heinrich, Christoph and Caspar shafts were in operation, in 1815 the Lazarus and Gotthilf shafts and shaft 9. In 1820 shafts 10 and 11 and in 1825 the Charlotte shaft were in operation. In 1830, the Veronica and Charlotte shafts were in operation, with an output of 40,000 bushels per year. The Emilie shaft was initially in operation in 1835, and the mine was closed in September. In 1837 the mine was put into operation for a short time and 1290 ½ tons of Prussian hard coal were extracted. These are the last known production figures for the mine. From 1838, the mine was preserved for several years. In 1842 the entitlement had still not been confirmed by the mining authorities. In 1845 the mine was back in operation and in 1850 the fields were cleared with the Glückaufsegen colliery .
In 1858 the Geviertfelder were Felicitas Litt. A, Litt. B and No. 3 awarded. The No. 3 was awarded for the extraction of coal iron stone , but probably no more mining took place . In 1899, a so-called solution contract for mining by the Crone colliery was concluded. In 1902 it was consolidated into the United Felicitas colliery , this process was probably completed on April 1, 1903.
Reuse
The Phoenix-West steelworks was later built on the site of the Felicitas colliery .
