The Zeche Flöte was a small mine in the south of what is now the Essen district of Bredeney .
Coal was already being mined in their mine field in 1777 . The company ran with interruptions until 1839. Then the supplies available at that time were exhausted and the mine was abandoned.
Almost a hundred years later, in 1924, a new colliery flute came into operation. Initially as a tunnel mine , later with an underground shaft . In 1925 57 men were employed on the flute . The annual production was 11,000 t of lean coal . The following year it was 18,600 tons. It was shut down as early as 1927.
