The Fortuna colliery in Essen-Bredeney is a former hard coal mine . The mine was in operation with interruptions for about 120 years.
Mine history Fortuna
In 1758 it was awarded by the Abbot Anselmus von Werden. Presumably, operations began immediately after the award ceremony. In 1822 the Fortuna colliery was consolidated with the Flasruthe and Stocksiepen collieries. This was followed by mining operations in the Finefrau Nebenbank and Samsbank seams . The tunnel opening of the consolidated colliery was on Vossbusch. The official commissioning took place on July 4, 1825, an old tunnel shaft was opened. In 1826 there was little mining. In 1830 the mine building was aligned and little dismantling was carried out. In 1834, the Stocksiepen shaft was dismantled. In 1837 the mine was in deadlines set. From 1839 the mine continued to be laid in time limits. In 1856 , a Seigerer shaft was dug in the mine field of the mine, east of the Chaussee from Bochum to Hattingen . The shaft was down to a depth of ten Lach Tern geteuft . Through this measure, a reduction height of 30 puddles was achieved. At this depth an 80 inch thick seam was exposed. The shaft was equipped with a reel to convey the mined coal. The coal extracted should be sold by means of land sales . In 1876 the mine was put back into operation, but probably only for a short time. The mine was closed in 1880. In 1885, the right was acquired by the Langenbrahm mine . However, the remaining field was only opened up in 1898 after the intervening mine field of the Bredeneyer Crone colliery had been acquired by the Langebrahm colliery.
Promotion and workforce
The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1830, when seven miners were employed at the mine. The first known production figures for the mine date back to 1834, with ten miners producing 26,376 bushels of hard coal . In 1836 4643¾ tons of hard coal were mined from Prussia . The last production figures of the mine come from the year 1838, in this year 205 Prussian tons of hard coal were produced.
Flasruthe mining history
The Flasruthe colliery was also located in Essen-Bredeney. On November 30, 1779, the abbot Anselmus von Werden was awarded the right to dismantle, after which dismantling was carried out. In 1802 the operation was closed and on October 8th of the same year the Zeche Flasruthe was combined with the Zeche Stocksiepen. On January 17, 1822 and July 29 of the same year , the Flasruthe colliery consolidated with the Fortuna colliery.
Mine history Stocksiepen
Very little is known about the Stocksiepen colliery in Essen-Bredeney. The mine was started in 1802, whether it was in operation is unknown. On October 8, 1802, the union with the Flasruthe mine took place.
