The bill Franz Haniel was a coal - mine in Bottrop and Oberhausen .
history
In the middle of the 19th century the Gutehoffnungshütte acquired the extensive field holdings "Oberhausen" and "Neu-Oberhausen" . This field ownership extended under Oberhausen , Sterkrade , Königshardt , Klosterhardt and Bottrop.
The field area "Oberhausen" was developed by the Oberhausen colliery and its large connection systems ( Osterfeld colliery, etc.). In 1914, the Jacobi colliery had already gone into operation in the "Neu-Oberhausen" field area .
After the First World War , the Gutehoffnungshütte started another new exploration in the "Neu-Oberhausen" field because of the increasing need for coal .
In 1921, the sinking work for shafts 1 and 2 began in the forest area on Fernewaldstrasse in Oberhausen- Königshardt . The new mine was named in honor of Hugo Haniel's only son , Franz Haniel junior . As chairman of the supervisory board of Gutehoffnungshütte, Franz Haniel junior was particularly committed to expanding the company's own mines. A large bust of Prof. Kolbe from Berlin, which was made in 1941 and is owned by the Haniel family , can still be seen on the mine site of the mine .
After successful sinking using the freezing process , the two shafts were sunk as far as the coal mountains by 1924 . In 1925 there was a severe water and floating sand ingress in shaft 2, which filled the shaft up to the surface and put it under water.
The sinking work for the entire system was interrupted until further notice.
In 1938 work was resumed due to the changed economic framework. By 1943, both shafts had reached their final depth and were built to be stable with tubbings ( Küvelage ). The war events led to a renewed suspension of the expansion work.
After the end of the war, the mining property of Gutehoffnungshütte was handed over to a successor company. This led the construction work of the Franz Haniel colliery to a preliminary conclusion. It was planned to use both shafts as equal production shafts for a daily production of 9,000 tons in operation. Both shafts should be provided with a double-headed conveyor frame. A coking plant and power station were also planned for the plant.
In 1952 the plant went into operation in a smaller form. The double strut frame above shaft 2 was built, while a small headframe was built above shaft 1 for emergency access. In addition, a power plant was built as a processing company.
The colliery developed very promisingly and became an attractive landmark because of its basic aesthetic concept. The factory settlements were laid out in the surrounding forest area according to modern standards.
The Franz Haniel colliery was taken over in 1957 by Hüttenwerke Oberhausen AG (HOAG) as the successor company to Gutehoffnungshütte. The annual production at that time was 1.5 million tons of coal.
In 1965 the HOAG decided to merge its two mines, Jacobi and Franz Haniel, in terms of conveying technology .
The "Jacobi" / "Franz Haniel" joint mine that was created was taken over in 1968 by Ruhrkohle AG .
In 1974 this composite mine was transferred to the “Prosper-Haniel” composite mine . The Franz Haniel 1/2 shafts remained in operation as cableway , recovery and weather shafts .
As part of the Prosper-Haniel mine, the "Franz Haniel" mine ceased production on December 21, 2018. For the dismantling work, miners are still driving underground in the hoist cage (as of 2019).
