The Friedrich Zeche is a former hard coal mine in Bochum-Sundern . The colliery was also known as Zeche Friedrichgericht's Stiepel, Zeche Friederich, Zeche Friederichsbank and Zeche Friedrichsberg . The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district.

history

The beginnings

The prospect for the mine field was introduced in 1751. Baron Küchmeister von Sternberg acted as mother . He asked for a coal bank exposed in the Stiepeler Marck and coveted a mine field the size of a treasure trove and 20 dimensions . On 14 February 1752 was carried out ceremony of a length field for the seam main seam. A sweeping tunnel , the Oberstollen, was excavated from the Rauterdeller valley . The mining was carried out only irregularly and insignificantly, it was a so-called fiscal colliery at that time. In the years 1754 and 1755, the mine was given time limits due to a lack of sales . On February 14th of the year 1757 a renewed request was made. There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1758 and 1759. In the period from March 4 to April 6 of 1762 which was Berechtsame acquired through trades Vahlefeld, Dröge Horn and Johann Wilhelm Müser. The mine was surveyed in 1766 . The perforated stone was set in the Krockhauss Bruch.

The other years

There is evidence that the mine was in operation between 1768 and 1771. On January 11, 1771, the trades Johann Wilhelm Müser, Friedrich Vahlefeld and Johann Jörgen Dröghorn were noted in the documents . The legal fees had been paid in the years before and were also paid in the current year. Jörgen Henrich Wünnenberg worked as a shift supervisor at the mine. From 1772 coal was delivered to Kleve on the Ruhr. On February 26, 1787, a new opinion was put in and on January 24, 1789, the rights of entitlement were reassigned . From 1800 onwards, the mine was again received within time limits. In 1833 a new tunnel was driven across to the north. This tunnel was located 130 meters next to the old tunnel and was set 2.3 meters lower. In 1834 the horse-drawn tram from Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen was also used to transport coal to the coal storage facility on the Ruhr. From September of the same year, work was done again within deadlines. The mine was probably shut down afterwards, as it was put back into operation on April 1, 1835. In 1843 a steam cap was installed for a mine . The shaft was sunk up to the Luise seam, taking several tons. In 1845 the seam was opened up by the St. Mathias Erbstollen .

In 1850, the mining above the tunnel sole was stopped and lowered down to the St. Mathias Erbstollen sole. In 1853 a shaft was sunk which was to be used for common use with the Prussian Zepter colliery. The shaft received a steam cap with an output of 14 hp as a hoisting machine . The Prussian Zepter colliery had previously been acquired by the Friedrich colliery in the same year. In addition, a 200- laugh- long railway line to Hattingen was built. In 1855 the shaft reached the St. Mathias Erbstollen sole with the 2nd level, the 1st level is at the level of the Friedrich tunnel. At that time the mine belonged to the jury district Westlich Witten . In 1856 the Friedrich Nebenflöz field was awarded. In 1861, work began on digging a joint ventilation shaft for the pit of the Friedrich colliery and the pit of the Prussian scepter colliery. The shaft was intended to improve ventilation in the Friedrich main seam; it was set up for 300 puddles from the St. Mathias cross passage . In the same year the shaft was sunk down to a depth of seven pools. With the cross cut on the eastern divide of the Mathildenglück field, the unclean seams No. 26 and 27 through. This year the cross passage reached a length of 33 1/8 laughers. At that time the mine belonged to the Dahlhausen mining area. In 1873, the mining on the third level was almost finished, so that on November 22nd of the same year there was consolidation at the Brockhauser Tiefbau colliery.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1836, 3737 Prussian tons of hard coal were produced . In 1840, 4,330¼ tons of hard coal were mined. In 1845 the production rose to 3,063 tons of hard coal. The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1847, when between 15 and 49 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 5493 tons. In 1850, 6,321 tons were extracted. In 1855, 26 miners extracted 10,924 2/8 tons of hard coal. In 1860, 38 miners were employed in the mine, the production increased to 7,641 tons of hard coal that year. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1865 with 34 miners. This year 14,230 tons of hard coal were mined. From 1867, the production decreased significantly, 1700 tons of hard coal were mined that year. In 1869 the production sank to 191 tons. The last mining and workforce figures for the mine are from 1873, when 11,601 tons were extracted with 83 miners.
