history
The beginnings as Strunksiepen
Very little is reported about the Strunksiepen colliery in Essen-Heisingen. In 1794 the concession to further dismantle the old Strunksieper coal bank was granted by Abbot Bernadus von Werden. The mine was in operation around 1800, after which it is no longer mentioned in the files. After the Bergregals had passed from the Abbot of Werden to the Prussian King, the registration with the Prussian Mining Authority took place in 1804. In 1840 another seam was inspected . On February 22nd, 1857, the Längenfeld was awarded . In the same year took place consolidation with the mining area New Heisingen to Zeche Friedrich Wilhelm.
The years as Friedrich Wilhelm
On February 22 of 1857 which was Langenfeld Strunk Siepen the same year on August 19, the length field New Heisingen awarded . Subsequently, the Friedrich Wilhelm union was founded in the same year . On December 1, 1857, the two authorized persons were consolidated. The union of the Strunksiepen colliery and the mother of the Neu-Heisingen field were each involved with 64 kuxes in the newly established union. In the years 1858 and 1859 there was initially no operation on the mine. On September 4th, 1859, the consolidation agreement was approved. In 1860, the upper daily drive began to be driven, from December of the same year the drive was deferred. In 1872 the mine was only mentioned in the files of the mining authority without any other information. In 1893 the majority of the Kuxen was acquired by the Rheinische Anthracit coal works. The Friedrich Wilhelm square was not scratched , except for the earlier construction of the tunnel by the Strunksiepen colliery. In 1896, Friedrich Wilhelm's tradesmen decided to dig a new shaft in the unscratched Friedrich Wilhelm field .
In the same year 1896 began, the shaft Friedrich Wilhelm abzuteufen . In the same year 40 miners were employed at the mine. 1897 at a depth (-32 meters of 92 meters NN ) from Hängebank the first sole recognized. The workforce this year was 67 miners. In the same year, a twin pump was installed for dewatering on the first level. In 1898 the 3rd level was set at a depth of 302 meters (−242 meters above sea level). In the same year there was a breakthrough with the mine workings of the Rheinische Anthracit Coal Works, but there was no separate mining at the mine . The workforce this year was 80 miners. In the same year, the promotion of the Rheinische Anthracit coal works began. From 1899, the entire mining of the Rhenish anthracite coal works was funded through the Wilhelm shaft after the ton-long shaft of the Rhenish anthracite coal works had been closed. The extraction took place up to the bottom of the tunnel. 161 miners were employed that year. In 1903 the Geviertfeld including the Friedrich Wilhelm shaft was taken over by the Rheinische Anthracit-Kohlenwerke. The Wilhelm shaft was later renamed Carl Funke 1 shaft.
