The Friedrich Wilhelm colliery is a former hard coal mine in Dortmund .
The mine was located south of the city center, in what is now the city center-west north of the Emscher on the area of the parking lot of today's Westfalenpark . The bill Friedrich Wilhelm was at the request of the Bureau of Mines in 1815 weather from the previous mines Sonnenblick , Am Busch , bridal chamber and Sümpfgen consolidated to put together a steam-powered dewatering to use. In 1816 a steam engine supplied by Franz Dinnendahl was put into operation at the Wilhelm shaft .
Starting in 1828, civil engineering continued with the pits Friedrich, Veltheim (1839) and August (1855).
In 1892 the mine was obsolete and bankrupt. Subsequently, the colliery continued under the name Vorwärts until 1903. After the colliery was finally closed, the mining fields fell to the Freie Vogel & Unverhofft colliery .
Today two information boards from the Association of Mining Historic Sites in the Ruhr Area remind of the early composite mine .
