The Frielinghaus colliery in the Vormholz -Hardenstein district of Witten is a former hard coal mine . The colliery was also known as the Frielinghaus Colliery Herbede . As of 1832, the bill was as mine Frielinghaus civil engineering , mining Frielinghausen or mine Frilinghausen known. Parts of the mine are now part of the Muttental mining trail .

history

The beginnings

In 1768, Johann Henrich Oberste Frielinghaus suggested building a pit under the name Frielinghaus. The pit field extended from the Hardensteiner Tal to the Muttental. In 1771, a tunnel was dug west of Oberste Berghaus and excavation began. The Frielinghaus trade had the tunnel driven from the Hardensteiner Tal in the Frielinghaus seam. He had the coal mined through a conveyor tunnel. The mine was demonstrably in operation in 1775, 1777, 1783 and 1784. On January 26, 1784, a length field was awarded . In 1788 the two brothers Frielinghaus were enfeoffed with the seam. In 1794, which took place solution of the field by twelve meters below St. John Erbstollen . For this was the sough of the seam a Flügelort ascended to the east.

The further operation

The mine had been in operation with a few interruptions since the beginning of the 19th century. The degraded coals were analyzed by carts from the mine promoted and day transported to the Hard Steiner valley. In the Hardenstein Valley, the coal was sold to the surrounding area. In 1803 a breakthrough to the St. Johannes Erbstollen was made. In 1806, two tunnels had been built to the east. The basic route from the St. Johannes Erbstollen had reached a length of 520 meters. To prevent the basic stretch from collapsing, it was secured by a shock wall. One of the tunnels was now 428 meters long, the other 543 meters long. From 1811, coal was also extracted from the tunnel from the Muttental. Around the year 1815, the winged village reached the Muttental at a depth of twelve meters. In order to connect the bottom of the Erbstollen with the Muttental, the eastern daily drive was driven from the Muttental to the Flügelort. In addition, the western daily drive was driven from the Hardensteiner Tal to the bottom of the Erbstollen. Since the ventilation in the western construction site deteriorated, the trades were forced to remedy the situation. To achieve this, a breakthrough was created between the western and eastern tunnels in 1815. On June 26, 1819, there was a partial merger between the St. Johannes Erbstollen and the Frielinghaus colliery to form the St. Johannes Erbstollen & Frielinghaus Flügelort union . The reason for the merger was the excavation of a base section to the St. Johannes Erbstollen. The old base stretch was constantly silted up by the pit water and collapsed in some places, so that it had to be overcome between the years 1819 and 1822 .

In the years 1822 and 1828 the mine was demonstrably in operation, in 1829 the mine was probably closed in time limits . In the same year, together with four other mines, a mine railway was built in Muttental . In the following year the mine was at times within deadlines. The transition to civil engineering began in the 1830s . On March 25th, 1832, a contract was signed with the St. Johannes Erbstollen for partial unification below the St. Johannes Erbstollen Erbstollen sole. The purpose of this association, which was called St. Johannes Erbstollen & Frielinghaus Tiefbau, was to dismantle the deposit in civil engineering. In 1834 the mining was carried out in civil engineering, the extraction took place in the Orion joint shaft. The Orion shaft was equipped with a steam engine that was used for dewatering and extraction. The two existing day drives (west and east) served as an additional connection to the surface. In 1835, the Frielinghaus colliery was further resolved above the bottom of the Erbstollen through the St. Johannes Erbstollen. In 1845 civil engineering was already in operation up to the third level below the bottom of the Erbstollen. Around the year 1847 , the Frielinghaus colliery consolidated with other authorized persons below the bottom of the Erbstollen to form the United Hardenstein colliery. Around the year 1849 the deposit was dismantled and the St. Johannes Erbstollen & Frielinghaus Tiefbau union was shut down. In 1852, the bill Frielinghaus use together with the St. John Erbstollen the seigeren machine shaft Aurora. At that time the shaft belonged to the Fortuna colliery and had a depth of nine laughs, it was extracted with a horse peg . Around the year 1860 which ran funding partly through a tunnel of the mine Louischen and from there to watch. A short time later, the Frielinghaus colliery was shut down in 1860.

The last few years

On July 1, 1915, the Frielinghaus colliery was put back into operation, there was a tunnel and a daytime opening. In October 1918 the Frielinghaus colliery was shut down again. The reason for the closure was the poor underground conditions, so only dismantled structures were driven into in all drives . In the same year a joint venture with three other mines was formed. On April 1, 1919, the tunnel was put back into operation. Funding was provided by the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery , and the workforce also worked for the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery. At this point in time, the construction site was 1200 meters across and 18 meters across. The construction site was closed again before 1925. From November 1, 1925, the joint venture with the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery was dissolved again. Although there was still a tunnel and a daytime clearing, the Frielinghaus colliery was no longer operated. On February 29, 1929, the Frielinghaus colliery was finally shut down.

Promotion and workforce

The first workforce dates back to 1808, there were 30 miners in the mine. The first production figures come from the year 1830, 393 tons of hard coal were produced . In 1835 125,648 bushels of hard coal were mined. In 1838 around 13,000 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 the annual production sank to 59,105 bushels of hard coal. In 1845, 13 to 34 miners extracted 128,142 bushels of hard coal. In 1847 the production fell to 30,942 bushels of hard coal, this production was provided by six to 26 miners. In 1915, four miners extracted 1,375 tons of hard coal. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1918, with ten miners 2803 tons of hard coal mined.

Current condition

The tunnel mouth hole of the Frielinghaus colliery is still there today. It is located above the Hardenstein castle ruins and is part of the Muttental mining circuit . There are also remains of the Orion shaft.
