The Frischauf colliery is a former hard coal mine in Hohenstein . The colliery was also known under the name of Zeche Frischauff . Although the actual activities at the Frischauf colliery did not begin until the 19th century, it was already mentioned in 1739 as "lying still". The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district.

history

The beginnings

On February 20 and May 14, 1844 took place ceremony of the two length fields Frischauf in Ardey south and north wings. Earlier in the two wings one was route ascended Service. On January 1, 1845, the dismantling began. In 1848 the second die sole was in operation. The following year was in the north wing with the sinking of the tonnlägigen shaft Wilhelmine begun. The shaft was located near the Wetterstrasse. In 1850 the sinking work was postponed. In the following year a water retention steam engine was first put into operation and from August of the following year the Wilhelmine shaft was sunk further. In 1852 the Wilhelmine shaft reached the seam at a shallow depth of 128 meters . The weather bed was set at a shallow depth of 124 meters . In 1853, at a shallow depth of 105 Lachter, the second level was set as the first underground level. In 1854 the mine had an output of 4½ tons per man and shift. At that time, this result was one of the best in the Westphalian coal mining industry.

The other years

In 1855 the Wilhelmine shaft reached the level of the first level of the Franziska colliery. Little water inflows of up to five cubic feet occurred during the sinking work . After reaching the first level, civil engineering began. It was the seam Frischauf in Verhieb taken. This seam was 50 inches thick and was on two saddle wings, one of which was dismantled in civil engineering . The coal extraction went very well, so that a better performance could be achieved than in the previous year. This year, 5½ tons of coal were mined per man and shift. The coal mined was sold to buyers in the vicinity. The main customers were the steel factory Friedrich Lohmann and the pudding works Lohmann. At that time, the mine belonged to the jury area Ostlich Witten . In 1856, mining was extended from the shaft to the second main fault . In 1857 the excavation took place above the first underground level . In the same year the Wilhelmine shaft was sunk deeper and reached 27 puddles below the 2nd level of the mine sheath of the Leipzig colliery . For this reason, the sinking work was postponed until an agreement was reached with the Leipzig mine. For this reason, the mine owners of Frischauf planned a die construction to be able to mine below the first level. On May 7th of the same year a square was awarded. In the following year, die construction continued without disruption from water inflows. The fixture work above the first underground level was continued. No agreement has been reached with the Leipzig mine this year. The sinking work on the Wilhelmine shaft was only continued after the agreement with the Leipzig mine. In 1859, the Franziska colliery was dismantled by means of substation construction under the 2nd level and below the authorized persons . At that time, only one seam was mined. Since the Franziska colliery was being mined below the seams, the seam had to be excavated by means of site construction . The water inflows on the mine were only small, they were eight cubic feet per minute.

The last few years

In 1860, the sinking work on the Wilhelmine shaft was resumed and the shaft was sunk deeper. The shaft was sunk 20 holes deeper. In addition, 25 puddles under the first building floor were started with the device for the lower building site this year. A chopping down 23 laughs was raised from the bottom . In 1861 the Wilhelmine shaft reached a shallow depth of 335 meters. The mining of the Frischauf seam this year was partly carried out using blind shafts . In the same year, the sinking of a seigeren weather shaft began. The weather shaft had become necessary in order to improve the ventilation of the part of the field behind the second main fault . The breakthrough of the shaft should take place with the weather crosscut in the seam Portbank. This year the construction of the foundations for a steam art started above days . At that time the mine was part of the Witten mining area . In 1862 the Wilhelmine shaft reached a depth of 185 pods. The rate applied on the harrow, seigere Wetterschacht this year was at a depth of 21½ Lachter with the workings in the second main fault durchschlägig . In 1865 the second underground level was set in the Wilhelmine shaft at a shallow depth of 458 meters. At a depth of 219 Lachter, the shaft reached the limit of the Leipzig mine. On December 29, 1866, in the north wing below the bottom of the tunnel, the union to form the United Franziska Tiefbau took place; the south wing remained independent. In 1867 pit fields were exchanged with the Leipzig mine . In 1868 only alignment work was carried out for the most part. In 1870, the Wilhelmine shaft was sunk deeper again to create the shaft sump . For this purpose, the shaft was sunk to a depth of 66 lights. Above ground , a direct-acting 47 inch was dewatering machine installed. The machine was intended to operate a twelve inch printing set. In 1871 a solution agreement with the mines Borbecker Tiefbau and Vereinigte Franziska Tiefbau came to a loose union. The reason for the contract was the solution of Borbecker Mulde. In the same year, the coal mine Vereinigte Franziska Tiefbau took over. In 1873, the Wilhelmine shaft, which took several tons, was dropped after the mine field of the Frischauf colliery was dismantled by the Vereinigte Franziska Tiefbau colliery. In the same year, the entire right was transferred to the United Franziska Tiefbau colliery.

Promotion and workforce

The mined edible coals were very suitable for flame furnace operations and forging . The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1845, 141,349 bushels of hard coal were produced . The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1847, at that time between 21 and 29 miners were employed in the mine, who produced 131,959 bushels. In 1850, 34 miners produced 80,176 bushels of hard coal. In 1855, 90 miners were employed in the mine, and that year production rose to 132,985 Prussian tonnes of hard coal. This promotion could be achieved due to the great regularity of the seam. This resulted in an output of 22 bushels per man and shift. In 1866, 17,793 tons of hard coal were mined. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine come from the year 1870, when 124 miners extracted 22,582 tons of hard coal.
