Mining history

Already in 1575 mining was carried out in this area . On March 26, 1820, the courage was inserted and on October 16, a length field was awarded . On July 1, 1821, the mine was put into operation. An old tunnel system with a light hole was reworked near the Thabrauck . This tunnel system probably came from the Nepomuk mine, which was operated in the 18th century . The tunnel mouth hole was at a height of 168 meters above sea ​​level . In 1822, mining was operated and in Nebenflöz dirt bank basic route eastward ascended . In 1825 the Gotthilf shaft was initially dismantled in the secondary seam, after which the mine was temporarily out of service until 1827.

In 1836, 169 puddles were sunk east of the Elisabeth shaft, the Hope shaft. In 1840 the colliery was again temporarily out of order and from December 31 of the same year it was completely out of order. From April 13, 1841, mining began again and from October of the same year only the mine field was aligned . From March of the following year, dismantling was initially carried out and on December 31, 1842, another shutdown took place. From March 1st of that year, the Hope Shaft was dismantled again. 1845 the mine was temporarily in periods obtained. From February 17 to September 5, 1847, the mine was again received within time limits and in November of the same year the Frohe Sicht colliery was shut down again.

In 1951 the mine was reopened under the new name Zeche Haggenberg with a new tunnel.
