Mining history
On March 19, 1772, it was enfeoffed by the Baron von Wendt. There is evidence that the colliery was in operation in 1788 and 1790. A length field was awarded on October 20, 1792 . In 1796 shaft 8 was mined and in the same year shaft 9 was sunk and named Bruno shaft. In 1799 a tunnel near Horst Castle and shafts 9 and 10 were in operation. As of October 22 of the same year, the mine was put in deadlines . In 1801, dismantling was again carried out for a time. In 1802, 48 were first Ringel coal promoted a day, from mid-year the mine was again obtained in deadlines.
From January 30, 1804, mining was again carried out at the Bruno shaft. In 1805 the Bruno, July and Berlin shafts (shaft 11) were mined. In 1810, mining was carried out at the Michael shaft (shaft 12). From March 1813 the mine was shut down. In the years 1814 and 1815 the Geitling colliery was closed due to a lack of sales. In 1830 the mine had a production capacity of 23,000 Prussian tons . It is not known whether the mine was in operation that year. In 1837 the Geitling colliery was idle for a long time. In 1844 the seam was called Wohlverwahrt. The coal height was at a shallow depth of 150 to 180 meters. In 1940, the company was consolidated into the Wohlverwahrt mine .
