The Gertgesbank colliery in Sprockhövel (district Haßlinghausen ) is a former hard coal mine . The mine is also known under the name Zeche Gertgesbanck or Zeche Gertgensbank . It is probably identical to the coal mine in the Halloer Busch. The Gertgesbank colliery was located in the area of ​​the Zechenstrasse and at times belonged to the Scherenberg colliery . The mine was operated in the Haßlinghauser Mulde as one of four mines in the Geitling seam.

history

The beginnings

The award ceremony took place on June 7, 1671 , and the colliery went into operation. The mine was in operation from 1737 to 1784. According to the records of the Wetter office, in 1755 the sons of the Stock and Scherenberg trades , Johan Jörgen Nölle and Henrich Peter Scherenberg, worked as shift supervisors at the mine. On July 3 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Gertgesbank colliery was one of four mines that von Stein visited on this day on its eighteen-day journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. At the time of the visit, a location was being driven to the west from the deepest shaft . The excavation of the place took place in the middle seam . Vom Stein provided information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance of the miners employed there . Vom Stein noted in his minutes that it would be better to reduce the current number of drift shafts from three to one. At the time of the inspection, the trades did not have any knowledge of the amount of coal still available in the field. Since the lying seams had already been dismantled in advance , one wanted to check this by means of an experiment. However, the trades wanted to wait until the new shaft was penetrated before investigating .

The other years

In 1796 the Jutemann (shaft 14) and Aufermann (shaft 15) shafts were in operation. From this year the mine was part of the Obersteig Hilgenstock traffic area . In 1800 the Friederica and Eva shafts were in operation. In March 1801 it was partially merged with the Zeche Eggerbank to form the Zeche Vereinigte Egger- & Gertgesbank. In 1805 the Keller, Crone and Friederica shafts were in operation. In March 1806, the developed coal reserves were depleted and the mine was closed. In November of the year 1810 it was put back into operation and the shaft association was sunk . In 1812, mining was carried out in the upper adit, in the old works and in the deep adit, in 1815 in the area of ​​the deep adit at the Adam, Doris and Johann Friedrich shafts. In 1820, the Concordia shaft began to be sunk and mining continued. From March of 1821 that was mine field of mine Gertgesbank the floor and slammed scissors Berger main pit.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production figures of the mine date back to 1741, then 10,398 were ringed coal promoted. In 1745 the production sank to 5614 Ringel bituminous coal. In 1749 the production was 5064 ringel bituminous coal and in 1754 the production was 6088 ringel bituminous coal. The only known workforce at the mine dates back to 1750, when nine miners were employed. The last production figures of the mine come from the year 1805, in which 1832 tons of hard coal were extracted.

Coal bank in the Halloer Busch

The coal bank colliery in the Halloer Busch in Sprockhövel-Haßlinghausen was also called the Gertgesbank colliery or the clay bank colliery . It is probably also identical with the Halloer Banck colliery , which in turn was also called Kolgruben on the Hallo , and with the Halloer Banck colliery negst der Neder Wiesen . All three mines are mentioned in 1659 in the documents of the mining authority . Another indication that the bill Halloer Busch is identical to mine coal bank in Halloer Busch, results from a Mutungsbestätigung of 5 September of the year 1637. The trades Cordt floor was therein by the Bergmeister Diederich of Diest a disused coal mine Werck belehnt , which was located in the Halloer Busch from the Weigershusser Wieschen. On July 29, 1659, a courtesy certificate was issued for two abandoned benches for Cordt Stock for the coal mine in the Halloer Busch . The two banks were located near the coal bank in the Halloer Grund, which had already been acquired in 1645 . Following the lending, tunnel construction was carried out with other trades . On September 25, 1659, the Oberbergvogt Diederich von Diest gave another loan to the trades Peter Söhnken (Peter Hallo), Cordt Stock and Peter Stock.
