history
The beginnings
On July 20, 1768, the assumption was made for a mine field . The muted mine field had the dimensions of a mine and ten Maaßen . The field was in Hellinger Siepen, the carbon bank located in the mining area stressed to the east from the west. The mother was Johann Henrich Niermann and Johann Henrich Oberste Frielinghaus. The mountain jury Heintzmann received the order to inspect the field. In 1771, the tunnel that was set up had not yet reached the seam in the area of the Wiesengrund. The inspection had meanwhile taken place. When trades were at this time Johann Henrich Supreme Frielinghaus, Henrich Johann Supreme Frielinghaus, Johann Henrich Niermann, Mr. Hagemann called Schwermann and medicine fiscal Staarmann in the documents entered. It was determined that the mortgage lending and the measurement should take place as soon as the tunnel has reached the seam. From this point in time, the legal fees should also be paid.
The other years
On March 8, 1787, a length field was measured, but it is not known whether this length field was also awarded . In 1827, the St. Georg colliery began to develop the mine field. On November 16, 1829, the mine field was measured again. From April 1834, mining was carried out at the horse gopel shaft Hermine , which took several tons . There were three seams with different thicknesses in Verhieb . The thickest seam was sixty inches thick . The other two seams were 50 and 32 inches thick, respectively. The Hermine shaft belonged to the St. Georg mine. It had a shallow depth of 24 laughs. The colliery was demonstrably in operation in 1836, and on May 10 of the same year a length field was awarded.
In 1840 the Fanny shaft was mined; this shaft also belonged to the St. Georg colliery, it had a shallow depth of 30 puddles. In 1842 the colliery was solved via the St. Johannes Erbstollen . In 1845, further mining at the Fanny shaft. In 1855 the Hermine shaft was in operation. On May 20, 1862, the Gideon colliery consolidated with other mines below the St. Johannes Erbstollen sole to form the United Bommerbänker Tiefbau colliery . In 1867, the first digging of a shaft began, but in the course of the year operations were stopped due to lack of sales and poor coal quality. In 1869 the colliery was set in time limits . It was put back into operation in 1874, but in 1876 the colliery was again given deadlines. In 1880 the mine was closed due to bad weather . In 1882, consolidated the bill above the St. John Erbstollen with the bill of St. George for colliery Gideon.
Promotion and workforce
Only edible coals were extracted at the mine . The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1835, 2421 tons of hard coal were produced . In 1837, 16,196 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 the production sank to 11,768 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1842 production fell again to 8,766 Prussian tons. The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1845, when 14 miners were employed in the mine who produced 4006 tons. In 1865 the production sank to 1545 tons of hard coal and in 1867 only 313 tons of hard coal were extracted. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1875, when 397 tons of hard coal were extracted with nine miners. The last known workforce at the mine dates back to 1877, when seven miners were employed at the mine.
