The Glückauf-Tiefbau colliery was a hard coal mine in Dortmund 's Hombruch district .
Since 1616, the won to lock Brünninghausen sedentary family of Romberg coal. In 1752, the Glückauf Erbstollen mine was created in Bolmke on the Emscher . The tunnel led into the Ardey Mountains and, at 5 km, was the longest in today's Dortmund.
In 1792 the two shafts Gotthelf and Traugott were sunk . The Gotthelf shaft, equipped with two steam engines , was 240 m deep and was the deepest in what was then the county of Mark . In 1865 the Giesbert shaft was added as the third shaft. With the railway connection in 1870, the extracted coal could now be better transported away.
In 1872, the Glückauf-Tiefbau colliery had a workforce of more than 1,000. Baron von Romberg sold the mine to the Dortmund Union .
In 1910, the Glückauf-Tiefbau colliery went to the German-Luxemburgish Mining and Hütten-AG . The Gotthelf, Traugott and Giesbert shafts were more than 720 m, 512 m and 419 m deep. In 1918 the colliery, renamed Glückauf Tiefbau in 1891, produced its highest production of 379,000 tons with 2053 men, including 500 prisoners of war.
The overburden was heaped up into pointed cone heaps with a cable car . The heap, which was later flattened and greened, characterizes today's Hombruch.
The colliery was shut down due to the northern migration of the Ruhr mining industry in 1925. In 1930, the connected coking plant was also shut down.
Current condition
The mine site was on Gotthelfstraße in Hombruch. You can see part of the colliery wall and the dump today. The two filled shafts with manhole covers (for measurements) can be seen on the lawn behind the high-rise buildings .
