Mining history
Mine Glückauf
Around 1616 it was already being dismantled. In 1752 the mine was re-established as Romberg'sche Stollenzechen , before that there was a time without dismantling . The Romberg'schen Stollenzechen were later renamed Glückauf. In 1754 there was a 400 foot long siding . A year later, the Glückauf tunnel was driven.
Due to the constant operation, the mine was in a bad condition in 1783, there were no lift shafts, driving in the shafts was only possible with the conveyor system. After the repair, coal was sent to the saltworks in Königsborn in 1786 . Shafts 7, 9 and 12 were in operation in 1796, the Klüsener shaft and an experimental shaft in 1800, and the Altschacht , Conrad and Friedrich shafts in 1805 . In 1810 the water shafts were in operation. From 1815 , mining began in the Caroline , Abraham and Heide pits .
The shaft was 1819 Clemens geteuft . In 1827 he received a horse goblet . In 1828 the colliery was the largest in the Dortmund area and six length fields were awarded. A clay iron stone deposit was now suspected . In 1836 19,724 tons were extracted . The depth Bausch Eight Neptun they took in 1837 for the mold industry under the sole of Erbstollens in operation. The Clemens shaft was also sunk deeper below the bottom of the Erbstollen in 1838 and the construction of the die began.
In 1839 civil engineering began, the new Gotthelf shaft was sunk and the Traugott drainage shaft began to sink . In 1842, 26,644 tons were extracted. In 1844 the Gotthelf shaft was sunk deeper. On December 14, 1850, the mine was renamed "Zeche Glückauf & Erbstollen" because of the takeover of the Glückauf Erbstollen .
Glückauf & Erbstollen colliery
In the year of the takeover, 24,933 tons were exported from the Glückauf & Erbstollen colliery. In 1953 the Paula weather shaft was sunk from an old tunnel shaft. In 1855, 54,400 tons were exported. From 1856 onwards, there was little production in the Glückauf Erbstollen. In 1857 the new art of driving at the Gotthilf shaft was put into operation. From 1859 to 1862 the Traugott shaft was sunk to a depth of 314 meters. In 1860, 77,649 tons were extracted from the Glückauf & Erbstolln colliery, about 33,000 tons more than in 1855. In 1861, the Glückauf Erbstollen colliery dissolved the Venus colliery . In 1864 the Gotthelf shaft was sunk deeper and in 1865 the beginning of the devil was at the Giesbert shaft . This year 113,263 tons were exported. The first change of ownership took place in 1869, when von Romberg sold the mine to Strousberg.
In 1870 the Giesbert shaft was completed and a railway connection was added . The coal was transported over days to the Gisbert shaft by means of a siding. The dewatering on this shaft was put into operation in 1871. The second change of ownership took place in 1872, when the Dortmund Union acquired the mine. In the second half of 1873, a coking plant went into operation at the Gisbert shaft , which was probably privately owned by the Stutz & Isert company.
The maximum production was carried out in 1874, it was 342,084 tons. The Giesbert shaft was sunk deeper in 1875 and only 292,624 tons were extracted. In 1879 there was a break in the track Erbstollen, the break but was again aufgewältigt . On April 19, 1879, there was a firedamp explosion in the Erbstollen.
As a result, the Glückauf Erbstollen was no longer of any importance in 1880. In 1885 197,885 tons were removed from the colliery. The Treugott shaft was sunk to a depth of 490 m in the following years up to 1889 . In 1890 another 211,235 tons were mined. In 1891 the consolidation to the Glückauf civil engineering took place .
