history
The years as Glückauf Barmen
The Glückauf Barmen colliery goes back to the United Adolar colliery . After being swamped for a year and reopened in 1905, this colliery was bought in December 1908 by Albrecht Mayer (director of the Shamrock colliery ) and Berlin merchants. The name Zeche Vereinigte Adolar continued to be used. In addition, some of the mine fields adjacent to the colliery were bought by the same people at that time . The entire right then covered an area of three square kilometers. The Glückauf Barmen union was founded. The mine was named Zeche Glückauf Barmen and was also managed under mining law under this name. In the following years the daytime facilities of the mine were completely renewed. A wash house was built that was sized for 600 miners. In addition, a lamp room , a workshop and a forge were built. The bill already had a tonnlägigen shaft , a seigerer production well was geteuft . For the seigeren bay were headframe and a shaft house built. A carrier building was constructed and a carrier installed. In addition, the mine received a separation plant, a boiler house, a briquette factory and a loading hall. The briquette factory was equipped with two briquette presses, which together could produce over 43,000 tons of briquettes per year . In addition, a sewage treatment plant was built for the pit water and houses for the director, the operator and the machine operator .
In 1909 217 miners were employed at the colliery, who produced 30,690 tons of hard coal. In order to supply the mine’s machinery with electricity, a ten-year contract was signed with the Schwelm electricity company for the supply of electricity to the mine. In 1910 was in seigeren shaft at a depth of 137 meters (+33 m NN ), the second sole recognized in the same year was the promotion started. After the completion of the Seigeren Rudolph shaft, the mine now had two shafts, the two-ton weather shaft 2 and the Rudolph shaft. The Rudolph shaft was used as the main production shaft. There were lean coals in the form of piece coals promoted with various nut sizes. In addition, fine coals were promoted, which were processed into briquettes in the briquette factory. In the briquette factory, industrial briquettes with a unit weight of three kilograms and egg-shaped briquettes were produced.
The time after the renaming
In 1910 the Glückauf Barmen trade union was renamed the Barmen trade union. The administrative headquarters of the Barmen union was in Berlin at Friedrichstrasse 72. The name was changed on February 11th, and the mine was still called Glückauf Barmen under mining law. In the course of the year the railway line of the Kleinbahn Bossel – Blankenstein was completed. In November of the same year, the mine also received a rail connection. The coal to be transported has been loaded on the Zechenplatz since November 18th and then transported by small train. After the colliery was renamed to Zeche Barmen, there was a renewed consolidation of the Zeche Barmen with the length fields Ellypse, Mina, Harmonie , Scheideweg, Verborgenglück, Schwan and Adolar. The entire mine field now had an area of eight square kilometers. From November 1911 the coal was also transported to Barmen via Schee. There were two levels in the Rudolf shaft, the 1st level was at a depth of 86 meters and the 2nd level at 139 meters. The 2nd level in the 2 ton-long weather shaft was at a shallow depth of 300 meters. The promotion took place in the main lines with pit horses , which were used per shift up to four horses.
In 1913 four weather shafts were in operation. In the following year, the ton-long weather shaft 2 was dropped. Due to multiple geological disturbances , operational disruptions occurred at the mine more and more often. As a result, the high expectations that the owners had placed on the mine could not be met. At first, attempts were made to compensate for the difficulties by making personnel changes in the plant management. In the period from 1910 to 1917 the mine had a total of six different works directorates. In 1916 the Lorraine union from Bochum acquired a stake in the Barmen union. In 1919 the Lorraine union took over all of the Barmen union's kuxe . On March 24, 1921, there was consolidation with the Alte Haase colliery . Bergwerksgesellschaft Alte Haase mbH took over management. On August 1, 1924, the mine was finally closed. As late as 1924, most of the daytime facilities were dismantled and the underground routes were discontinued.
Promotion and workforce
The first known production and workforce figures after the union was renamed come from 1910, when 305 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 37,934 tons of hard coal. In 1911 there were already 411 employees on the mine, the production was around 100,000 tons of hard coal. In the following year, 513 people were already employed at the mine, 422 of them underground. The manpower and shift work this year was 0.862 tons. The maximum production was achieved in 1913 with 446 miners; 119,050 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1915 the production fell to 72,612 tons, this production was provided by 258 miners. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1920, when around 74,000 tons of hard coal were extracted with 340 miners.

In the mining area of the coal mine Glückauf Barmen one was in the 1950s small coal mine in the tunneling operation, the mine had the same name as the 1909-powered engineering bill . The mine was initially owned by Franz Blättler, and Heinrich Dunker took over the mine on February 1, 1958. The colliery was put into operation on September 17th, 1951. To the east of the Pleßbach in the area of the former Adolar colliery, near-surface mining was carried out. On June 18, 1958, the Glückauf Barmen colliery was shut down, followed by the Glückauf Barmen II colliery.
Promotion and workforce
The first known mining and workforce figures for the colliery come from 1952, with 42 miners 9,561 tons of hard coal were mined. The maximum production was achieved in 1954 with 48 miners, 14,409 tons of hard coal were produced. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1955, with 49 miners, 14,358 tons of hard coal were extracted.
Glückauf Barmen II
The Glückauf Barmen II colliery in Sprockhövel-Hiddinghausen-Hilgenstock was the successor to the Glückauf Barmen colliery, which was closed in 1958. It was also a small mine that was operated in tunnel construction, the owner of this small mine was Theo Krömer. On September 1, 1958, the colliery, presumably also east of the Pleßbach on the former pit of the Adolar colliery, was put into operation. In the first year, 11 miners extracted 1,559 tons of hard coal. The maximum extraction was achieved with 14 miners in 1960, 4129 tons of hard coal were extracted. These are also the last known production and workforce figures for the mine. On December 31, 1963, the Glückauf Barmen II colliery was shut down.
What is left
Today there are still two buildings of the former colliery that are used as residential buildings. The buildings are at the end of the driveway from Stoltenbergstrasse to the south, they are a station on Pleßbachweg . A notice board provides information about the history of the mine.
