The Glücksburg colliery is a former hard coal mine in Bochum- Brenschede. The mine has a history of almost a century and has been renamed several times. Mining activities took place in the mine field as early as the first half of the 18th century. In the field Glücksburg was the colliery old grudge tunneling operated, but verbrach the tunnel yet before the year 1766 and the operation was shut down. The Glücksburg colliery was not put into operation until the second half of the 18th century.

history

The first years as Glücksburg

The real history of the Glücksburg colliery began in 1766. That year, on January 12th, the test was made . The chamber secretary Christoph Friedrich Bermuth and Julius Philipp Heintzmann acted as mother . The prospect was based on a seam that had already been awarded in previous years. The inspection of the find took place on February 26th of the same year . Three shafts and the now silted tunnel mouth hole of the previous mine were found. In 1767 a tunnel was set up, this tunnel is probably the New Glücksburger Stolln . The tunnel mouth hole was located in the valley of the Stiepeler Bach in the area of ​​its confluence with the Lottenbach . The mouth hole was located at a height of 110 meters above sea ​​level and was therefore set 12.5 m lower than the Alte Mißgunst-Stolln. From this deeper construction of the tunnel, the trades promised themselves to encounter harder coal. The tunnel was in the north-west-north ascended . The tunnel was driven across the rock with a height of one pool and a width of 1/2 pool . In the same year the right to inheritance was granted . In 1769 was the promotion started. Due to the width of 1/2 Lachter, the tunnel only offered space for a conveyor track. There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1775. The Längenfeld Glücksburg was measured on October 31, 1783 . On June 17 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The mine was in operation at the time of the visit. Vom Stein provided information about the condition and performance of the mine in his protocol. In his protocol, he noted in particular that only a very small amount would be achieved on the mine, which should be increased somewhat if the rock remained very hard. He also stated that the tunnel would shortly be crossing some seams.

Further expansion and operation

In 1786 the tunnel reached a length of 240 meters. In 1791 the mine was already 1.5 years in time , the exact date is not given. In the course of 1791 the mine was put back into operation. In 1793, two were tonnlägige shafts geteuft . One shaft was 12 meters deep , the other was 32 meters. There was also another shaft that reached into the seam of hope. In 1796, shaft 1 was mined . In 1799 a shaft was sunk, which was given the name Schacht Hiob. In 1800, the shaft of Job and the pillar shaft in were promoting . In 1801 the tunnel reached a length of 620 meters. In 1801 the mine was closed in time limits . In 1803 the mine was closed. The reasons for this were on the one hand the lack of sales and on the other hand unclean coal. In 1808 , the Glücksburg colliery consolidated with the Gute & Neue Hoffnung colliery. On June 1, 1816, the Glücksburg colliery went back into operation independently and the tunnel continued to be excavated. In 1820 the Friedrich and Hope pits were in operation. In 1822 the excavation of the tunnel was stopped. At this point in time, the tunnel was 860 meters long, 780 meters of which had been driven to the north. In 1825, a sliding route was created through the Lottental to the coal defeat on the Ruhr. The sliding path had a length of 4149 meters and was equipped with wooden rails. The sliding path was used to transport the extracted coal to the Ruhr and from there to send coal to customers. The coal was transported with dogs that were pushed by transport workers. In the same year, the Moritz shaft and the Hope shaft were in operation. In 1830 the deeper Carl shaft was sunk. The shaft was 34 meters deep.

The time as United Glücksburg

In 1834 the Glücksburg colliery was renamed the United Glücksburg colliery. After it was renamed the United Glücksburg colliery, mining began in the August Seigeren mine in 1834. The shaft was located 180 meters east of Haus Brenschede and had a depth of 27 meters. The shaft was connected to the sliding route to the Ruhr for days . In 1836 the sliding path to the Ruhr was rebuilt, the sliding path now had a length of 1983 Lachtern . In 1838 the excavation of the Glücksburger Erbstolln began. In the following year, the production of the August shaft was switched from manual winches to single horse pegs. In 1840, the coal reserves above the bottom of the tunnel were largely depleted. For this reason it was necessary to tackle deeper parts of the reservoir . This could be done either by the fact that the trades went to an even deeper tunnel level, or that one went over to civil engineering . At the time, however, the mining officials were not convinced of civil engineering and preferred tunnel mining. On November 16, 1842, the Längenfeld United Glücksburg No. 1 and United Glücksburg No. 2 were awarded. In addition, the inheritance right for the Glücksburger Erbstolln was awarded. In the same year the mine was renamed the Zeche Glücksburger Erbstolln.

Operation as Glücksburger Erbstolln

After the United Glücksburg colliery was renamed the Glücksburger Erbstolln colliery, the August mine was mined in 1842. In the following year, together with the coal mine Vereinigte Neue Neßgunst, an encouragement was given for the further excavation of the St. Mathias Erbstollen . The purpose of this further excavation was the deeper solution of both pit fields . The St. Mathias Erbstollen reached a depth of 41 meters. As the owner of Erbstollens would not perform Weiterauffahrung of the gallery who were union Glücksburg forced to carry out the further excavation of Erbstollens in-house work. This was the only way to secure a new supply of coal, which would ensure operation for another 20 years. A length field was awarded on November 14, 1844. In 1845 the excavation of the Egmont tunnel began. The owners of the United Neue Neßgunst colliery, who were registered as co-trades , renounced co- ownership this year. Further alignment work on the St. Johannes seam took place on the south wing of the hollow . In the western field, the cross passage has already been driven to a length of 10 7/8 pools. On the north wing of the hollow, fixture work was carried out in the Good Hope seam. In 1846 the inheritance rights for the Glücksburger Erbstolln were granted again. In 1847, a substation was built in the August shaft . In 1848 , the Glücksburger colliery consolidated Erbstolln with other authorized persons and was renamed the Glücksburg colliery. In the same year, the wooden rails on the sliding route to the Ruhr were replaced by iron rails.

Further than Glücksburg

In the years 1847/48 the Glücksburger Erbstolln colliery was renamed the Glücksburg colliery. This was preceded by the consolidation of the persons entitled Glücksburg I, Glücksburger Erbstolln and Gute und Neue Hoffnung, who had already been awarded. In addition, the consolidated authorized persons were still combined with the Egmont Erbstollen. The production took place in the August shaft. In 1854, the Egmont Erbstollen was granted rights to the Glücksburg colliery, which made a deeper solution possible. In the same year work began on sinking the Anna shaft. The starting point for the Anna shaft was next to the August shaft, between Akazienweg and Tanneneck Street. In 1855 the Anna shaft was sunk to a depth of 66 meters and thus to the bottom of the Egmont Erbstollen. At this point, 111 laughs had to be drilled into the tunnel. At this point in time, four seams of different thicknesses were in operation . The thickness of one seam varied between 50 and 55 inches . The smallest seam was 28 inches high, the other two seams were 50 and 31 inches thick. At that time the mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Westlich Witten . In the following year (1856) mining began in the Anna shaft. The shaft was equipped with a steam-powered hoisting machine . The coal mined was brought to the coal defeat on the Ruhr via the 1983 Lachter long rail route. In the same year, production in the August shaft was stopped and work began on sinking the Christine weather and driving shaft, which took several tons. The Christine shaft was on the north wing of the Querenburg saddle. This year, a cross-blow from a rift occurred in the excavation firedamp on. There was a prolonged flame with a bluish flame around nine inches long, and there was no firedamp explosion.

In 1857 the Christine shaft was in operation up to the bottom of the Egmont Erbstollen. In the same year the mutation for the field Friedrich II was inserted. However, the mine had to cut its operations that year. Since the mine used the Ruhr as a transport route for the sale of the coal it had extracted and this river did not offer enough high water this year , this measure had become necessary. In 1860, work began on sinking the Heintzmann shaft, which took several tons. The starting point for this shaft was in the Gottessegen field, 1.7 kilometers east of the Glücksburg gallery. The field belonged to God's Blessing colliery , which was located to the east and bordered the marrow of the Julius Philipp colliery and was still in operation independently at that time. In the same year the Geviertfeld Friedrich II was awarded, the field had an area of ​​one square kilometer. In the following year, the breakthrough in the Heintzmann shaft took place with the Egmont tunnel excavated from here. The ascended for the connection of the two mines Erbstollenflügelort reached while a total length of 1,962 8.5 Lach Tern. In the same year, mining began in the Heintzmann mine. In addition, the earthworks for the connecting railway to Laer continued above ground. In order to cross Küpers Wiese up to the level of the abutment, 19 pillars were set. In 1862 the horse-drawn towing line to Bochum-Laer was put into operation. The train was a narrow-gauge railway for trams which to Pferdebahn handed Langendreer at the station. In 1863, the Glücksburg colliery consolidated with the Julius Philipp Erbstollen colliery and other authorized persons to form the Julius Philipp colliery .

Promotion and workforce

The coals extracted from the mine were strongly baking. The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1825, 1867 tons of hard coal were produced . The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1830, when twelve miners were employed at the mine, who produced 29,931 bushels of hard coal. After it was renamed the United Glücksburg colliery, 91,572 bushels of hard coal were mined in 1834. In the following year, 96,426 bushels of hard coal were mined. In 1840 the production sank to 53,486 bushels of hard coal. In 1842 the production rose to 159,351 bushels of hard coal. After renaming to Zeche Glücksburger Erbstolln, 4825 tons of hard coal were mined in 1845, the workforce was 37 to 46 miners. In the following year there was a slight increase in production to 5,764 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 42 to 51 miners.

After it was renamed to Zeche Glücksburg, 36 miners extracted 4589 tons of coal in 1848. In 1850, 52 miners produced 7191 tons of hard coal. In 1855 the workforce rose to 122 miners, who produced 40,715½ tons of Prussian coal. The maximum production of the Glücksburg colliery was provided in 1857, with 115 miners producing 20,403 tons of hard coal. In 1860 83 miners were still employed at the colliery, producing 16,910 tons of hard coal. In 1862, 124 miners were still employed at the mine, who produced 10,069 tons of hard coal. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1863, in that year 114 miners were still employed at the mine, who produced around 18,000 tons of hard coal.

Todays situation

Today is from the bay Anna bay building preserved. The building has since been converted into a residential building. However, the actual shaft building was lost during this conversion. The wall in front of the former shaft building is still partially preserved today. In addition, there are remains of the old spoil dump from the Heintzmann mine.
