The Glücksfortgang colliery is a former hard coal mine in Schwerte-Westhofen . It was located in the Mühlenbachtal, formerly also known as Asenbergs Siepen, on the Ebberg. The mine was in operation for 40 years with a few interruptions.

history

The beginnings

On July 8th, 1778, a speculation of a seam was submitted to the mining authority. The point of discovery was precisely indicated on the basis of an investigation using a previously constructed mining shaft , which was located directly at the Kückelshausen farm. The muted length field was registered under the name Happy Louise. The following year, on August 25th, a suspicion was given to a mine field . This field was 815 meters west of Hof Kückhausen. This length field was muted under the name Louisenglück North Wing No. 1. The war council of Sudhausen acted as mother for both assumptions . In 1783, a union whose main trade was the Rathmann Springorum was granted the right to fortune progress. At the award ceremony , the Springorum trades were instructed by the chief miner Heintzmann as to where he was allowed to start his tunnel. However, at no time was there any notable mining activity from the prospecting sites, on the basis of which the speculations of the fields Happy Louise and Louisenglück North Wing No. 1 were submitted in 1778.

business

In 1783 a tunnel was set up in Asenbergs Siepen . However, at the instruction of the Springorum main trade, the tunnel was not set up at the location indicated at the time of the award , but further west. Then the tunnel was in the south ascended . Starting from the Mühlbach, the tunnel was driven to the south wing of the seam. Subsequently, dismantling was carried out. It was the about 0.6 meters powerful seam Seng Bank in Verhieb taken and dismantled from east to west. This approach led to a dispute with the owners of the Louisenglück colliery . The dispute lasted a long time and ended in 1790 before the Berggericht in Bochum. In 1790 a settlement was made with the Zeche Louisenglück , on the basis of which the previous mining area of ​​the Zeche Glücksfortgang was transferred to the Zeche Louisenglück. However, the owners of the Glücksfortgang colliery were allowed to use the tunnel they had excavated. In 1792 a perforated stone was set west of Kückhausen between the Glücksfortgang and Louisenglück collieries . The hole stone was set in the bush on an oak tree, about 118 meters east of the beginning of the shaft. As a result of the comparison, the Glücksfortgang mine was assigned to the eastern part of the field. However, no mining was carried out in an easterly direction. Presumably the mine was idle for a while afterwards, because it was put back into operation on August 1st, 1820. The Wilhelm Springorum trade was approved to put the Louisenglücker tunnel and the mine field of the already closed Louisenglück colliery back into operation under the name of the Glücksfortgang colliery. The Anton shaft of the Louisenglück colliery has been renamed to the beginning of the shaft . The deposit was further opened up by earlier mine workings. In addition, several shafts southeast of Hof Kückhausen were sunk and put into operation in the course of the seam . In 1821 further mining was carried out, the extraction took place via the shaft beginning. In 1823 the end of the shaft was mined. In March of the same year the mine was finally closed.

Todays situation

Today there is a perforated stone from the Louisenglück and Glücksfortgang collieries from the Glücksfortgang colliery. The names of the mines and the date 9/27/1792 are engraved on the stone. The stone that was set in 1792 is located on the northern Ebberg south of Gut Kückshausen. The stone used to stand about 70 m further south. In addition, parts of the old road, which served to facilitate the transport of the mined coal, have been preserved in some places. The path was laid out by the owner of the colliery with erected Ruhr sandstones. It connected the shafts above the brook with the road between Syburg and Westhofen.
