The Glücksstern colliery is a former hard coal mine in Bommern . The mine was located in the Rauendahl area, west of today's Kusekampstrasse.
Mining history
In 1748 the mutation for the mine field was inserted, then the mine went into operation. On April 16 of 1759 a was Langenfeld for the reduction in the seam Kreftenscheer awarded . The Längenfeld was to the east of the Muttental. The mine was in operation around 1831. In 1846 the mine was first in operation, then it was shut down. On May 20, 1862, the Glücksstern colliery consolidated below the St. Johannes Erbstollen sole to form the United Bommerbänker Tiefbau colliery . In 1863 a wing location of the St. Johannes Erbstollen was reached in the seam Kreftenscheer (also called Floez Glücksstern) . The mining area has now been through the St. John Erbstollen solved .
A joint operating plan was submitted to the mining authority on September 28th . The operating plan also applied to the Saturn and Jupiter mines managed by the Glücksstern colliery . In the operational plan it was regulated that the solution of the mines should take place via the Bommerbänker Erbstollen , for this purpose the Erbstollen should be put back into operation. In addition, the route from the Fortuna colliery to the east should be used and the drive in the Glücksstern field should be carried out in an easterly direction up to the level of the main road. The final length of the route would be 2165 meters. Initially, the Juno shaft of the Fortuna colliery to the east was selected for extraction . In 1872 was awarded the depths of seigeren lucky star started shaft. In 1873 the Juno shaft was mined. In 1875, mining began in the Glücksstern shaft.
Since the St. Johannes Erbstollen was partially broken , water could no longer be drained via the Erbstollen from 1881 . The safety pillar of the United Bommerbänker Tiefbau colliery broke through and the pit water flowed into the mine workings of the Vereinigte Bommerbänker Tiefbau colliery. From August 1886 the colliery was taken out of service. From the spring of 1887 the mine was put back into operation. On November 21, 1888, the Glücksstern colliery was shut down again. In 1954, the Erhard colliery was put into operation as a small colliery on the property of the Glücksstern colliery .

The first known production and workforce figures date from 1872, when five miners were employed at the mine who produced 568 tons of hard coal . In 1873, 18 miners extracted 17,311 bushels of hard coal. In 1874 341 tons of hard coal were mined. The colliery's maximum production was achieved in 1876 with 20 miners, 98,220 bushels of hard coal were mined. In 1881, 10 miners extracted 3,176 tons of hard coal. In 1883 the production sank to 1046 tons, this production was provided by 11 miners. In 1885 another drop in production to 676 tons, this production was provided by three miners. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1888, in that year 1029 tons of hard coal were extracted with four miners.
Erhard
The Erhard colliery in Bommern was a small mine , which was also known as the Erhard mine. The owner of this small mine was initially Heinrich Berger, later the mine was taken over by Bergbau GmbH Erhard. On June 14, 1954, the mine on Kusekampstrasse was put into operation. In the following year the maximum production was achieved with 11 miners, it amounted to 3763 tons of hard coal. In 1958, 3691 tons of hard coal were mined with 13 miners.

The Zeche Glückstern, also called Zeche Glücksstern 1, was a small mine in Bommern. The colliery was created on August 25, 1959 from the Erhard colliery by renaming. This small mine was initially owned by Theodor Krömer, after which the mine was initially taken over by Hermann Krüger and later by Glückstern GmbH. From 1960 onwards, shafts with a length of tonnes were sunk into the Kreftenscheer seam in line with the progress of mining, and the open-pit facilities were converted to reflect the progress of mining. In 1960 seven miners extracted 3892 tons of hard coal. In 1962, production increased slightly to 4,261 tons, with the same workforce. On September 15, 1963, operations ceased and on March 31 of the following year the mine was shut down. On December 7th, 1964, the mine was put back into operation, the duration of the commissioning is not known. The successor to the Glückstern 1 colliery was the Glückstern II colliery .
