The Glückswinkelburg colliery in Bochum- Brenschede is a former hard coal mine . The colliery was also known under the names Zeche Glückwinkelburg and Zeche Glückwinkelsburg . The union of the Glückswinkelburg colliery was one of the founding members of the Rheinisch-Westfälischen coal syndicate .
Mining history
In 1798 the prospect for the mine field was inserted, but initially no colliery was put into operation. In 1834 several authorized persons were consolidated . On November 14th, 1845, a small square with an area of 0.25 square kilometers was awarded , after which, presumably, little mining was carried out above the St. Mathias Erbstollen sole . On November 22nd, 1873, the Glückswinkelburg colliery consolidated below the bottom of the St. Mathias Erbstollen into the Brockhauser Tiefbau colliery . In 1875 the mine field was divided into Glückwinkelsburg above the St. Mathias Erbstollen sole and Glückwinkelsburg below the St. Mathias Erbstollen sole . The Glückwinkelsburg field under the St. Mathias Erbstollen sole was added to the Brockhauser colliery, in the Glückwinkelsburg field above the St. Mathias Erbstollen sole there was no significant reduction after the division.
In 1889 civil engineering was started, a tonnage shaft was sunk near today's Dragonfly Path . The shaft reached a deeper depth of 75 meters and thus reached to the bottom of Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen. In 1890 a barrel-length weather shaft was sunk. This shaft had a deeper depth of 73 meters. Promotion began in the same year . A narrow-gauge railway was built to Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen. In 1892, a breakthrough was made to the north on the first level into the field of Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen. The breakthrough served to drain the pit water with the St. Mathias Erbstollen. In the same year a second weather shaft was sunk on the southern field boundary, the shaft reached a depth of about 35 meters. In 1893 three shafts were in operation. In 1896 there were three daily overcuts and two shafts in operation. In the same year it came to the union with the length fields Westermanns Leibzucht Nr. 1 and Westermanns Leibzucht Nr. 2 of the Zeche Vereinigte Leibzucht . The rightful now comprised 2 length fields and a square and had an area of 1.3 square kilometers.
In 1897 the mining and construction took place mainly in seams No. 1, No. 2 and Großebank. In addition, the Längenfeld Westermanns Leibzucht No. 2 was opened up and a 20 meter deep weather shaft was sunk. At that time the mine belonged to the Hattingen mining area . In 1899, a lease agreement was signed with Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen for mining under the first level. In 1900, poor quality coals were found . In 1901 the old Egmont Erbstollen sole was cleared over a length of 50 meters, the reason was the water solution in the pit water. A cut was made from the 1st level and the 3rd level was set at a depth of 144 meters. The 2nd sole was no longer attached. On January 1, 1902, the production was stopped and the mine field aligned to connect to the Berneck colliery . A blind shaft was created from the 3rd level and the 4th level was added at a depth of 217 meters. In 1903 a cross passage was built as an auxiliary structure through the pit field of the Julius Philipp colliery. The cross passage had a length of 1400 meters, a breakthrough to the 4th level of the Berneck colliery was created. The remaining coal mined was conveyed through the Berneck colliery. On December 31, 1904, the Glückswinkelburg colliery was finally shut down. The sections on the 4th level in the pit field of the Julius Philipp colliery were dammed . In 1905 the day shaft was backfilled and the day facilities demolished. In 1920 the rights to the United Monastery Bush colliery were added to the United Monastery Bush colliery and in 1928 the rights to the United Gibraltar Erbstollen colliery were added.
Promotion and workforce
The first workforce and sponsorship figures are named for the year 1890. With 31 miners , 2409 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1895 the production rose to 17,521 tons, this production was provided by 72 miners. The colliery's maximum production was achieved in 1900 with 279 miners, 69,584 tons of hard coal were mined. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1902, in that year 599 tons of hard coal were extracted with twelve miners.
