The Glocke colliery is a former hard coal mine in Dahlhausen . The tunnel mouth hole of the Glocke colliery was located in Dahlhausen and led from the street "Im Stapel" (not far from today's cemetery), opposite the house No. 23, north-east into the Karbon ( only a few meters south are the remains of the United General & Erbstollen colliery ) . The tunnel opening of the Glocke colliery was a few meters below the current road profile. The colliery is probably identical to the United Schelle colliery .
Mining history
In the middle of the 18th century the company Karl Freiherr von Koenig and consorts carried out prospecting work on the farmstead of the farmer Hinterste Cassenberg . On June 27, 1764, a 2.3 meter thick coal seam was exposed. The seam was the sunshine seam. On the same day the suspicion was given . A field with a length of 1258 meters was coveted as a pit field. The mine field extended from the farm of the farmer Cassenberg to the Köllermanns garden. Operations began in 1768. In 1771 the mine field fell again into the mountain free , as the recess money to be paid had not been paid. In 1774 the operation was resumed, there was a shaft . In the same year the mine field was measured. In the same year, the coal delivery on the Ruhr to Kleve began. In 1779 the colliery was out of operation again and in 1781 again in operation. In 1782 another shaft went into operation, it had a depth of 30 puddles . For this year, the only known production figures originate the mine, there were 33,600 Ringel coal promoted. On June 3 of 1784 the mine was in operation by the Baron von Stein traveled . At this point in time the mine was very efficient, as four tusks mined 12.6 tons of coal per shift , which resulted in an average of 3.15 tons per man and shift. At that time the general average was 2.2 tons per man per shift. During his visit, the Freiherr vom Stein criticized the non-functional door frame extension . The cap was not full in the throat of the stamp . As a result, the expansion was not able to fully transfer the mountain pressure on the cap into the stamp.
In 1793, a ton-long shaft was put into operation in Oberdahlhausen . The shaft was 44 meters deep. The starting point of the shaft was to the east of Primus Sprunges, on today's Meinholtsweg. The shaft was in operation until 1795. In 1796, shafts 3 and 4 were dismantled . Towards the end of the 18th century, the tunnel reached the Primus jump . After the jump, the seam was no longer at the same level. An attempt was first made to find the seam behind the fault . Although new seams were found here, the search for the sunshine seam was unsuccessful. The applications for the granting of mining rights for the newly found seams failed due to objections from the neighboring mines General and Hasenwinkel. In 1800 dismantling was initially carried out, from August of the same year the mine was shut down again. From January 1801 the colliery was in operation. On July 19 of the following year, the Glocke colliery was shut down again. In 1860 a mining contract was signed, in this contract it was agreed that the United General & Erbstollen colliery would mine the bell seam from the Berger shaft below the bottom of the tunnel . After 1945 the Glocke colliery was once again in operation as a small Glocke mine.

The small mine Bell was one of the many tunnels mines the type of a small coal mine in the south of Bochum , which after the end of World War II as mine Buckets of coal supply to the so-called economic miracle contributed. It was operated by a consortium that united several unions and small mines, including the Flora mine . Initially it was owned by the Centrum union, and later by the Hausbach union.
In October 1951, the small mine, which was located on the street Am Birkenwald, was put into operation. The colliery was located on farmer Wibbecke's pasture next to the sports field. On April 15, 1952, the mine was registered by miners. Like almost all small mines, Glocke was one of the first victims of the coal crisis . In 1960 the small mine Glocke was shut down.
Promotion and workforce
The first known funding and workforce figures for the small mine date back to 1953, with 28 miners producing 3,060 tons of hard coal . The maximum extraction was achieved in 1955 with 27 miners, 8929 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1958, three miners were employed at the colliery, but there was no production. The last known production figures for the mine come from 1959, when three miners extracted seven tons of hard coal.
Current condition
A walled-in tunnel entrance still reminds of the Glocke colliery. This access is in Dahlhausen, at the top of the Weitmarer saddle, in the street Im Stapel. However, this walled-up tunnel access is a tunnel mouth hole from the war or post-war period, because the former tunnel of the Glocke colliery was located in the same place, but a few meters deeper than this walled-up tunnel access, which is still visible today. The walled-in tunnel access is station 2 of the mining hiking trail through the historic Dahlhausen mine. There is an information board in front of the walled-up entrance.
