The bill Gottfried Wilhelm was a coal - mine in Essen . The colliery was popularly called "misery in the forest" because of the disturbed camp conditions .
history
In the years 1771 to 1797 the first digs and explorations took place in the area of today's Baldeneysee and Schellenberger Forest . To 1860 was in four mines coal in tunneling mined (including Max von Schirp and Baldeney studs ). In 1824 Johann Gottfried Wilhelm Waldthausen became the fief of these mines. A few years after his death in 1859, these four mines were consolidated . In his honor, the new trade union formed was named Zeche Gottfried Wilhelm .
In 1903 the cross cut from the United Pörtingssiepen colliery to the north was made to resolve the Gottfried Wilhelm field , and in 1908 the breakthrough with the Carl Funke mine . In between, two shafts were sunk from 1907 . The company premises in the Schellenberger Forest could only be acquired by expropriating Baron von Vittinghoff-Schell. With the environment in mind, the mine was completely electrified. The processing plants were built in Rellinghausen outside the forest and were fed via a cable car. Funding began in 1909, and the weather was led to Carl Funke and Pörtingsiepen. In 1926 the Morgenröthe field was opened up.
In 1942 the coal mine at the Gottfried Wilhelm colliery ceased , instead the coal was transported underground to the Pörtingsiepen colliery . On July 1, 1958, the pit field was taken over by the Carl Funke colliery, the shafts remained open for cable travel and weather control until 1972.
