The Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery in the Vormholz -Hardenstein district of Witten is a former hard coal mine . The mine was also known as the United Gutglück & Wrangel colliery , originally the mine was also known as the Am Hardenstein colliery and around 1920 just called the Wrangel colliery . The mine resulted from the consolidation of two independent mines.

history

The beginnings

On December 14, 1884 , the two independent collieries Gutglück and Wrangel consolidated into the colliery Gut Glück & Wrangel. Another date given for the consolidation is April 24, 1885. Heinrich Beckmann, previously Steiger at the Herberholz colliery , was registered as a sole trade. Heinrich Beckmann had already planned in advance to create a tunnel at the large crossroads in the Hardensteiner Tal . Following the consolidation, the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery was initially out of service. Since the area on which Heinrich Beckmann wanted to build the tunnel belonged to Freiherr von Westerholt, he needed the permission of the property owner. The Freiherr von Westerholt demanded a deposit and a lease for this . The mine was put back into operation in 1885, but only exploration work was carried out on parts of the seam that had already been dismantled . Due to these failures, operations were stopped again after a short time.

The other years

In 1898 there was initially a change of ownership. The merchants Heinrich Pähler from Herne and Ewald Loose from Herbede became new trades. On April 20 of the same year the mine was put back into operation. An old tunnel was cleared, the drainage of the pit water and the coal extraction took place via the union tunnel . In the following years, a field railway track was laid parallel to the track of the Ruhr Valley Railway to the Dünkelberg brickworks. In 1899 Carl Deilmann from Dortmund-Kurl became co-owner of Gut Glück & Wrangel. In 1901 a coal towing railway to the Bommern station was put into operation. In 1904 the mine had been cut over several days, the construction site had the dimensions 140 meters in a stroke and 308 meters in a cross cut. In 1907 the Längenfeld Cleverbank was opened. In July 1908, the promotion was stopped due to lack of sales. From January 1909 the mine was put back into operation, there was a tunnel and a daytime overhaul. On October 1st of the same year operations were stopped again. The mine was also out of order in 1910. On January 31, 1911, the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery was acquired by the Cleverbank colliery and a joint venture was formed. Operation was then resumed.

On April 25 of the same year, the mine field of the unused United Hardenstein colliery was leased. First of all, following the lease, exploration work began in the Cleverbank field, but the work was postponed shortly afterwards. In 1913 exploration work in the Cleverbank field was stopped due to geological faults. The Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery now had three tunnels and two days of excavation , the construction site had the dimensions 550 meters across and 400 meters across. The mine was initially in operation in 1914, and was decommissioned in May. From June of the same year it was initially in operation again for a few months and operations were stopped again from August. Operations resumed on January 1st of the following year and a tunnel was excavated in the Cleverbank field. In 1916, mining began in the United Hardenstein field. On April 1, 1917, the mining in the United Hardenstein field was ended and the lease was also terminated. In 1918, a day cut was created in Flöz Geitling, in October of the same year a joint venture was formed with the St. Johannes Erbstollen , the Frielinghaus colliery and the United Hermann colliery . The St. Johannes Erbstollen was already out of service at this point, the Frielinghaus and Vereinigte Hermann collieries had already been closed. After the mines were taken over, from 1919 onwards, Gut Glück & Wrangel began to work more intensively in the old mine fields.

The last few years

From May 1, 1919, the mining took place via a joint shaft with the United Hermann mine , the shaft was 40 meters deep . The United Hermann colliery was already back in operation at this point, and the workforce of the United Hermann Frielinghaus colliery was also employed. After 1920 the best parts of the deposit were mined. On December 31, 1921, the Oberste Frielinghaus field was leased. In 1922, the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery had three tunnels and one shaft shared with the United Hermann colliery. In 1923, the construction site had the dimensions of 465 meters on strike and 394 meters across. In 1924 the lease for the Oberste Frielinghaus field ended. On October 31, 1925, the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery was shut down. With the shutdown, the operating community was dissolved again. As a result, every mining trade union was now independent again. The Taugenicht colliery and later the Gut Glück colliery were built on the mine field of the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery .

Promotion and workforce

The first production and workforce figures come from the year 1898, there were twelve miners in the mine who produced around 1900 tons of hard coal . In 1900 there were 17 employees at the mine who produced 2561 tons of hard coal. In 1903 the production rose to 7,324 tons of hard coal, this production was provided with 26 employees. In 1905, 27 employees produced 5,720 tons of hard coal. In 1909 there was a drastic drop in production, with four miners producing 594 tonnes of hard coal. In 1911 the production rose again to around 3000 tons of hard coal, this production was provided by 18 miners. In 1913 production increased further to 4671 tons, 18 people were employed that year. In 1915, 16 miners extracted 3,046 tons of hard coal. In 1918 the production fell again to 1,714 tons of hard coal, the workforce rose slightly to 21 miners. In 1920, 84 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 20,548 tons of hard coal. The maximum production was achieved in 1922, with 126 miners producing 25,611 tons of hard coal. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1925, 3373 tonnes of hard coal were mined with 33 miners.

Good luck

The Gutglück colliery was a mine in Hardenstein, not much is reported about this colliery. There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1748. In 1795 a tunnel was set up at 160 meters above sea level . The tunnel was dropped again in 1831. In 1884, Längenfeld Carthäuserloch , which had fallen into the mountain-free area , was re- awarded . In addition there was the Reiger mine field . The fields were awarded under the name Gutglück. In the same year or the following year, the Zeche Gutglück consolidated with the Zeche Wrangel to form the Zeche Gut Glück & Wrangel.
