The Hütterbank colliery is a former hard coal mine in Sprockhövel -Herzkamp-Schee. The mine was also known under the names Zeche Hütter Bank , Zeche Hüttenbank and Zeche Hutterbank . The Hütterbank colliery was one of 19 Sprockhövel collieries, which were also known as Crone'sches Revier.
history
The beginnings
On June 28, 1655, Hermann auf dem Siepen was given a general loan to a five- foot- thick coal bank, the Hutter Bank, which was later called Hütterbank and which is called Sieper Bank in the western continuation. One of the trades involved was the landowner Peter vom Schee. At the same time as this loan was given to the coal bank, permission was given to drive a tunnel . In addition, the mine owners received permission to dismantle the coal bank that had been approached. In 1662 there was a settlement between Peter von Schee and Hermann von Siepen to jointly dismantle the coal bank on the von Schee estate . On October 17, 1685 there was another award , which was then renewed on March 24, 1698 and January 25, 1725. There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1737, 1739 and 1775. In 1784 the Christsieper tunnel was mined.
The further operation
In July of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Hütterbank colliery was one of 63 mines that vom Stein visited on its eighteen-day journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. At the time of the visit, three shafts were in operation on the mine , two of which were used for extraction and one as a pure weather shaft . So that the mine could be better loosened , a cross passage was driven through the hollow . Vom Stein provided information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance of the miners employed there . He criticized the poor management of the mine and gave instructions to improve it accordingly.
In 1796 the mine had the shafts no. 9, no. 10 and no. 11 in the promotion . Shaft No. 9 had a depth of 28 holes , shafts 10 and 11 had a depth of 28½ holes. From this point on, the mine was part of the Obersteig Agats traffic area . In 1800 the Ludwig and Benjamin shafts and in 1805 the Cornelius shaft were in production. In 1810 the Neptun and Jacob shafts and in 1815 the Carl and Hortensia shafts were in operation. On May 15, 1817, the mine field was dismantled and the Hütterbank colliery was shut down. In 1824 it was added to the Sieper & Müller mine.
Promotion and workforce
Fatty coals , which were among the purest and fattest of the entire deposit, were extracted from the mine . These coals had an iron gray color with a semi-metallic sheen and a particularly low specific weight. The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1784, in that year the daily production was 118 ringel bituminous coal . In 1796, 1538 Ringel coal was mined. The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1799, when 22 miners were employed at the colliery. The last known workforce at the mine dates back to 1800, when 20 miners were employed in the mine. The last known production figures of the mine are from 1805, in that year 34,935 ringlets were produced.
