The Halter colliery in Heven is a former hard coal mine . Despite more than sixty years of mining history, little is reported about the mine. The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Westlich Witten .
Mining history
On March 4, 1836, a square was awarded . From June 1837 the colliery was put into operation and a tunnel was started to be excavated. The tunnel mouth hole was at +90 meters above sea level . Since the seam was disturbed, the digging work began again in 1840 , and the tunnel was also driven further. In 1841 the seam was still not worth building , the tunnel was further excavated. In 1845 the tunnel site was driven 1.5 Lachter north in the sandstone . The first production and workforce figures come from the year 1847, there were two to four miners on the mine who produced 141 bushels of hard coal . In 1850 a cross passage was driven to the south. In 1854 a shaft was sunk . After completion, the shaft had a depth of 10½ laughs . Mining began in 1855, and 299 tons of hard coal were mined with ten miners. These are also the last known production and workforce figures for the mine. In 1858, too, only minor mining was carried out. In 1860 new searches were carried out. In April of the following year, the Halter mine was shut down. In 1875, excavation work was carried out again, but the results were unsatisfactory. On June 14, 1901, the mine field was slammed into the Mansfeld colliery.
