The Hammelsbeck colliery is a former hard coal mine that was located in the area of the city limits of Essen-Fulerum and Mülheim- Humboldthain. The mine used to be called the Humboldt Colliery. In the second half of the 19th century, the mine was at times one of the most important hard coal mines in the Düsseldorf administrative region .
history
The beginnings
Already before the year 1732 coal was dug in the border area of Fulerum, Mülheim and Margarethenhöhe . In 1732, an abandoned former mine known as Hammelsbeck was reopened. From around 1765, lean coal , known as lean seams , was mined . A water art was put into operation around 1790 . Around the year 1840 the mine was preserved in time . On July 9th, 1841, the Längenfeld Hammelsbeck was awarded . In 1847 the tunnel operations Hoppenkuhle, Hammelsbeck, Klefflappen , Sonnenschein and Sonderwerk consolidated into the Hammelsbeck colliery. The authorized ones comprised two length fields and two quarter fields . In 1852 the mine was still on time. In 1856 work began on digging a shaft for the transition to civil engineering .
The other years
In 1857, the weather bed was set at a depth of 38 laughs . In the same year, work began on laying the horse-drawn tram to the Essen-Mülheimer Bahn. At that time the mine was part of the Essen Mining Authority. In 1858, the second level was set at a depth of 109 meters. On this first deep sole were crosscuts attached to the north and south and partially ascended . When driving the crosscuts, several seams were cut through, with which a daily extraction of 2000 bushels was possible. Promotion began in the same year . In 1859 the field sunshine was awarded, the shaft reached a depth of 138 meters that year. On the first excavation level, the main crosscuts were driven further south and north. The main crosscuts on the weather bed were only driven to the south. The Blumendelle seam was opened up with the southern crosscuts. The mine had only a small extent to the north. In 1860, the operation took place in four mighty, hanging seams. The lying seam of the find had not yet been resolved at this point in time. In the same year there were strong water inflows. In order to expand the very short mine field in the north , the Hammelsbeck mine union endeavored to purchase additional fields. However, it was not possible to expand the mine field either through acquisitions or consolidation . In the following year, two seams were driven into on the first building base with the southern cross passage. One of the seams was 22 inches thick and the other seam was 29 inches thick. The seams could not be assigned to any known seam section. At that time the mine was part of the Mülheim mining district . In 1862, the Tutenbank seam was reached on the first level with the northern cross passage. In addition, a weather shaft was sunk this year. This shaft served as a connection to a weather storm and was sunk to a depth of 40 meters. The southern cross passage was driven this year to a length of 216½ Lachtern. The first main fault was cut through and a 16 inch thick seam was approached. In the following year the main shaft was sunk to a depth of 80 3/8 pools. During the sinking work, the 42 inch thick seam of Blumendelle was cut. This year the southern cross passage reached a length of 282 laughs. The layers penetrated in the process assumed an ever flatter position in a southerly direction . The collapse in the area of the face of the cross passage was only eleven gons . In 1864 the main shaft was sunk deeper and the third level was added at a depth of 176 meters. In 1865 a joint venture with the Humboldt colliery was formed. This joint venture operated under the name Zeche Vereinigte Humboldt. Despite this joint operation, both mines were still in operation independently. In the following year, the Hammelsbeck colliery was completely taken over by the Humboldt colliery.
Promotion and workforce
The first known extraction and workforce figures date from 1860. In that year, 250 miners extracted 62,031 tons of hard coal , after which extraction fell. In 1861, 260 employees produced 239,692 Prussian tons . The last known production and workforce figures come from the year 1865. In this period, 245,797 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined with 280 employees.
The predecessor mines
Hoppenkuhle
The Hoppenkuhle colliery in Essen-Fulerum was also known as the Happenkuhle colliery . In 1822 the old pillar was dismantled. From May of that year the mine was in deadlines. In March of the year 1826 the mine field was prepared further, in September of the same year the mining began. While mining was still going on in 1830, the mine was in operation and in time limits in 1832. A mine field was awarded in 1839, but it is not known whether mining was carried out in this mine field. In 1847 the Hoppenkuhle colliery consolidated with other collieries to form the Hammelsbeck colliery. This year, the rightful consisted of two length and two square fields . In 1861 a small shaft with a depth of three to four holes was sunk, after which there is no further information about the mine.
sunshine
Very little is reported about the Sunshine Colliery in Essen-Fulerum. In 1819 a pump was installed. At least from the year 1820 mining was carried out on the mine. In 1847 it was consolidated with other collieries to form the Hammelsbeck colliery.
Special work
The Sonderwerk colliery was located in Mülheim-Heißen. The colliery's tunnel mouth hole was located in Humboldthain in a valley on Sunderweg. Around the year 1839 the mine was in operation, it became a tunnel to the west ascended . In 1841 a length field was awarded. In 1847 the Sonderwerk colliery, presumably under the tunnel sole, consolidated with other collieries to form the Hammelsbeck colliery. In 1861, a three to four Lachter deep shaft was sunk, presumably in the remainder of the rights. No information is given about the time thereafter.
