The Hasenwinkel colliery was a hard coal mine in Dahlhausen . The mine was also known as the United Hasenwinkel colliery . The Hasenwinkel colliery is one of the oldest mines in the Ruhr area . The mine was one of the most important mines in the Arnsberg administrative region in the second half of the 19th century . The Hasenwinkel colliery was one of the founding members of the Association for Mining Interests.

history

The beginnings

Mining was already being carried out in the 17th century on the fields of what would later become the "Hasenwinkel" colliery . On February 14, 1854 , the Hasenwinkel-Himmelscroner Erbstolln and Vereinigte Kirschbaum & Neumark collieries consolidated with the Fortuna and Johann Christoph mine fields below the bottom of the mine to form the Hasenwinkel mine. The mine had the Constanz August shaft in operation as a production shaft. In the same year was tonnlägiger auxiliary shaft to a depth of 21 meters geteuft . The shaft was operated with a hand reel . In order to be able to coke the coal extracted, a private coking plant in Dahlhausen was operated by the Liebknecht trade . Alignment work continued in 1856 . In the field of the closed Fortuna colliery, the work for a seigeren shaft began. In the same year the production started, partly coal iron stone was also mined . At that time the mine was part of the Dahlhausen mining area .

The other years

The tunnel shaft was sunk in 1857. The shaft was at the Bochum-Hattinger Chaussee set . It was named Fortuna Shaft and was sunk near the auxiliary shaft. The shaft brought a dismantling height of 30 laughs . In the same year Schacht Wilhelm was in promotion. The operation of the mine had to be severely restricted this year. The reason for this measure was the standstill of the Ruhr shipping, since the Hasenwinkel colliery made its sales largely via the Ruhr. Overland sales could only be improved by operating the Fortuna shaft. The Großerebenbank seam was opened up through the shaft. The seam was 80 inches thick . In 1858, the Fortuna 2 shaft began to be sunk. The shaft was set up in Weitmar . In the following year, the Fortuna 2 shaft was penetrated at a depth of 42 meters with the bottom of the General Gallery No. 2 . The poor shipping on the Ruhr and the depressed commercial conditions of the mine also had an impact on the efficiency of the mine this year. In the same year, a steam hoisting machine was installed at the Fortuna 2 shaft . The machine had an output of 15 hp . That same year, the bay over was day a horse-drawn railway transport physically connected to the Ruhr.

In 1861 the sinking work for the Julius Philipp shaft began. The shaft was named after the miner Julius Philipp Heintzmann and served as a transition to civil engineering . The shaft was set up in the Polterberg 10 area. The shaft had a rectangular shaft disc measuring 22.2 " by 15" and was sunk this year to a depth of 5½ Lachtern. The dismantling took place this year in the area of ​​the Fortuna, Constanz August and Friedrich Wilhelm shafts. Over the course of the day, work was continued on the horse-drawn railway to connect the underground construction shaft with the Witten-Duisburg railway. In the following year, the Julius Philipp shaft reached the bottom of the General Gallery No. 2 at a depth of 29 meters. The first level was set at a depth of 63 meters (+28 m above sea ​​level ). The dewatering in the shaft could be carried out using barrels . During the sinking work, the Diomedes, Ermine and Ida seams were cut through with the shaft. In the same year the Rotterdam field was acquired and the Hinnerck field lent . The right now covered an area of ​​3.7 km 2 . In 1863 the second level was set at a depth of 126 meters (−35 m above sea level). The shaft received a Malakoff tower in the same year . The western tunnel wing location in the Peaceful Neighbor field was opened by seven laughs . The wing location in the Großebank seam was driven three holes further to the east. This year the Geviertfelder Vereinigte Kirschbaum & Neumark No. 1, Vereinigte Kirschbaum & Neumark No. 2 and Louis were awarded.

The further operation

In 1864 the old August tunnel was cleared . The shaft had been sunk on the Sonnenschein Adit and was located 200 meters north of the Julius Philipp shaft. The shaft was required for ventilation by means of natural weather draft . In the same year the fields Anna Maria, Diomedes, Fortuna, Fortuna Beilehn, Hinnerk, Kupferplatte, Rotterdam, Vereinigte Kirschbaum & Neumark Nr. 1, Vereinigte Kirschbaum & Neumark Nr. 2 and Louis were consolidated into the United Hasenwinkel colliery. The rights holders now covered an area of ​​3.5 km 2 . The August gallery went into operation the following year. The Julius Philipp shaft was also put into operation. In the Hasenwinkel-Himmelscroner Erbstolln, a 584 Lachter long section of the tunnel was cleared again. This section was provided with a quarry stone wall over a length of 170 pools . After the section of the tunnel had been reworked, the general tunnel No. 2 was dropped between the tunnel mouth hole and the Theresia shaft . August shaft was provided with brick walling from the bottom of the tunnel up to a height of 20 Lachter . In the same year, the horse-drawn tram to Dahlhausen station went into operation. In 1866 the production in the shafts Fortuna 1, Fortuna 2, Friedrich Wilhelm and Constanz August was stopped. Constanz August shaft was still used as a weather shaft. In 1867, which was union -old law in a thousand-piece union new law converted. The new union was registered under the name of the Hasenwinkel union. In the same year, the remaining coal reserves were mined above the tunnel floor. Above ground, the operations area at the Julius Philipp shaft received a railway connection using a standard-gauge railway. In 1869 the excavation work on the Julius Philipp shaft was resumed and the shaft was sunk deeper. The third level was set at a depth of 177 meters (−86 m above sea level). A weather furnace was installed underground at the August shaft. In order to be able to continue mining above the bottom of the tunnel, a seigerer shaft was sunk in the Fortuna field in the Weitmar district. The shaft reached a depth of 75 meters. In 1870, the assembly of a 95 inch drainage machine began at the Julius Philipp shaft . In 1873 the shaft in the Fortuna field was closed. In 1876 the Eisensteinzeche Korthaus was taken over. As a result, the rights holders now covered an area of ​​4.3 km 2 . In 1881 the 3rd level sank due to heavy rainfall. In the following year, the sinking work on the Julius Philipp shaft was resumed and the shaft was sunk deeper. The 4th level was set at a depth of 259 meters (−168 m above sea level). In 1885, the Gustav Schulz private coking plant went into operation near the colliery site. In 1887 a contract was signed with the Zeche Prinz Regent, which enabled the Zeche Prinz Regent to dismantle the Längenfeld Fortuna.

Due to the increased demands on ventilation, the Constanz August shaft was no longer sufficient. In 1888 the sinking work for a new weather shaft began. The shaft was set up near the Julius Philipp shaft. In the following year the new weather shaft went into operation up to the first level. The new weather shaft was so powerful that the small weather shafts were no longer needed. In the same year, the Constanz August weather shaft was shut down. At the same time, the August shaft was shut down. Both shafts were then filled . In 1890, the Bochum association acquired all of the union's kuxe and dissolved them. The purchase price for all Kuxe was 8.5 million marks. In the same year, the sinking work on the Julius Philipp shaft was resumed and the shaft was sunk deeper. After the takeover by the Bochumer Verein, the daytime facilities of the mine were revised. The aim was to increase the efficiency of the mine. In 1891 a cable car was installed to the United Maria Anna & Steinbank colliery and from there to the Bochumer Verein. The cable car was three kilometers long and was used to transport the coal extracted from Hasenwinkel. In the same year, the 5th level was set in the Julius Philipp shaft at a depth of 356 meters (−265 m above sea level). In 1897 the Holtbrügge field, which had a size of one square kilometer, was acquired. The mine was operated between the 3rd level, the 4th level and the 5th level. It was mined in the Anna Maria, Charlotte, Großebank, Nebenbank and Silberbank seams. The fixture work in the individual construction departments also continued. In 1898 there were six seams in operation . These six seams had a thickness (mining) | thickness of 0.9 to two meters. Four of the seams had a recovery pack of 0.05 to 0.3 meters, two of the seams were without recovery packs. In the same year, the sinking work on the Julius Philipp shaft was resumed and the shaft was sunk deeper. At that time the mine was part of the Hattingen mining area. In 1899 the 6th level was set in the Julius Philipp shaft at a depth of 456 meters (−365 m NN).

The last few years

Although the Bochumer Verein had made large investments in the mine, the expectations that had been placed in the mine were not met. In the Hasenwinkeler and general troughs, the coal reserves only reached a depth of 500 meters. The coal reserves reaching up to this depth had largely been depleted at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1904 the mine was sold to the union of the peaceful neighbor mine . The purchase price for the mine was 3.9 million marks. As a result of the sale, the Hasenwinkel colliery was merged into the German-Luxembourgish mining and smelting company . In the same year the Julius Philipp shaft was sunk deeper. In the following year, the cable car to the United Maria Anna & Steinbank colliery was dismantled and locomotives were used instead of horses on the horse-drawn connection and the eastern part of the field was transferred to the Prinz Regent colliery. In 1907 the 7th level was set in the Julius Philipp shaft at a depth of 596 meters (−505 m above sea level). In the following year, a breakthrough was made on the 7th level with the peaceful neighbor colliery. In 1909 the weather shaft received a new pit fan . In 1919 the mining operations at Hasenwinkel were discontinued. The system was then used as an auxiliary system by Friedlicher Nachbar for a few years. The coal mined on Hasenwinkel was conveyed underground to Friedlicher Nachbar and from there in the shaft to the surface. In April of the same year, the Hasenwinkel coking plant was shut down. In 1923 the Hasenwinkel colliery was completely shut down. The daytime facilities were demolished in the following years. In 1926, the mine building of Hasenwinkel was dammed watertight against the mine building of Peaceful Neighbor . On December 28 of that year, which was mine drainage set to Hasenwinkel and the mines then drank from. The Julius Philipp shaft was dropped and filled .

Promotion and workforce

Very good and lumpy coal was extracted from the mine . In addition, heavy forged coal was promoted. The first funding and workforce figures come from the year 1856, in that year 322,965 Prussian tonnes of hard coal were mined with 417 miners . In 1860 the production rose to 82,674 tons of hard coal, this production was carried out with 505 employees. In 1861, 450,698 Prussian tons were extracted with 470 employees. In the following year, 321,517 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined with 401 employees. In 1865, with 565 employees, 107,880 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1870 the production increased again to 158,537 tons of hard coal, this production was provided with 660 employees. In 1875, 248,872 tons of hard coal were mined, the workforce was 1067 employees. In 1880, 902 employees produced 269,252 tons of hard coal. In 1885, 908 employees produced 274,473 tonnes of hard coal. In 1890, 266,148 tons of hard coal were mined, the workforce was 1048 employees. In 1900 311,227 tons of hard coal were mined with 1668 employees. The maximum funding was provided in 1905. With 1514 employees, 393,218 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1922, 822 people were still employed at the mine; 136,509 tons of hard coal were extracted. These are the last known sponsorship and workforce figures.

Heinrich Kämchen

The most famous miner of the Hasenwinkel colliery was certainly Heinrich Kämpchen , who drove to Hasenwinkel from 1865 to 1889. Elected spokesman for the miners in the course of the miners' strike in 1889 , he made a name for himself with stirring songs and poems about the life of miners in the Ruhr coal area. Dismissed from the colliery as an "early invalid" and de facto locked out for life , he embarked on a career as a poet. In Dahlhausen u. a. a school named after him.

Current condition

Today only the listed machine house remains of the whole system . Well repaired, the building houses an architectural office .
