The Hasenwinkel-Himmelscroner Erbstolln colliery , also known as the Hasenwinkel-Himmelscroner Erbstollen colliery , is a former mine in Oberdahlhausen . The colliery was also known as the United Hasenwinkel-Himmelscrone colliery and was the result of a consolidation of two independent collieries.
history
The beginnings
In 1829 the Hasenwinkel & Sonnenschein and General & Himmelscroner collieries consolidated into the Hasenwinkel-Himmelscroner Erbstollen colliery. In the same year, the sinking of the Seigeren Constanz August gallery began. The starting point of the shaft was at today's Munscheiderstraße number 166. The shaft had an oval cross-section with the dimensions 3.45 x 2.29 meters. The depth to the bottom of the tunnel was 30 meters. In 1830 there were a total of three tunnels . This year, the horse- drawn tram running from the Theresia Horse Gopel Shaft was expanded to the Hasenwinkel-Himmelscroner Erbstolln mine. On August 14, 1832, the loan was placed on a tunnel. The tunnel should be hare Winkel Bank ascended to. In the same year the Constanz August shaft received a shaft lining . The shaft lining extended from the hanging bank to the bottom of the tunnel, making the Constanz August shaft the first wall shaft in the entire Ruhr area. In addition, a conveyor steam engine was installed. In August of 1833 Schacht Constance August went into promotion .
The other years
In 1834 the coal extracted was coked in a private coking plant in Dahlhausen. The coking plant belonged to the trade and merchant Wm. Liebrecht. In 1835 the seam Anna Maria, better known as seam president, was mined . The excavation took place in the tunnel construction via a long conveyor tunnel, the tunnel mouth hole was located near Mundscheid. The coal extracted was transported over a period of days on a horse-drawn tramway of 1600 Lachter to the coal storage facility on the Ruhr. In 1836 the Theresia Horse Gopel Shaft and the Constanz August Shaft were in operation. The coal from the Hülfe Gottes & Christiana colliery was also mined in the Constanz mine . In the years 1837 to 1839 the mine was the largest colliery on the Ruhr. In 1838 a contract was signed to resolve the Lucia colliery . The solution came through the tunnel cross-cut of the Constanz shaft. In addition, work began on digging a new Göpel shaft. On February 11, 1841, the two quarter fields Anna Maria and Diomedes were awarded . In the following year, General-Stolln No. 2 reached its final length, it was 3500 meters. In the same year the rightful Christiane was solved by the tunnel. Between the years 1842 and 1850 the mines Kirschbaum & Lucia and Hülfe Gottes & Christiana were taken over. On June 17, 1844, the copper plate square was awarded as an attachment. In 1845, the authorized Johann Christoph was unlocked, and there was a dispute with the United General & Erbstollen mine . The following year the dispute was ended by a mine sheath agreement.
Transition to civil engineering
In 1848 the Hasenwinkel-Himmelscroner Erbstolln colliery went over to civil engineering and the Roeder shaft began to be sunk. The starting point for the shaft was in the area of Hattinger Strasse and Am Roederschacht. The bottom of the tunnel was at a depth of 72 meters, which was also the final depth of the shaft. After the shaft was completed, the Theresia shaft was initially used to start mining, and later the Roeder shaft was given a steam hoisting machine. In the same year, the extraction of the Theresia shaft was stopped and the shaft was dropped . At that time, the Hasenwinkel-Himmelscroner Erbstolln colliery was the largest colliery in the Ruhr area. In 1850 there were several self-pulling weather blows for ventilation . In 1852, a main weather tower was built at the Constanz August shaft, which was equipped with a weather furnace . On October 8, 1853, the Längenfeld Louis was awarded.
The last few years
In 1854 work began on sinking the Friedrich Wilhelm shaft. The shaft was given a rectangular cross-section with the dimensions 5.35 X 1.06 meters. The Friedrich Wilhelm shaft was set up in Bochum-Weitmar, 800 meters east of the Constanz August shaft. Since there was a strong inflow of water during the sinking work, a borehole was made in the bottom of the shaft up to the bottom of the tunnel. This allowed the water to flow unhindered to the bottom of the Erbstollen . After completion, the shaft reached a depth of 45 meters to the bottom of the General Gallery No. 2. The shaft was equipped with a steam cap for extraction. In 1855, mining began in the Friedrich Wilhelm shaft. In the same year, the tunnel operation in the Anna Maria seam was closed. In addition, the Roeder shaft was handed over to the peaceful neighbor colliery . Another shaft was sunk 100 puddles east of the Friedrich Wilhelm shaft, this shaft had a final depth of eight puddles. Moreover, that was in navigable Erbstollen promotion set. Instead of the horse-drawn tram, a 1500 Lachter long railroad was now used to transport the coal above ground to the Ruhr. In the year 1856, the original tunnel wing sites were first driven. In the same year it was consolidated into the Hasenwinkel colliery .
Promotion and workforce
The first production figures date from 1830, 23,329 tons of hard coal were produced . The first workforce dates from 1835, there were 250 miners on the mine who produced 1500 to 2000 bushels a day . In 1837 164,212½ tons of Prussian hard coal were mined. In 1838 40,465 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 the production sank to 28,053 tons of hard coal. In 1842 the production fell again to 22,762 tons of hard coal. In 1844 there were only four miners left on the mine. In 1845, 21,138 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1848 the production increased to around 51,000 tons of hard coal. In 1850 the production sank again to 38,312 tons of hard coal. In 1853, 301 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 41,036 tons of hard coal. In 1854, 271 miners extracted 38,923 tons of hard coal. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine date from 1855, with 436 miners producing 60,895 tons of hard coal.
Current condition
Today there is still a colliery building from the Roeder shaft. It is part of the mining trail through the historic mining in Bochum Dahlhausen.
