Mining history
On May 24th and June 26th, 1787, the Längenfeld House Brandenburg 1–3 were awarded , after which tunnel construction was carried out. The mine mouth hole was set up east of the Pleßbach in the area of today's streets Deitermannsknapp and Bruchstraße . Another award took place on June 16, 1857. In 1873 a new tunnel mouth hole was set up in the Neu-Scheven field at +94 meters above sea level . The Neu-Scheven field was east of the Pleßbach. The Haus Brandenburg colliery was shut down in October 1882. The tunnel fell into disrepair over the years, so that in 1890 work began to open up the tunnel again, starting from the Neu-Scheven colliery . On March 14, 1891 , the Haus Brandenburg and Neu-Scheven collieries consolidated into the United Neu-Scheven colliery.
