In 1804 a tunnel was first driven , from April of the same year the mine was closed again. On October 5, 1835, the Längenfeld Heimannsfeld No. 1 was awarded . In 1837 the Heimannsfeld No. 2 field was awarded. On September 9, 1838, the colliery was put back into operation, a daily operation was started. In order to start the daytime operation, an old mine had to be explored. This year 104½ tons of Prussian hard coal were mined. From the second quarter of 1840, the Heimannsfeld colliery was set within deadlines . On May 17th of the following year the mine was put back into operation.
In 1842 10,078 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. For 1845, although mining was carried out that year , no production figures were given. In 1847, 5644 tons of hard coal were extracted, which is also the last known extraction figures for the mine.
