The Heinrich colliery in Heven- Kleinherbede is a former hard coal mine . The colliery arose from the consolidation of two mines with a neighboring mine field . The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamtsiertel and there to the jury area Hardenstein .
history
The beginnings
On March 23, 1819, a length field was awarded . On August 30th of that year, the Wilde Mann colliery consolidated with the company heirloom and the lent Längenfeld Heinrich to form the Heinrich colliery. In 1838 it was planned to build a 1,800 Lachter long horse tram to the Ruhr. On August 10, 1840, a length field was again awarded. The colliery went into operation in the following year. There were four seams with different thicknesses . The most powerful seam had a thickness of 60 inches , the lowest seam was 6 inches thick. The other two seams were 51 and 55 inches thick, respectively. In 1843 one was tonnlägiger bay named Dorothea geteuft . In 1845 was the third sole operating. This year further alignment and fixture work took place. On the third level, the cross passage was driven to the north in order to loosen seam no . The cross passage was driven in the mild sandstone . In the Wildemann seam, route no. 1 was driven further in an easterly direction. In the places No. 2 to the east, No. 4 to the east, No. 5 to the east and No. 5 to the west mottled and gray coals were obtained .
The other years
In 1846 there was a legal dispute over a disputed field. In 1855, a barrel- length shaft with a shallow depth of 29¾ was in operation; the shaft was equipped with a reel . In addition, a 600-meter-long rail line to Crengeldanzstrasse in Crengeldanz was in operation. In the years 1858 and 1863 the mine was demonstrably in operation. In 1864 the mine had a tunnel driven north from the Ruhr valley and a shaft that took several tons. The latter was equipped with a horse head and had a shallow depth of 31 laughs. The shaft averaged 250 bushels a day. In 1869, the Heinrich colliery was consolidated with the Helena colliery. The consolidated colliery was named Zeche Helene Tiefbau .
Promotion and workforce
Only edible coals were extracted at the mine . The first known production figures come from the year 1841, when 1515 Prussian tons of hard coal were produced. In 1842, 4,302 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1845 the production amounted to 62,223 bushels of hard coal. The first workforce dates from 1847, between 17 and 40 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 60,124 bushels. The production was provided partly from the field at issue (14,508 bushels) and partly from the actual field (45,616 bushels). In 1855, 29 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 25,478 Prussian tons of hard coal. This year between 4,000 and 5,000 bushels of hard coal were mined per month. In 1867, 1588 tons of hard coal were mined. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1869, in that year 7154 tons of hard coal were produced.
