The Heisinger Mulde colliery in Essen-Heisingen is a former hard coal mine . The mine emerged from the consolidation of several previously independent mines.

history

Merging the mines

In the period from May 13th to August 26th, 1880, the collieries Nottekampsbank II , Vereinigte Flor & Flörchen and Vereinigte Wasserschneppe were consolidated . The newly founded mine was run under the name Heisinger Mulde colliery. The reason for the consolidation was the mining of the coal seams down to the depths of the trough. At this point in time, the United Flor & Flörchen colliery was already out of operation. The reason for this was a strong water ingress. The United Wasserschneppe colliery was connected to the 2nd underground level at a depth of 219 meters through its Franz shaft . The mines Notte Kamp Bank II and United Wasserschneppe were already intraday durchschlägig , but there was no underground connection with the colliery Flor & Flörchen. The promotion took place in the shafts Notte Kamp Bank and Franz, in addition to coal also has carbon Eisenstein promoted. In 1881 the field formerly United Flor & Flörchen was swamped . In 1882 the maximum extraction was achieved with 351 miners, it was 94,988 tons of hard coal.

Further expansion and operation

In 1883 the Nottekampsbank shaft was sunk deeper and the fifth level was set at a depth of 303 meters, and work began on digging the Franz shaft deeper. The following year, the third underground level was set in the Franz shaft at a depth of −111 meters above sea level . The trades made a cross passage from the Wasserschneppe field. The mine workings of the field Flor & Flörchen were to be solved via this cross passage . However, no copy was made for the United Flor & Flörchen field. The efforts to drain the Flor & Flörchen mine workings were unsuccessful. On December 26th of the same year, the drainage system in the Franz shaft failed , so that the third underground level subsided . In 1885, 49 miners initially produced 1709 tons of hard coal. In the following days there were large water inflows. At this time there was still no breakthrough between the fields of Vereinigte Flor & Flörchen and Vereinigte Wasserschneppe. On January 7 of the same year, the Heisinger Mulde colliery was shut down. On January 22nd of the same year the mine was flooded and bankruptcy proceedings began on January 31st . In 1887 the owner of the mine changed. First, the Heisinger Mulde trade union was renamed the Heisinger Association. Later the Heisinger Mulde colliery was also renamed the Heisinger Vereinigung colliery .

Heisinger Association

Very little is reported about the time as the Heisinger Vereinigung colliery . The mine fields Franz and Friede II belonged to the authorized persons . The mine was initially out of order after the renaming, whether it was ever in operation is not clear. In 1889, the concession for the mine was awarded to the Rhenish Anthracite Coal Works.
