On September 13th, the mother extended the expectation . On March 1, 1771, Johann Caspar Hundicker confirmed his claim to the courage. At this point in time, no further mining activities had been carried out in the assumed field. The pit field was measured in 1786. On April 10, 1790, a length field was awarded which was located west of the Alte Bommerbank colliery and which reached into the Rauental. The dismantling started in 1796 . The promotion of coal took place in the western part of the field by the Bommer bankers Erbstollen . From the year 1800 was to promote the Göpel Schacht Fortuna used.

The other years

Depending on the face advance several were light holes geteuft . During this time, the production also took place in Göpelschächten, which were used together with the Alte Bommerbank colliery. The Helene Gertrud colliery also had its own Göpel shafts in operation, these were the shafts Amalia, Carl, Doris, Fortuna, Erika, Helena, Helene, Juliana, Mina, Wilhelm and Hope. The Hope shaft was also equipped with the Gotthilf (also called Gotthelf) day tunnel. The striking distances between the shafts were between 50 and 200 m, the depth extended to the bottom of the Bommerbanker Erbstollen. On March 15, 1802, the Helene Gertrud colliery was shut down. From 1811 there was a joint coal production with the Alte Bommerbank colliery. On January 25, 1813, it was merged with the Alte Bommerbank colliery, but both mines continued to bill separately. In 1821 the Göpelschacht Helena was in operation. In 1828 the Göpelschacht Engelberth was in operation. This Engelberth Göpelschacht is identical to the Engelberth Göpelschacht of the Alte Bommerbank colliery. In 1837 the Amalia Göpel shaft was filled.

On January 1, 1925, the Helene Gertrud colliery was finally shut down.
