The Zeche Herbede is a former coal mine in Witten district Herbede and has over 120 years of mining history. The mine emerged from a renaming of the Herbeder coal mine . The colliery was also popularly called Colliery Holland , this name was derived from the Holland pit of the Herbeder coal mine. But it is not identical to the former Holland colliery in Gelsenkirchen.

history

Herbeder coal mines

On June 14, 1849, the Holland and Holland II pit fields were awarded . In 1912 a union was formed. On September 2 of the same year , the mines Herbeder Steinkohlenbergwerk, United Armory, Ida, New Adolphus and Franziskus consolidated with the Geviertfeld Holland and Holland II and the United Elias Erbstollen to the Zeche Herbeder Steinkohlenbergwerke. The rightful covered an area of 7.5 square kilometers. The following year, which was begun bays 1 and 2 to sink , in the same year (+44 meters was measured at a depth of 31 meters NN ), the first sole recognized. After the outbreak of World War I, work was interrupted in 1914. Up until then, shaft 1 had a depth of 220 meters and shaft 2 had a depth of 49 meters. The first level was also set in shaft 2 at 49 meters. In 1918, preparations were made to resume the sinking work. In September 1919, shaft 2 was sunk further and the second level (220 m) was set in shaft 1 at a depth of 109 meters (−33 meters above sea level) and the third level (220 meter level) at 220 meters (−145 meters above sea level). The following year was the promotion started, the shaft 2 is now reaching to the second floor.

In 1922 a briquette factory was put into operation. In 1925 there was a change of ownership and the mine was taken over by Bergbau AG Lothringen . On July 1st of the same year the mine was shut down. The briquette factory was shut down in the same year. On January 1, 1927, the mine was put back into operation. On September 7, 1929, the quarter field was awarded to Caroline. In 1932, 73 party shifts were carried out , and Geviertfeld Laura was acquired in the same year. The Längenfeld lantern was acquired on March 3, 1933, and the Längenfeld Charlotte on November 6, 1933. This year, 109 party shifts were carried out. In 1934 the third level was aligned , and party shifts (49) were also carried out this year. In 1937 the union was incorporated into Lorraine society. In the following year the Herbeder coal mine was renamed to Herbede colliery.

The years as Herbede

After the renaming in 1938, the Herbede colliery consisted of plant 1/2, which in turn consisted of shafts 1 and 2. Shaft 1 had a depth of 220 meters and had the 3rd level as the deepest level, the weather shaft 2 had a depth of 109 meters, its deepest level was the 2nd level. In addition, a briquette factory and a weather shaft in the lower Pleßbachtal belonged to the colliery. In 1941 the digging of a blind shaft was started from the 3rd level, and the 4th level was added at a depth of 440 meters (−364 meters above sea level). In 1945, the rights covered an area of 13.8 square kilometers, the main lift level was the 3rd level. The shafts 1/2 and two weather shafts were available as shafts. In the following year a blind shaft was sunk from the 4th level. In 1947 a floor was set in the blind shaft at a depth of 625 meters (−550 meters above sea level) in the deepest part of the Borbeck Mulde. In 1948, shaft 2 was out of service, and the digging of weather shaft 3 began. The shaft starting point for shaft 3 was in the lower Pleßbachtal, south of Blankenstein station .

In 1950 the weather shaft 3 was put into operation. This year the rights covered 13.5 square kilometers. The mining fields Charlotte im Herbeder Holz, Flößgraben I to III, Fanny and Vereinigte Hardenstein also belonged to the beneficiaries. The United Hardenstein mining field consisted of the Hanomag I and II quarter fields. In addition, leased fields were also mined . The mining took place down to the Bommerbänker Mulde in the Geviertfeldern Neu-Scheven, Anna Augusta and Alexius. From 1957 the shaft was sunk deeper. The shaft reached a depth of 625 meters (−550 meters above sea level) in 1959, and the fifth level was set. In 1960, the rights holders covered an area of 14.4 square kilometers. In 1964 there was a mine fire in which four miners lost their lives. In 1965 the United Gibraltar Erbstollen mine field was acquired and the alignment of the mine field began. In the United Gibraltar Erbstollen mine field, north of the Kemnader reservoir, there was a shaft with a depth of 220 meters. In 1966 the Herbede colliery was acquired by the Eschweiler Mining Association . In 1968 the 650 meter bottom became the main lift bottom. The Herbede colliery was shut down on March 31, 1972, and the briquette factory was shut down on April 28 of the same year. After the shutdown, the daytime facilities were torn down in the years that followed . In 1974 the shafts were filled .
