Mining history
The beginnings
On June 21, 1732, the award for mining a seam took place . The Hermann field was awarded to Johan Haarmann and Consorten. In the same year, work began on driving a tunnel below Blankenstein . The tunnel was not driven from the Ruhraue, but from the slope. It took two wings, the south and the north wing, in Verhieb and started in the same year with the loss. However, there was no regular mining, rather the coal was only mined irregularly, according to the needs of the city of Blankenstein. In 1739 the mine was closed again. In 1755 the mine was put in time limits . At that time, the trades , the heir hair man at the mine upper jurors Wünneberg from Stiepel and Wilhelm Gethmann involved from Blankenstein. In the following year the pit field was measured . There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1761, 1762 and 1772. In 1775, hard coal was mined in both the north and south wings . There is evidence that the mine was in operation in the years 1778 and 1780 to 1782.
The following years until the consolidation
After 1782 the mine was out of service for some time, as it was reopened in 1783. A new deep tunnel was set up. Through the tunnel a 3¾ was foot powerful seam in Verhieb taken, which gave a gentle trough. On June 1 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Hermann colliery was the fourth mine that vom Stein visited on its journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. In his protocol, Vom Stein provided information about the condition of the mine and the performance of the miners employed there . In the years 1784 and 1785, a total of three sites were in operation. In 1800, a new tunnel had to be set up from the Ruhraue because the coal reserves in the old tunnel had been mined. Through this deeper tunnel, the trades tried to develop a new coal height. The first known production figures come from 1805, in that year 7464 ringlets were mined. Three years later, in 1808, hard coal was mined at the Abraham mine; the annual production was 6599 ringlets. The Abraham shaft had a depth of 32 ¾ laughs . In 1811, the excavation above the tunnel floor came to an end. In order to continue mining coal, the trades of the Hermann colliery tried to form a new trade union with the trades of the neighboring mines. A short time later the Zeche Hermann consolidated with the "Zeche Gutglück" to the Zeche Glücklicher Hermann .
