The Hermanns Gesegnete Schiffahrt colliery in Hattingen - Welper - Blankenstein is a former hard coal mine . The colliery was also known under the name Colliery Hermanns Gesegnete Schifffahrt or Colliery Hermanns Gesegnete Schiffarth and emerged from the consolidation of two independent mines. The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Dahlhausen .
Mining history
In 1820 the mines Glücklicher Hermann and Gesegnete Schiffahrt consolidated into the Zeche Hermanns Gesegnete Schiffahrt. The entire Berechtsame included this year an area of 1.5 square kilometers. Mining continued in the Glücklicher Hermann field ; mining took place at the Abraham shaft . The coal extracted was transported over days to a coal defeat on the Ruhr. In 1824 a tunnel was created in the northeastern part of the mine field . The tunnel was located at what is now Hof Hof and was 153 meters long. The tunnel was built to mine the coal in the Geitling seam. Since the coal in this part of the seam was unclean, the tunnel was thrown off again . In 1830 the Friedrich shaft , which took several tons , was sunk , the shaft had a shallow depth of 59 meters. In the same year, mining in the Glücklicher Hermann tunnel was stopped.
In 1831, the Ruhr floodplain began to drive a painting gallery. In 1833 the Wilhelm shaft, which took several tons, was sunk, the shaft reached a shallow depth of 68 meters. The tunnel to the west is 1000 meters long. In the same year, the excavation of the tunnel is stopped because the coals in the tunnel are unclean. In 1835 Schacht Friedrich's promotion . In 1840 Schacht Wilhelm is in production. In 1844 a third tunnel was created in Welper from the Sprockhöveler Bachtal. The tunnel was located in the area of the Schulte Hinsbeck farm. In the following year, water entered the tunnel several times due to the high water of the Ruhr. On November 29th of the same year, the Geviertfelder Hermann No. I and No. II were awarded . The two fields had a total area of two square kilometers. On January 31, 1846, the lucky Hermann square was awarded. In 1849 the mining in the tunnel at the Sprockhöveler Bach was stopped. At the same time, a new tunnel was set up on the Sprockhöveler Bach. The tunnel was driven in the Geitling 2 seam. Several seams in this area were subsequently excavated through the tunnel . In 1850 a cow was built at the tunnel mouth hole of the tunnel on the Sprockhöveler Bach . In 1853, Spateisenstein was also mined in the Stolberg I mine. Later the Eisensteinzeche Müsen I arose from it.
In 1855, a new tunnel was excavated in the north-western part of the mine field. The tunnel was driven south of the road from Hattingen to Blankenstein. The tunnel was driven in the north wing of the hollow on the Flora seam, which was three feet thick , and was intended to serve as a conveyor tunnel. The tunnel was driven 52 puddles in an easterly direction and brought a depth gain of 15 puddles. However, this tunnel was only of importance for the mine for a short time. In the following year, a hereditary tunnel was set up in the Ruhr floodplains for shipping, but the tunnel was not opened any further. In 1859 preparations were made for the transition to civil engineering , and the Adolph shaft was sunk for this purpose. The shaft was sunk right down to the spate iron seam and later belonged to the Müsen I colliery. In 1860, civil engineering began and the Adolph shaft began to be mined. In the same year, mining above the bottom of the tunnel was stopped. In 1862 the mining in the tunnel at the Sprockhöveler Bach was also stopped. In 1864 Adolph on the second was at the shaft bottom and the third floor in the special field New Hattingen both coal mined and siderite. In 1875 the coal above the bottom of the tunnel was mined at the Adolph shaft . In the same year the operation was stopped. The day facilities at the Adolph shaft were almost completely demolished. The shaft building was the only building that remained . From around 1890, the right to the Carl Friedrich Erbstollen colliery was added.
From November 1923, tunnel construction was again carried out in the area of the mine field of the Hermanns Gesegnete Schiffahrt colliery . In June of the following year the mine was shut down again and the Carl Friedrich Erbstollen colliery was closed. From around 1930, operations were resumed with a tunnel. The tunnel was on the road from Welper to Brockhausen, Spateisenstein was mined. Presumably the operation was stopped again soon afterwards. In 1955, a small mine called the Zeche Hermanns Gesegnete Schiffahrt was put into operation on the old mine field.
Promotion and workforce
The first production figures come from the year 1826, 330 tons of hard coal were produced. In 1830, 672 tons of hard coal had already been mined. In 1835 860 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 there was a slight increase in production to 934 tons of hard coal. The first workforce dates from 1845, in that year 15 miners were employed at the colliery, who produced 2128 tonnes of hard coal. In 1850, 26 miners extracted 2478 tons of hard coal. In 1855, 47 miners extracted 26,759½ tons of coal from Prussia . In the following year, production fell slightly to 5333 tons. In 1860, 141 miners extracted 25,499 tons of hard coal. The maximum production was achieved in 1861 with 128 miners, 31,695 tons of hard coal were mined. After that, funding fell drastically.
In 1864 the production sank to 9,156 tons of hard coal, and the workforce also decreased to 79 miners. In 1865, production fell again to 4585 tons of hard coal, this production was provided by 65 miners. In 1870 the production sank to 3,402 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 64 miners. In 1874 there was another increase in production and in the following year production of 19,009 tons of hard coal was significantly higher than in previous years. However, the workforce fell to 59 miners. The last known workforce and production figures of the mine are from 1924, with six miners 862 tons of hard coal were extracted.
Small mine
The Kleinzeche Hermanns Gesegnete Schiffahrt was in Hattingen-Welper-Ludwigsthal. The mine was put into operation on January 6, 1955. This small mine was initially owned by the Wippsterz union , later the Hausbach union took over the mine. In 1956, 14 miners were employed at the colliery, who produced 120 tons of hard coal. In 1960, 50 miners were already employed at the colliery, and production rose to 11,977 tonnes of hard coal. From January 1, 1965, the Friedrichshöhe union took over the colliery. This year, 96 miners extracted 36,311 tons of hard coal. The maximum production was achieved in 1966 with 121 miners, 37,872 tons of hard coal were mined. On December 12, 1967, the Kleinzeche Hermanns Gesegnete Schiffahrt was shut down.
Current condition
Two tunnel mouth holes are still reminiscent of the Hermanns Gesegnete Schiffahrt colliery. One of them is the Mausegatt tunnel mouth hole. However, this is a new building because the old tunnel mouth hole was built over when the Ruhr Valley Railway was built. This new building was built after 1874 and is located on the museum route between Hattingen-Welper and Blankenstein. The tunnel mouth hole is located below the railway embankment and can be easily seen from there. The tunnel is part of the hiking trail on old coal paths through Welper and Blankenstein, you can recognize the tunnel by the top of the wall. Another tunnel opening is also located on the museum route between Hattingen-Welper and Blankenstein. This tunnel mouth hole is located a little west of the other tunnel mouth hole and is also below the railway embankment, but cannot be seen from the railway embankment. Some documents are in the inventory of the Zeche Flora in the mining archive in Bochum .
