The Herminenglück-Liborius colliery was a hard coal mine in Bochum , the mine fields of which mainly extended to the districts of Altenbochum and Grumme .
Pit field
The first suspicions about parts of the mine field were received by the responsible authorities around 1845. The two individual fields "Ritterburg" and "Ritterburg II" were then awarded on April 26, 1847 to the mining law union Ritterburg , which had been founded and established in the meantime. These fields, which originally had the names Herminenglück and Liborius , are regarded as the nucleus of the later Herminenglück-Liborius colliery. On February 16, 1877 then took place the consolidation of the fields with the southern boundary line lying field Hermione luck modo Liborius to the field Hermione Luck Liborius .
West of the Mine was the mine field of the colliery President , the accompanying single field Petrovaradin and south of the castle Berechtsame of mine Friederika on. The eastern border was fields with the fields of the Harpen Mining AG mark distinctive and north was the single field German loyalty I .
Company history
Even before the award of the first fields in 1847 was union knights castle was founded. This was converted into a stock corporation in 1874 , which, however, soon reached the limits of its financial possibilities. The retired Wilhelm Endemann from Bonn took over the mine field after several fields, some of which were mine, had already been awarded to him years before. These were u. a .:
- Dominica (awarded February 14, 1855)
- Deutsche Loyalty I (awarded on March 26, 1855)
- Veronica (awarded April 29, 1856)
- Deutsche Treue II (awarded on February 24, 1856)
- Agatha (awarded March 9, 1857)
- German Loyalty (awarded on February 22, 1859)
- Herminenglück modo Liborius (awarded on August 5, 1859)
- Veronica II (awarded December 10, 1872)
The colliery operation was temporarily stopped until in 1877 Endemann consolidated the Ritterburg fields with the Herminenglück modo Liborius field adjoining to the south . The mine was now continued under the name Herminenglück-Liborius coal mine . In 1891 the entire mine was owned together with the field Agatha , which on 21 August in 1883 by consolidation of the individual fields Agatha , German loyalty , German loyalty I and German loyalty II , was created in the newly founded AG Hermione Luck Liborius introduced. A coherent exploitation of the mine field was not possible, however, as it was crossed from west to east by the authorized persons of the neighboring United Constantine the Great , which resulted in the formation of a northern and a southern subfield. In 1892 the mine produced an annual tonnage of 119,961 t with a workforce of 572 employees. This output was never reached again, not least because negotiations were initiated with the United Constantin der Große union that same year , which ultimately resulted in the takeover of AG Herminenglück-Liborius .
Shafts
The union Ritterburg began with the sinking of the shaft Knights Castle , who also Schacht August was called later in the year 1858. Two years stratiform rock formation of was Carboniferous reached and another two years later, the first was coal for sale at day be lifted. In 1881 the connecting line to the Bochum-Nord station of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft was put into operation. Under the leadership of the Herminenglück-Liborius AG , work began in 1884 about 300 m south of the production shaft to sink a shaft to ventilate the mine . This was then put into operation in the following year. After the takeover by the United Constantin der Große colliery , the conveyor shaft was renamed to Constantin 3 shaft . Towards the end of the 1920s, the shaft increasingly lost its importance as a production site. After cessation of coal production in 1928, the weather shaft was abandoned the following year and then backfilled. In 1967 the former production shaft became part of the Bochum mines , a merger of several former individual mines in the area of Herne and Bochum with a total of 25 shafts at the time of the merger. After its complete closure in 1973, the shaft was subsequently backfilled .
Shaft coordinates
- "Ritterburg" shaft 51 ° 29 ′ 23.6 ″ N , 7 ° 14 ′ 28.2 ″ E

Current condition
Today (as of January 2013) nothing can be seen of the former shafts and their existing buildings. The connecting line to Bochum-Nord station will continue to be used by the Bochum steelworks and ThyssenKrupp Elektroband Bochum.
