The Herrenbank colliery in Rellinghausen , a district of Essen since 1910 , is a former coal mine that was already in operation in the 18th century and was the counterpart of the Bauernbank colliery. The colliery was also known as the Herrbank colliery . Owner was the rule of Vittinghoff, called Schell.

Mining history

In the 18th century, hard coal was mined by wage laborers, also under Schellenberg Castle . In 1805 the Dorothea shaft was mined. In 1810 the Mina shaft was sunk . The shaft reached a final depth of 13⅜ puddles . In 1815, Gute Hope was mined in the shaft , and a tunnel was set up in the Bauernbank seam . From March 1820, the mine was set in time limits . In 1825 the mine was put back into operation. In the same year the Georg shaft was dismantled and a farmer's bench was built in the seam. In 1830 the tunnel was under the Schellenberg house. In 1840 Schacht Georg was in production. In the years 1853 to 1855, the Herrenbank colliery was still mentioned in the documents , but no more funding took place. After 1855 the Herrenbank colliery is no longer mentioned.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production and workforce figures come from the year 1830, when four miners were employed at the mine who produced 8484 bushels of hard coal . In 1834 mining took place, but no funding figures were given. This year three miners were employed at the mine. In 1836 2,747½ tons of Prussian hard coal were mined. In 1840 the production sank to 1,685¼ tons of hard coal. In 1842, it increased again to 3,563 Prussian tons of hard coal. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1844, in that year 16,920 bushels of hard coal were produced.
