The Herrenbank colliery in Essen-Altendorf is a former hard coal mine . The colliery was also known under the names Zeche Herrenbanck , Zeche Herrnbank and Zeche Herrenbank in the Essenenschein .

Mining history

The name Herrenbank was mentioned for the first time in 1623. Presumably this documentary mention refers to the name of the seam . In 1749, the abbess gave it to the Philipp Lange & Consorten trades . The union then renamed itself to the Salzer union. On September 10, 1800, the abbess gave a new loan. In 1802 two mines with the name Herrenbank were mentioned in a memorandum of the War and Domain Councilor Heinrich. Both mines had an identical production of 120 ringlets , one of the mines belonged to Wilhelm, the other to Henrich Siepmann. Presumably the owners were brothers. In June 1803, 22 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 1636 ringel coal .

In 1804, the two Herrenbank collieries were probably consolidated to form the United Sälzer & Neuack colliery. Despite the consolidation, both companies continued to operate independently. The maximum production was achieved in 1808, 5872 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1810, a total of 14 production shafts were dismantled . In particular, these were the shafts or dies Andreas, Busch, Friedrich, Johann, Ahrens, Gerhard, Leo, Lena, Martha, Hermann, Henricus, Langen, Wilhelm and Pfeiler. In March 1811 the Herrenbank colliery was closed due to a mining authority order. The Herrenbank shaft remained open to the United Sälzer & Neuack colliery until further notice; the shaft was abandoned in 1872.
