The Herzkämper Mulde colliery in the Herzkämper Mulde in Sprockhövel ( Gennebreck district ) is a former hard coal mine . The mine resulted from the consolidation of two independent mines. The Herzkämper Mulde colliery union was one of the founding members of the Rhenish-Westphalian coal syndicate .
Mining history
In the period from March 30th to May 1st, 1889, the Sieper & Mühler mine consolidated with the Glückauf mine . The shafts were the Heinrich shaft, the Hövel shaft and four weather shafts. The bottom of the Heinrich shaft was at a depth of 92 meters, the deepest bottom was at a depth of 125 meters. The Hövel shaft was located near the Schee train station , where the weather bed was at a depth of 132 meters (+135 meters above sea level ). The solution of the mine water was carried out by the dirt bankers Erbstollen that Erbstollensohle was at 175 meters (+92 meters above sea level). The authorized ones comprised several length fields with a large crossing . 1/3 of the shares of the Dreckbänker Erbstollen belonged to the beneficiaries. Following the consolidation, the Geviertfelder Neu Concordia I and Neu Concordia II were acquired. The two quarter fields were located northeast of the district of Hiddinghausen.
In 1890, work began on digging the Hövel shaft deeper . In 1891, a coking plant and a briquette factory were put into operation at the Hövel shaft site . The following year, the first underground level was set in the Hövel shaft at a depth of 285 meters (−18 meters above sea level) . In addition, work began on digging a ton-long weather shaft. In 1893, the weather control in the Hövel shaft was shifted to the 198 meter bottom. The Heinrich shaft was converted into a weather shaft in the same year, and another weather shaft was in operation. Since there was high water inflows in civil engineering, the coal was mainly above the dirt bankers Erbstollensohle mined . After the coal above the bottom of the Erbstollen had been mined, the Heinrich shaft was closed on August 1st, 1894. Following closure of the shaft, the mined coal had to-day to the shaft Hoevel promoted are there, the coal was to day promoted . In 1895 the coking plant was shut down and the Heinrich shaft abandoned.
In 1896, three shafts were still in operation, these were the Hövel shaft and two unnamed weather shafts. In the following year, the Oberste Bank, Hütterbank, Friedrich Wilhelm and Glückauf seams were prepared . All four seams were also mined at the same time . At that time the mine belonged to the Witten mining area . In the following years the briquette factory was shut down, the exact date is not known. In order to align the 2nd underground level , a start was made in 1898 to sink a blind shaft from the 1st underground level. The die was intended for a depth of around 200 meters. Since the mine owners constantly had to pay busses at that time , the Herzkämper Mulde colliery consolidated into the Stock & Scherenberg colliery on June 25 of the same year.
Promotion and workforce
The first known workforce and production figures for the mine date back to 1889, when 140 miners were employed in the mine who produced 23,668 tons of hard coal. In 1895 the production rose to 48,710 tons of hard coal, this production was provided by 251 miners. The maximum extraction was achieved in 1897 by 307 miners, 61,444 tons of hard coal were extracted. These were also the last known workforce and sponsorship figures.
Current condition
Of the Herzkämper Mulde colliery, only the machine house of the Hövel shaft remains today. It is located in Sprockhövel in the Schee district in Quellenburgstrasse and has since been converted into a residential building.
