The Hobeisen colliery in Essen-Holsterhausen is a former hard coal mine . The colliery was also known as the Hohenbeysen colliery and the Hobeysen colliery . In the abbot's archives, the mine was called the Hohe Beisen mine . The name of the mine was derived from the old field name "Hohe Beisen" .

history

Old Hobeisener Stollen

The Alter Hobeisener Stollen colliery was already in operation in the 17th century. Very little is reported about this tunnel mine . The tunnel was then only in operation for a few years. The Alter Hobeisener Stollen colliery was closed again before 1670. In the 18th century it was put back into operation under the name of Zeche Hobeisen.

Another mining operation

After the colliery had not been in operation for over 50 years, it was supposed to go back into operation in 1718. Shortly after commissioning, however, the mine was shut down again. In 1732, the mine owners were warned by the abbess to work the mine field. Even after this reminder, no regular operation was carried out. In 1838, Mr. Kaldenhoff asked for a new appointment , but the business was not continuous after that either. In 1848 Mr. Drees appealed unsuccessfully. Two years later, Mr. Funke also suggested that it was unsuccessful. In 1750 a society for the exploitation of the "Kohlbank Hobeysen in Steinfurth south of Schwanenkamp" was formed. In 1752 it was officially sealed. In 1759, a new test was made, as the deposit had been idle since 1738. The deposit was partly exploited by farmers in near-surface mining .

In 1763 the new Hobeisener Akeldruft was created. The Akeldruft served to drain off the accumulating pit water . Despite a renewed loan in 1765, there was hardly any dismantling . Since the deposit had already been exploited in the substation construction in previous years, building another tunnel appeared to be hopeless. For this reason, the preparations for the transition to civil engineering were made in 1834 . It was started two tonnlägige shafts to sink , these were the production well Adolf and a ventilation shaft. The shafts were located on the corner of Hobeisenstrasse and Keplerstrasse. The coal extracted from the mine was transported to Mülheim and from there to the Ruhr by means of a horse-drawn railway . In 1835, a combined steam engine was installed for the promotion and dewatering . In 1836 the tunnel was taken out of service. In the same year , the Hobeisen colliery consolidated with other authorized persons to form the United Hobeisen colliery .

United Hobeisen

The United Hobeisen colliery in Essen-Holsterhausen was created in 1836 through a consolidation of several authorized persons. The purpose of the consolidation was the transition to civil engineering. After the consolidation, the Adolf shaft was sunk further down to a shallow depth of 60 peaks . A water retention steam engine was set up with a delivery height of 84 meters. In addition, a small steam haulage machine was purchased from the United Sellerbeck mine in the same year . In 1837 a horse-drawn tram was built up to the Chaussee in Essen, the track had a length of 1130 Lachtern. Civil engineering began in the same year. As the union was financially weak, operational difficulties arose in 1838. So that no further losses could arise for the trades, the mining office in Werden recommended that operations be closed. The Adolf shaft was sunk to a depth of 135 meters deeper. In 1840 a sole was added at this depth . However, there were strong water inflows, which hindered the degradation. In 1841 another level was added at a depth of 177 meters. Due to high water inflows, the United Hobeisen colliery was drained and shut down. In August of the following year, the entire inventory was sold. In 1898 the mine field of the Hagenbeck colliery was closed.

Promotion and workforce

The first workforce at the mine dates from 1834; there were seven miners working in the mine. In the following year, 20 miners were employed at the mine. The first known production figures come from the year 1836, a production of 7,426 Prussian tons of hard coal was provided. In 1838 the production rose to 21,164 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1840, 84,405½ bushels of hard coal were mined. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1841, 45,159¾ Prussian tons of hard coal were mined.
