The Hope Colliery in Essen-Überruhr -Holthausen is a former hard coal mine . The colliery was only in operation as a tunnel mine for a few years.
Mining history
In 1798 the so-called "new tunnel" was added to the Ruhr. A short time later, mining in the Geitling seam began. The Geitling seam was also called Wolfsbank seam in this area. On June 5, 1801, a joint venture with the Wolfsbank colliery was established under the name Hope . The area of the Hope Colliery was designated as Hope I and the area of the Wolfsbank Colliery as Hope II . The only known production figures date back to 1802, there were 168 Ringel coal promoted. After the breakthrough with the Wolff colliery , there was a dispute over rights in 1803. In 1808 Hope No. 1 was only mined in the seam. This seam was also the Geitling seam. After another breakthrough with the Wolff colliery, there was another dispute over rights. The following year, shaft 2 was dismantled; the shaft was twelve puddles deep . In the same year , the Hope colliery consolidated with the Wolff colliery to form the Heinrich colliery .
