The Holstein colliery is a former coal mine in Asseln , a district of Dortmund since 1928.
history
1874 teufte the Hörder club south of the village center the bill Holstein as another pit plant for coal supply for its smelters from.
In 1877 the mine went into operation with 477 employees.
In 1911 it had 2,267 employees. Asseln's population increased accordingly from 1620 in 1871 to 6103 in 1910.
The Holstein colliery was connected underground with the Schleswig colliery , which was partly in the area of the neighboring western town of Brackel . The breakdown took place in 1911 on the 500-meter sole . An above-ground connection was established in 1885 by a works railway.
The works railway, which led from the Hermannshütte in Hörde to the sister facility in Schleswig, was extended to Asseln; the line also received a siding to Wickede-Asseln station on the Dortmund-Süd - Welver line . Since the pit water of the two pits contained a lot of brine , there were even considerations to open a spa . Holstein was closed on August 1, 1928.
