The Huferbänke colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Kupferdreh - Dilldorf . The mine consisted of two pit fields , which were temporarily separated, but also temporarily managed together.

Mine history Huferbänke

In 1802 50 ringlets were mined per day at the Huferbänke colliery . Shortly afterwards, the total rights of ownership were divided into two separate mines, namely the Huf I colliery and the Huferbank colliery. Around the year 1879, both mines were combined to form the Huf I & Huferbank colliery, which was then again called the Huferbank colliery.

Mine history Huf I

The Huf I colliery in Essen-Kupferdreh was probably also called the Huferbank I colliery and arose from the separation of the two pit fields of the Huferbank colliery. In 1803 this mine was also called the Gabe Gottes mine. In 1867, construction of the tunnel in the Dilldorfer Mulde began. In that year, the beneficiaries included the Franziska length field and another, not exactly named length field. Around the year 1879 it was merged with the Huferbank colliery.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production and workforce figures for the mine date from 1867, with nine miners 610 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1870, 29 miners extracted 5,309 tons of hard coal. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1873. This year 16,768 tons were extracted with 56 miners. In 1875, 31 miners extracted 7,677 tons of hard coal. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1878, when 491 tons of hard coal were extracted with four miners.

Mining history Huferbank

The Huferbank colliery in Essen-Kupferdreh was also called the Huferbank II colliery; it was created in 1802 from the separation of the Huferbank colliery. In 1858 a tunnel in the Asbach valley was worked. In 1862 the rights of the Hardenberg coal mines were taken over and mining was carried out in the United Petersburg field . The rightful encompassed a length field. In 1878 the Huferbank colliery was closed. In the following year to merge with the Huf I colliery to form the Huf I colliery and Huferbank.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production figures for the mine are from 1829, 20,228 bushels of hard coal were produced. In 1834 the production sank to 12,273 1/2 bushels of hard coal. In 1858 production fell further to 11,895 bushels of hard coal. The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1861, at that time 25 miners were employed in the mine who produced 22,650 Prussian tons . In 1867, 17 miners extracted 3913 tons. In 1870 the production rose slightly to 4,672 tons, the workforce increased to 22 miners. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1873, with 24 miners 6876 tons. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1877, in that year a miner produced 120 tonnes of hard coal.

Mine history Huf I & Huferbank

Around 1879, the two independent collieries, Huf I and Huferbank, merged to form the Huf I & Huferbank colliery, also known as the Huferbank colliery. In the same year the Huferbank union was founded. The Huf I construction site in the Dilldorfer Mulde was in operation, the Huferbank construction site was out of operation. In 1884, the Huf I construction site ceased operations. In 1887, the Huf I construction site was dismantled again, and later this construction site was also closed. In 1906 the rightful owner of the Zeche Adler was closed.

Promotion and workforce

The following funding and workforce figures only relate to the Huf I construction site. In 1881, four miners extracted 955 tons of hard coal. In 1883 the production sank to 463 tons of hard coal, this production was provided by three miners. In 1884 the production fell again to 18 tons, the workforce dropped to two miners. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1887, in that year 977 tons of hard coal were extracted with four miners.
