The Hugo Haniel colliery was a hard coal mine in Oberhausen-Holten . The mine was named after Hugo Haniel , chairman of the mine board , and was in operation for over 25 years.
history
planning
In the first half of the 1890s, the management board and supervisory board of Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH) decided to build a new mine. The mine was to be built on its own property in the Waldteich district . For this purpose, the plan was a bay in Senkschachtverfahren abzuteufen . In addition, buildings for two hoisting machines and a compressor as well as a boiler house , a processing plant with an attached sifting plant, a chew and office building were planned for the necessary machines .
The construction of the mine
In 1895, the GHH began sinking a shaft in the field of Oberhausen . The groundbreaking ceremony was held on February 2nd of the same year by Hugo Haniel's son, Franz Haniel the Elder. Younger, made. This shaft, located in the western part of the Oberhausen field, was initially called the Sterkrade shaft , but was renamed the Hugo shaft in the same year . The shaft was built using the sinkhole method with a diameter of 7.5 meters. Despite the strong water inflow, the walled sump reached a depth of 24 meters. Due to a thick layer of clay , the sinking work came to a standstill at this depth. It was therefore decided to carry out the further work using a segment column. The Tübbingsäule had a diameter of 6.72 meters and was designed by opencast introduced into the shaft. During the sinking work, the tubbing column was moved further downwards. In 1896 there were water inflows at a depth of 80 meters. For this reason, further work was postponed . The sinking work continued over the next year. In the months that followed, the shaft reached a depth of 173 meters. On August 6, 1898, floating sand collapsed in the shaft . In this event, the well was at a depth of 175 meters to break and had given up. In 1899 a concrete plug was placed at a depth of 70 meters. A water tower was built above the shaft, the elevated tank of which was connected to the hut's water pipe. In 1900 a second tubbing column was attached and the resulting water was pumped out. A water basin was created in the shaft at a depth of 20 meters, in which the accumulating water was collected and pumped into the elevated tank by three pumps . A new shaft was added 130 meters from the shaft . In 1902 this shaft reached the Carboniferous at a depth of 330 meters . In 1903, the first level to the south was set at a depth of 359 meters (- 320 m above sea level ). In addition, a carbon copy was made for the Sterkrade colliery this year . In the following year, the 2nd level to the north was set at a depth of 385 meters (- 345 m above sea level).
The daytime facilities were built parallel to the sinking work . The daytime facilities were structured similarly to the daytime facilities of the Sterkrade colliery. A main and a secondary hoisting machine was installed. For dewatering a compound steam pump, an electrically operated were plunger pump and an electrically driven turbo pump installed. The composite steam pump could pump out one cubic meter of water per minute, the plunger pump could pump out five cubic meters and the turbo pump six cubic meters of water per minute. For the generation of compressed air one has Compressor installed with a capacity of 5700 cubic meters of compressed air per hour. For weathering a served mine fans who could suck 5,000 cubic meters of waste air per minute. The electrical supply came from the power station of the Sterkrade colliery.
Operation of the mine
In 1904 was the promotion started. In addition, a coking plant was built on the Hugo shaft in the same year . The first coal mined were not suitable for coke production because they were gas flame coals. In 1905 the 3rd level was set at a depth of 465 meters (- 425 m above sea level). In the same year a breakthrough was made with the Sterkrade colliery on the second level. Through this breakthrough, the Hugo colliery was linked to the Sterkrade colliery in terms of weather. Since the energy supply and drainage of both mines were carried out jointly, the two mines now formed a network. Both mines also had a joint operator , so the mining authority viewed both mines as one unit. For this reason, it was not necessary to sink a second shaft for the Hugo colliery. In 1909 another breakthrough was made on the third level with the Sterkrade colliery. In 1910, the weather management was adjusted so that the weather was discharged via the Sterkrade 2 shaft . In 1913, the shaft began to be deepened. In 1914 the sinking work was stopped. The reason for this interruption was the outbreak of the First World War . At that time, the shaft was 625 meters deep. In 1918 they started to sink a die from the 3rd level . In 1919 the 4th level was set in the Gesenk at a depth of 618 meters (- 578 m above sea level). In the following year, the Hugo shaft was sunk down to the fourth level. In 1929 three miners were killed due to dull weather .
The last few years until the shutdown
As part of the measures to concentrate the mining of the Gutehoffnungshütte mine, it was decided to shut down the Hugo colliery for mining. On April 1, 1931, the Hugo colliery was shut down and the construction site was assigned to the Sterkrade colliery. The coking plant was also shut down, only the Hugo shaft was still used as a weather shaft by the Sterkrade colliery. Most of the daytime facilities at the Hugo colliery were dismantled. In 1949 the shaft was spun off from the Osterfeld colliery and renamed Hugo Haniel . The reason for this renaming was to avoid possible confusion with the Hugo colliery in Gelsenkirchen. Apart from maintenance work, no other activities were carried out on the construction site. In 1955, the Hugo Haniel shaft began to be deepened. In 1956, the 5th level was set at a depth of 755 meters. In 1959, the shaft was finally taken over by the Osterfeld colliery. In 1971 the shaft was renamed Osterfeld 7 . In 1989 the shaft entered the Lohberg-Osterfeld mine . Later, the shaft was abandoned and in October of 1993 filled .
Promotion and workforce
The first workforce at the mine dates back to 1895, when seven miners were employed at the mine. In 1900 there were 47 miners working on the mine. The first production figures come from 1905, in that year 35,563 tons of hard coal were produced. The number of employees this year was 131. In 1910 there were 1164 employees on the mine, 314,629 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1913, around 402,000 tons of hard coal were mined by 1205 miners. In 1915 the production amounted to 312,706 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 1418 employees. In 1920, 311,121 tons of hard coal were mined, the workforce was 1543 employees. In 1925 the mine had 1,452 employees and 392,066 tons of hard coal were produced. In 1929 the mine was at its maximum output. This year 495,615 tons of hard coal were mined. The workforce was 1296 employees. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1930, with 1075 miners 375,792 tons of hard coal were extracted.
Current condition
The premises of the Hugo Haniel colliery have been completely cleared over the years and designated as an industrial park.
