The Ilandsbraut colliery in what is now Heidhausen , a district of Essen, is a former coal mine , which was also known under the names of Zeche Ihlandsbraut , Zeche Handsbraut and Zeche Vereinigte Ilandsbraut . The colliery was created after 1826 through the consolidation of the Iland colliery with the Braut colliery in Bremers Busch , and was one of the founding members of the Association for Mining Interests .

history

The predecessor mines

One of the predecessor mines , the Bride colliery in Bremers Busche , also called the colliery in Bremersbusch , was a colliery in Heidhausen. In 1749 a tunnel was built by the Adam Engels & Consorten union . The tunnel was located south of Heidhauser Straße in the Volkswald area. There is evidence that the colliery was in operation in 1803. In 1805, shafts 2 and 3 were dismantled. In 1810, shaft 6 was mined. In 1813 the Bride colliery in Bremers Busche was temporarily within deadlines . In the same year, work began on shaft 7. In 1815 the mine was out of order. In 1824 a length field was awarded. Not much is reported about the second predecessor mine, the Iland colliery in Heidhausen. On July 14, 1826, three length fields were awarded . It is not known whether the mine was ever in operation. After 1826, the two previous mines were consolidated to form the Ilandsbraut colliery.

The following years as an Ilandsbraut

In 1832 the Ilandsbraut colliery was put into operation and a tunnel was set up. The mine mouth hole was in the Hesper Valley. In 1834 mining was already in progress . So that the mine could go over to civil engineering , the Flasdorf shaft, which took several tons, was sunk in 1835 in preparation . In the same year a combined steam engine was installed. This served as a hoisting machine and was also used for drainage . In 1836 Schacht Flasdorf was in operation, which had a depth of 40  puddles . Around 1839, the Ilandsbräutigam colliery was probably merged into the Ilandsbraut colliery. This colliery was only mentioned in the documents . In 1840 there was a breakthrough with civil engineering on the deepest tunnel floor at a depth of 45 puddles . In 1852, Sarnsbank was mined in the seam . In 1858 the Flasdorf shaft was mined on the underground floor. The bottom was a shallow depth of 199 laughs. The hoisting machine had an output of 12  HP , the water was lifted to the bottom of the tunnel with a 45 HP steam engine. In 1862, which was cross-cut , with the seam thickness bank resolved should be further to 21 5/8 Lachter ascended . The starting point for this cross passage was 100 puddles east of the shaft. At that time the mine was part of the Werden mining district . Due to strong water inflows, the civil engineering work was postponed in 1864 and the Ilands tunnel was prepared for extraction . In the following year, civil engineering was given up due to the insufficient performance of the dewatering machine. The mine operators planned to build a new civil engineering work on the railway line in the Hesper Valley. In 1867 the Ilandsbraut colliery was shut down and reopened in 1871. In 1877 it was closed again. In 1881 the Ilandsbraut colliery was closed.

Promotion and workforce

The first production figures come from the year 1834, 11,237 bushels of hard coal were extracted by 22 miners . In 1835, 20,044 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840, 47,428¼ tons of coal were mined. In the following year there was a considerable increase in funding. In 1842 around 12,000 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1858, 70 miners were employed at the mine. In 1861 the production sank to 29,606 Prussian tons of hard coal, this production was done by 40 miners. In 1871 there was a drastic collapse in production, with ten miners only 1224 tons of hard coal were extracted. The last known workforce and production figures of the mine date from 1873, with 16 miners 2812 tons of hard coal were mined.

Current condition

In June 2011, during construction work on Iländerweg, the rubble foundations of a shaft building from the 19th century as well as a coal seam and building remains from the 20th century were found.
