The tunnel was located about 880 meters north of today's inn "Zum Deutschen". The tunnel was set on the Fundflöz Ernestine and had a final length of 100 Lachter . The Ernestine seam was 22 inches in thickness in this area . The coal height obtained was a maximum of 22 laughers. The tunnel was in the south ascended , while two were lying existing unbauwürdige seams passed through. In addition, a broken tunnel was cleared 200 laughers south of the new tunnel . Mining was also carried out in the excavated tunnel. With 14 miners , 4578½ tons of coal were mined that year . The coal mined was transported to the Ruhr. In the years 1858, 1863 and 1865 the mine was demonstrably in operation. In 1869, 25 miners mined 939 tons of hard coal. The Isenberg colliery was subsequently shut down.
