Mining history
From 1854 a total of six deep wells were drilled. In 1856 six square fields were awarded , these were the square fields Maria (Marie), King of Prussia, Victoria II, Sophia, Silistria and Java. The rightful covered an area of about six square kilometers. In the same year work began on digging a civil engineering shaft in the Java field . In 1857 the sinking work had to be stopped at a depth of 15 laughs . Water inflows of 80 cubic feet per minute had occurred. In order to be able to pump out this mass of water, the necessary machines first had to be installed. In the same year there was a floating sand in the shaft. In 1858 the shaft was sunk two laughs deeper by an English entrepreneur. In the same year subsidence on the surface of the shaft and collapses and fractures above ground occurred around the shaft . This ultimately led to the machine building above the shaft being destroyed. In addition, the bottom of the shaft swelled; the swellings were faster than the devil's progress. The mine operators were now planning to have a new shaft sunk by an English entrepreneur.
At a depth of 37.3 meters, the shaft was abandoned in 1859. That same year, 15 Lachter a new shaft was south of the old shaft attached . The shaft was sunk by an English entrepreneur. This dug it a few feet into the gravel of the Rhine Valley into the loose layers of the younger mountains by means of an iron Küvelage . However, the work was not satisfactory. On January 11, 1859, the Java square was awarded again. In the following year, the newly installed shaft also got stuck at a depth of 40.8 meters. The reason for the devil stop was the penetration of swimming sand. The shaft could not reach the carbon either and the Java colliery was closed for this reason. From this point on, the mine was no longer operated. In 1865 a plan to restart operations was decided. The company was dissolved the following year. In the years 1868 and 1872 a plan for the resumption of the sinking operation was drawn up. In 1910 three deep wells were drilled. In 1911 the rightful owner was given to the Diergardt colliery , and in the same year there was consolidation to the Diergardt II colliery. In 1912, the Diergardt II union began to dig a new shaft at the same location as the old shaft. Shortly after the beginning of the devastation, the shaft was renamed the Franz Ott shaft (shaft 3).
