In 1953, shaft 2 was sunk, the starting point of this shaft was west of Holzwickeder Straße. In 1955, the fourth level was set in shaft 2 at a depth of 83 meters (+84 m above sea level). In the following year, on October 30th, operations were stopped because the colliery had become uneconomical. In 1957 it was finally shut down. The shafts were filled and the daytime facilities were demolished. On July 31 of the same year, the miners deregistered. With the closure of the Joseph mine, mining in Holzwickede also ended.
