history
1870 founded Friedrich Grillo and the Cologne mine association AG the union King William , named after the then King of Prussia and later Kaiser Wilhelm I. Under this mining law union were now Berechtsame bought by liquidated mining operations in the north-west of Essen. The Christian Levin and Neu-Cöln mines, which had been drowned by floods, were bought up and the swamping of the interconnected mine workings was tackled.
First, Neu-Cöln went back into operation in 1871. The swamping of the mine workings required additional capital, which was achieved by transforming the union into the Essener Bergwerk-Verein König Wilhelm AG in 1872. From 1873 the Christian Levin colliery was also back in production. In 1889 the Wolfsbank colliery with the Neuwesel side shaft was bought by the Schalke mining and smelter association . In 1910, the König Wilhelm AG , which was also called the König Wilhelm mine, comprised the Christian Levin 1 and weather shaft , Neu-Cöln 1 , Wolfsbank 2/3 , Neuwesel and the Christian Levin coking plant and the Wolfsbank special coking plant .
