The Kandanghauer colliery in what is now the Burgaltendorf district of Essen is a former hard coal mine . It was also known as the Kardanghauer colliery and had only been in operation for about 27 years. The Kandanghauer colliery was one of the founding members of the Association for Mining Interests .

history

The beginnings

In 1840 tunnel construction was carried out and a coal magazine was built. The mine was in operation from 1850 to 1854. On December 1, 1854, a square was awarded . In the following year they went over to civil engineering . It was started to sink a deeper shaft . The shaft was called Schacht Wilhelm, the starting point of the shaft was east of Dumberger Strasse. In the same year, work began on erecting a building for a combined conveying / water holding machine . In 1856 the sinking work was continued. At that time, the mine was part of the Altendorf mining area . In 1857 the first level was set at a depth of 73 meters (+11 m above sea ​​level ). In 1858 was one at a depth of 109 meters (-25 m NN) midsole set. The water inflows during the sinking operations were 1 1/2 cubic feet per minute. This year there were 50 miners at the colliery. It was planned to drive a midsole underneath the weather sole . The 80 inch thick seam No. 1 unlock.

The other years

In 1859 the Seigere shaft reached a depth of 74 3/4 laughs . During the sinking work, a disturbance was found and seam no. 1 found 10 laughs lower than expected. Water inflows rose to ten cubic feet per minute that year. Promotion began in the same year . In addition, the southern hollow of the Altendorf colliery was loosened on the weather sole and the midsole this year . In 1860, the shaft was sunk to a depth of 87 pools. In the same year, the second level was set at a depth of 149 meters (−65 m above sea level). In the same year, the excavation of the northern cross passage began on the first excavation level . The cross passage served to solve the southern Altendorfer Mulde and reached seam no. 2, which had a thickness of 18 units . The northern crosscut was extended to seam no. 3 opened.

The following year the shaft reached a depth of 101 3/8 laughs. With the northern cross passage, seam No. 2 1/2 drive through. The seam was seventeen inches thick, of which seven inches were coal and ten inches were coal-iron . The seam had a north dip of 71.5 gons . In addition, the northern weather cross-cut in the southern Altendorfer Mulde was driven further this year. With this cross passage, seams No. 3, No. 3 secondary seam and No. 4 solved. In 1862, the second building level was set in the Wilhelm shaft at a depth of 101 puddles. The shaft was then sunk deeper. The sinking work had to be interrupted twice, each time the reason was a machine breakdown. By the end of the year, the Wilhelm shaft had been sunk to a depth of 117 pools. A dewatering machine with an output of 200 hp was purchased so that there could be no further breakdowns during the sinking work. The work also continued underground. On the first level, the main solution cross-cut was driven further north by 60 7/8 lights. During the excavation, seam No. in the southern Altendorfer Mulde was excavated. 3 and seam No. 3. Drive through the secondary seam. The trades of Kandanghauer intended, their Berechtsame from the mine brotherhood resolve to leave. Thus, in the same year, a solution agreement was signed with the Zeche Brüderschaft.

The last few years

In 1863 the third level was set at a depth of 269 meters (−186 m above sea level). In addition, the main alignment crosscut was set on this floor and 7.5 puddles were raised. The main cross passage on the second building level was driven over a distance of 20 pools in very solid sandstone . In the same year the mine sheath of the United Brotherhood Colliery was reached. In addition, this year a cross passage was built on the first building level to solve seam No. 4 started. The cross passage was in seam No. 3 secondary seams, 50 puddles west of the main cross passage, applied. In 1865 the first tests with a pneumatic drill were carried out at the Kandanghauer colliery . However, there were no promising results by the end of the year. The colliery was demonstrably in operation in 1866, but it went out of operation the following year. The Kandanghauer colliery was then taken over by the Altendorf Tiefbau colliery.

State today

Today the shaft cover of the Wilhelm shaft is still in place. The former Wilhelm shaft in Essen-Burgaltendorf on the Haverkamp street is located in a wooded area, there is a fence around the shaft.
