The Krockhausbank colliery in the Bochum district of Stiepel , district of Haar, is a former hard coal mine . The mine was also known as the Zeche Krokhausbank and Zeche Krockhaus . The mine was located in the area of today's Krockhausstrasse.
Mining history
On August 3, 1760, Konrad Krockhaus proposed the idea . The Muter Krockhaus unsuspected a treasure trove and six Maaßen a coal bank. The carbon bank, which already erschürft was, was in Stemmans Siepen. After 1760 a cross-cutting tunnel was driven. This tunnel should open up the seams that existed here . Operation began around 1770. The operation was probably with a few interruptions. The reason for this was that the colliery's deep reserves were to be tapped through the St. Georgen-Erbstolln that was built at the time . In 1771 the mine had not yet been surveyed , and no recession funds had yet been paid. As trades time Konrad Krockhaus, Johann Wilhelm Müser, Friedrich Vahlefeld, Johann Gottfried Schröder, Franz Grolmann and Ratmann Wünnenberg were in this documentation entered. Konrad Krockhaus was also a supporter.
There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1772. On October 14, 1783, a length field was measured in the area of the production shaft . In 1787 the mine was still in operation. In 1798 the mine was in deadlines laid This was due to repair work on the old production well. In 1800 the mine was still in time limits. In February 1839, an exploration was made from the upper gallery of Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen . In the same year, little mining was carried out until September . The Längenfeld was measured again on December 22nd, 1840. Even before 1841 the colliery belonged to Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen. In 1843 the mine was again within deadlines. From 1865 the mine was back in operation. In 1867, 324 tons of hard coal were mined. The Krockhausbank colliery was shut down during the year. In 1903 the Krockhausbank colliery was added to Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen.
