The colliery artwork was a coal mine in what is now the Bergerhausen district of Essen . At that time it belonged to the mining authority in Werden .
history
It is believed that mining began in the area of the artwork colliery as early as the middle of the 16th century. Accordingly, they can be counted among the oldest mines in the Ruhr area , and thus also in what is now the Essen city area. The colliery is mentioned in a certificate of settlement from 1687. It was named after a mechanical conveyor device, which was referred to as a work of art. In 1764 a tunnel was added from the Ruhr . There they operated a coal mine , the extraction of which took place via three shafts named Carl , Franz and Vance .
The industrialist Franz Dinnendahl , who lived in the neighborhood, equipped the colliery around 1816/1817 with machines, including two hoisting machines and two steam engines for lifting water, which made mining possible at greater depths. The main production well Wilhelm 1818 sunk . The facilities of the already closed neighboring sunshine mine of the Werden Mining Authority were taken over in 1821. Around 1833/1836 a third dewatering steam engine was installed by Johann Dinnendahl , brother of the late Franz Dinnendahl, in order to counteract increased water inflows from the Ruhr. In 1840 a total of five such machines were installed at the colliery. The maximum coal production of the artwork colliery was around 45,000 tons in 1855. In 1857 the pit was almost completely drained by water ingress.
In 1862 the artwork colliery ceased operations. It was finally shut down in May 1865.
