The Kurz Eggersbank colliery is a former hard coal mine in Witten- Hardenstein. The mine was also known under the name of Zeche Kurz Eggebank or Zeche kurzeggersbank or Zeche Kurtzeggersbanck . The mine was in the Hardenstein Valley.
history
The first years
On March 21, 1748, the assumption was made that a seam had already been built up earlier . The mine was operated around the year 1750. Starting from this operating point, which was about 250 meters south of the Hardenstein castle ruins, it was dismantled in an easterly direction . The area was surveyed in 1756, and the mine was presumably in operation after the survey. There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1771. In 1774 the mine field was measured again. In the following year the mine was mentioned in the documents as to whether it was in operation, but it is not clear. In 1784 the mine was in operation. The extraction took place in a shaft , the conveyor system of which was equipped with a chain (iron rope). The shaft had a deeper depth of about 50 meters. On June 29 of that year, the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . At this point in time, the hauling rope (chain) and the round tree were already in poor condition. The tunnel mouth hole was still open, but the tunnel was in a very poor condition and not passable . The Kurz Eggersbank colliery was one of 63 mines that vom Stein used on its journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. Vom Stein gave information about the condition of the mine in his protocol. He criticized the condition of the shaft, in particular the condition of the hoisting rope and the round tree. Von Stein gave instructions to replace the shaft's round tree. The wages of the miners employed in the mine also seemed to him to be too high.
The further operation
In 1786 a tonnage shaft was sunk . In 1792 the mine was by the St. John's Erbstollen solved . In the following years, especially the years 1796, 1800, 1803, 1805 and 1810, the mine was demonstrably in operation. In 1803, the union tunnel was opened together with other mines . In 1815 a shaft and a tunnel were in operation. In the same year a 185 Lachter long sliding path to the Ruhr was created. The following year, one was Langenfeld for the degradation above the lug sole awarded . In March 1819, coal was first extracted above the bottom of the tunnel, and the mine was shut down in the course of the same year. In 1829 the mine was closed in time limits . From July 1837 the mine was mentioned in the documents. In the course of this year, mining was again carried out above the bottom of the tunnel. 1547 bushels of hard coal were mined. In addition, work began on moving to civil engineering together with the Morgenstern colliery . In 1839 the short Eggersbank colliery consolidated with other mines below the bottom of the tunnel to form the Vereinigte Morgenstern & kurzeggerbänker civil engineering colliery. That year 3973 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. On September 18, 1854, the mine field fell into the mountain free . In 1884, Längenfeld Kurz Eggersbank, which had fallen into the mountain-free area, was re-awarded under the name Wrangel.
Wrangel
The Wrangel colliery in Witten-Hardenstein was created from the re-awarding of a Längenfeld that had already fallen out of the mountains. Very little is reported about the mine. It is not known whether the mine was ever in operation. In 1885, the bill consolidated Wrangel with the mine-luck to mine Good luck & Wrangel .
