The beginnings
The mine was mentioned in the documents as early as 1650. On June 1, 1671, the lending took place , later the mine field belonged to the Scherenberg colliery . There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1737 and 1739. In the years 1754 and 1755 was a deep sough ascended , this Erbstollen also served for the solution of mine Egger Bank . In 1765 a shaft was in operation that used a winch for extraction . From 1775 the mine was called Zeche Lehnbank & Striepen . In 1782 the mine by the Silesian Mountain director was Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Reden navigate . At the time to passing over the mine was for the third time by a cleat released Service. However, this tunnel was not yet the Tiefen Stock and Scherenberger Erbstollen , but the Stock and Scherenberger Tollen. This tunnel gave the Lehnbank colliery a water-free construction height of up to 15 pools .
In 1783, shafts 7 and 8 were in production. Both shafts were connected at the deepest point by a cross passage. The coal mining took place in the seam Mausegatt . On July 3, 1784, the mine was opened by the head of the Brandenburg mountain district, Freiherr vom Stein . The Lehnbank colliery was one of four mines that von Stein visited on this day on its eighteen-day journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. At the time of the visit, three locations were being driven, some of which were not yet penetrable . Vom Stein gave information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance and payment of the miners employed there . In 1796 the mine belonged to the Stock & Scherenberg main mine and was in operation in the Lehnbank field. In the same year the Caspar, Balster and Melchior shafts were in operation. From 1796 the mine was part of the navigable area of the Obersteigers Hilgenstock.
The further operation
In 1800 the Lehnbank field was closed, and the Arnd and Weber shafts were in operation on the Striepen field. In 1805, the Abraham, Caspar, Catharina, Marcus, Lucas, Friederica and Jacob shafts were being mined. In 1810 the Caroline and Meserach pits were in operation. In 1815 the Sybilla shaft was in operation in the area of the upper adit, while the Adam, Caroline, Doris, Justus and Maria Catharina pits were in operation in the deep adit. In December 1819, the old Scherenberg mine was taken over. In the following year, the Rosa and Friedrich Wilhelm shafts as well as another, not named, air shaft were in operation. In March 1821 the Lehnbank colliery was merged with other mines to form the Stock & Scherenberg main mine.
Promotion and workforce
The first funding and workforce figures come from the year 1781, when 3313 tons of hard coal were extracted. The workforce this year was 60 miners . In 1805 4200 tons of hard coal were mined, this was the highest annual output of the mine. The last known production figures for the mine are from 1808, 3060 tons of hard coal were extracted.
