On June 2, 1948, the Lieselotte colliery went into operation. A lease field was worked on by Mansfeld AG for mining and smelting operations. The former Mansfeld 5 and Mansfeld 6 shafts were located on this lease field . In October of the same year, the Lieselotte company was founded. In 1950, a tonnage shaft was in operation. When the coal crisis began , the Lieselotte colliery came to an end. On September 30, 1958, the mine was stopped. On January 31, 1959, the Lieselotte colliery was shut down.
