The Lina 1 colliery is a former hard coal mine in the Vormholz district of Witten . The colliery was a small colliery that arose from the renaming of the Schalk colliery. The owner of this small mine was Gustav Schalk. Later the Lina 1 union took over the mine. The Lina 1 colliery was only in operation for a few years. The main extraction point of the mine was on Rauendahlstraße north of the curves.

Mining history

On November 1, 1947, the small mine on Rauendahlstrasse was put into operation under the name of Zeche Schalk. It was mined through a tunnel in the Geitling and Kreftenscheer seams . Mausegatt was later dismantled through a tonnage shaft in the seam . On October 30, 1949, the Finkensiep colliery field , which was only in operation from May 30 to October 31, 1949, was taken over with two mining sites. One of these mining sites was in the Geitling seam, the other in the Kreftenscheer seam. In 1950, the Schalk colliery was internally renamed to Lina 1 colliery. On December 4th, 1951, the official name was changed. From 1951 the mine had two operating sites. One of the operations was on Rauendahlstrasse, by today's Göpelschacht with a three-tree, the other, which was later added, was in the young owl forest. Here a ton-long shaft was operated up to the Kreftenscheer seam. The shaft was at least 80 meters deep .

The degraded coals were in the shafts in handling tons of above ground supported . The conveyor barrels were guided in the shaft on rails . It was also dismantled at this site in the Geitling seam. The mine had a steady buyer for its coal. Most of the coal extracted was ground to fine coals and used in a customer's dust furnace. The solution of the mine water was carried out by the St. John's Erbstollen . On December 6, 1951, a stone fall occurred in which two miners were killed. On May 5, 1952, the operating plans for mining in the Geitling and Kreftenscheer seams were submitted to the mining authority. In the second half of the same year, mining in the Geitling seam was stopped. In the period from March 6th to May 30th, 1958, the mine was out of order. On July 30th of the same year, the Lina 1 colliery was shut down. Since the mine also dismantled safety pillars in some areas in the near-daytime area , several day breaks subsequently occurred in the affected areas .

Promotion and workforce

The first production and workforce figures are given for the year 1950, in that year 2692 tons of hard coal were mined by 33 miners . The colliery's maximum funding was provided in 1954. This year, 3496 tons of hard coal were mined with 20 employees. In 1955, 2550 tons of hard coal were mined with 13 employees. The last known production figures of the mine are from 1957, 3174 tons of hard coal were produced. This funding was provided by eleven employees.
