Slot 1 and 2

The bill Lohberg was a coal - mine in Dinslakener district Lohberg and later belonged to the group mine Lohberg Osterfeld .

history

The board members Fritz Thyssen , Joseph Thyssen and August Thyssen and mining assessor Arthur Jacob founded the Lohberg union on December 30, 1905 to supply the Dinslaken iron strip mill with coking coal . In 1907, the sinking of the Lohberg 1 and 2 shafts on the road between Dinslaken and Hünxe began . In 1912 the shafts reached the first seams at 475 and 481 meters .

From 1907 until the 1920s, the “ Lohberg ” colliery was built on the side of Hünxer Strasse opposite the mine.

In 1914, the colliery began production for the Thyssen steelworks. Around 1920 there were plans for the Lohberg 3 and 4 pits near today's Oberlohberg forest cemetery and the Lohberg 5 and 6 pits, which should have been built at the confluence of the Scharzbach and the Rotbach. In 1921 the Lohberg 3 shaft in Dinslaken-Hiesfeld was sunk, but was abandoned in 1922.

After the takeover by the Hamborn group of Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG , the Lohberg colliery was incorporated into the mining department of the newly founded Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG on April 1, 1926 . Due to the dismantling of the company demanded by the Allies, "Lohberg" fell to Hamborner Bergbau AG on July 3, 1953 .

In the 1950s, the above-ground facilities in particular were expanded with the participation of the industrial architect Fritz Schupp . In 1955/1956 the new headframe for the Lohberg 2 shaft was built, at 70.5 meters it was the highest in the entire Ruhr area at that time . Between 1960 and 1967, a new Lohberg 3 shaft was sunk northeast of the mine site ; it served as a retracting weather shaft . In 1983 another Hünxe shaft was sunk as a weather and transport shaft between Dinslaken and Hünxe . In 1992, at 1270 meters depth on the 5th floor , the composite distance between the pits "Lohberg" and " Osterfeld " ascended. From this point on, people spoke of the " Lohberg-Osterfeld mine ".

In 2000 the weather shaft 3 was filled .

Decommissioning and further use

At the end of 2005 the mine was shut down. Many of the more than 1,400 employees were transferred to other mines or took early retirement . Shaft 4 (Hünxe) was taken over by the Prosper-Haniel mine and was still active as a weather shaft.

Since June 2007, the colliery site has been demolished except for part of the historical structure (gatehouse, operations building and hoisting machine houses). In 2007, the Dortmund architecture firm stegepartner won the "Dinslaken-Lohberg colliery area" competition. The design by stegepartner intends to continue building the Alt-Lohberg district on the colliery site.

In 2008, the owner applied to be allowed to demolish the listed headframes above shafts 1 and 2. To prevent this, the Förderverein Fördertürme Bergwerk Lohberg e. V.

The shooting for the movie Kleine Morde took place in spring 2011 on the site of the colliery. In 2015, the colliery became the venue for the Ruhrtriennale . A musical theater adaptation of the plot of the feature film Accattone was performed in the coal mixing hall . There are clearly negative assessments of the question of whether this production could also reach the residents of Lohberg.

numbers

The "Lohberg" mine had the highest workforce in 1958 with 5,234 employees. "Lohberg" achieved the highest annual production with 3,135,415 tons of coal in 1979.
