The Louisenglück colliery is a former hard coal mine in Schwerte-Westhofen . The mine has a history of over 60 years. The mine was located on the city limits of Dortmund-Syburg on the northwest slope of the Ebberg in the upper Mühlenbach valley, southwest of today's Braas riding stables.

Mining history

The beginnings

On February 21, 1778, the merchant Johannes Rupe from Iserlohn submitted a general approval to the Märkisches Bergamt. However, Rupe received no response from the mining authority to the request for encouragement . For this reason, Rupe was forced to act in May of that year. On May 23, 1778, a suspicion was made that a coal mine had already fallen into the open . With this suspicion, Johannes Rupe et Consorten appeared as mother. On July 8th of the same year and on August 25th of the following year, a mother named War Council von Sudhausen put forward a suspicion on an adjacent field. Both fields were on the north bank of the Mühlenbach. Since the trades did not follow the instructions of the chief miner and built their tunnels against the instructions, there was retrospectively a dispute between the owners of the two mines. When driving up his tunnel, Rupe had made a mistake about the direction of the compass. This error was initially not recognized by the mining authority. In 1783 Rupe changed the extent of his conjecture, changing the direction from west to east. On September 26th of the same year Johannes Rupe informed the mining authority that the main trades of the Glücksfortgang colliery had invaded his muted field Louisen Glück.

In 1786, to the west of Gut Kückshausen, the mining of hard coal began. In 1790 there was a dispute between the owners of the Glücksfortgang and Louisenglück collieries before the Bochum Mining Court . The reason for this dispute was the crossing of the marrow sheath by the main trades of the Glücksfortgang colliery. The mountain court decided that a perforated stone should be placed between the two pit fields . On September 27th, 1792, a perforated stone was set on the defined marrow of the pit of the Glücksfortgang colliery . The hole stone was set in the bush on an oak tree, about 118 meters east of the beginning of the shaft. The coal mine Glücksfortgang was assigned by the mountain court to the pit field east of the Lochstein. In addition, the Glücksfortgang colliery was allowed to use the tunnel it had excavated . Since then the tunnel has been called the Louisenglücker tunnel. Thereafter, the Glücksfortgang colliery did not carry out any further mining to the east. The Louisenglück colliery was decommissioned before 1796. On January 23, 1802, the mine was put back into operation. From January 23 of the same year, an old mining route was cleared in the field of the Louisenglück colliery . Subsequently, from May of the same year, the Sengsbank seam was mined at the Carl shaft, later the seam in the Wilhelm shaft area was mined. In 1804, the shafts Neuglück, Bush and Andreas were promoting . The Sengsbank seam was excavated until 1807. In order to carry out the excavation, additional shafts were sunk on both sides of the hollow. These shafts were equipped with hand reels for extraction . In February 1807 the Louisenglück colliery was shut down. On February 20, 1839, the name was changed to Zeche Abendsonne. The evening sun colliery was inspected on September 3rd. On April 1, 1843, a square was awarded . From 1888 tunnel construction was probably carried out in the vicinity of Kückshausen .

Current condition

From the Louisenglück colliery, a few pings and dumps have been preserved today. South of Gut Kückshausen are the pinge and the heap of the pit at the beginning. Southwest of the Kückshausen manor on Ebberg are the pinge and the dump of shaft No. 1. This is also where the pinge and the pile of shaft No. 2 are located. There is also a pinge of a light hole on Ebberg to the south-west of the Kückshausen manor . These pings and a small mine dump are the last remnants of the tunnel at the Louisenglück colliery. To the south of Gut Kückshausen there is also the perforated stone, it is located on the northern Ebberg.
