history

Mühlmannsbank

On July 5, 1782, the abbot of Werden awarded the concession for the coal mine that had already started and was located in Mühlmannshof so that it could continue to be mined. The license was granted to Johann Mühlmann. In 1802 the mine was preserved in time . On March 11, 1808, the rightful owner was registered with the mining authority . On December 9, 1822, a guess was made as to the depths of the pit. On April 25, 1827, the daily drive was started over the old tunnel floor, then further mining was carried out. The coal was transported to the coal defeat on the Ruhr. At the end of December 1834 the mine was shut down. In 1836 and 1837 the mine was on time and in 1850 the mine was demonstrably back in operation. In 1858, two were studs in promotion . The mine was in operation in 1863, 1865 and 1866. The following year, the Mühlmannsbank No. I colliery with the associated shaft was taken over. In 1872 the Mühlmannsbank colliery consolidated with other collieries to form the United Flor & Flörchen colliery .

Promotion and workforce

The first known production and workforce figures for the mine date back to 1830, when ten miners produced 66,718 bushels of hard coal . The last mining and workforce figures for the mine date back to 1861, when 12 miners extracted 1,027 Prussian tons of hard coal.

Mühlmannsbank No. I

In 1839 there was a coal deficit on the Ruhr . On July 12th, 1842, the Mining Authority ordered another inspection. The inspection took place in 1848 . In 1850 a civil engineering shaft was sunk and a tunnel next to the tunnel of the Mühlmannsbank colliery was excavated . In the following year, the lending took place again. The mine was then in operation by means of tunnel construction . On April 22 of 1852 which was carried out surveying and Verlochsteinung of the mining area . On July 22 of the year 1855 was Langenfeld awarded prior to 1855, which was Berechtsame Zeche Carl awarded . The only known workforce at the mine dates back to 1858, when eight miners were employed at the mine. In the years 1857 to 1860 mining continued. In 1864 the shaft was sunk down to the level of the hollow. In 1867 the Mühlmannsbank No. I colliery was shut down due to water ingress and the rights of the Mühlmannsbank colliery were taken over.

Carl

Very little is reported about the Carl colliery. On March 20, 1847, a length field was awarded. It is not known whether the mine was ever in operation. Already before 1855 the authorization Carl was given to the Mühlmannsbank No. I colliery.
