The Mecklingsbänker Erbstollen colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Steele- Horst. The colliery was also known under the name of Zeche Mecklingsbänker Erbstolln I and II or Zeche Mecklingsbänker Erbstolln . The gallery was one of the most important in the region for many years.

history

In 1786, presumably, a presumption was made about the right to inheritance . It is not known whether the right to inheritance was granted . On October 21, 1833, the two Längenfelds Mecklingsbänker Erbstolln No. I and No. II, also called Mecklingsbank to the East and to the West, were awarded. The mine was put into operation in July 1838. A basic route was set up and driven. The tunnel was set up at Hof Feldmann and reached close to the Essen-Steele-West train station. The tunnel had a total length of 1.8 kilometers. The entry shaft of the gallery was at Hof Feldmann. In the same year, mining began in the Mecklingsbänker Erbstollen field. In 1840 a coal defeat was created on the Ruhr . In 1843 the Mecklingsbänker Erbstollen was probably merged with the Mecklingsbank colliery. In 1846 the mine was demonstrably in operation. In 1849 lead ore was found during the driveway in the south wing . It is not known whether the lead ore was mined. In 1854, pit horses began to be used to support the route . At that time the mine belonged to the Bochum Mining Authority. In 1856 , the Mecklingsbänker colliery partially consolidated the Erbstollen below the bottom of the Erbstollen into the Eintracht Tiefbau colliery. The mine was in operation from 1861 to 1867. In 1861, seams No. 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 removed. It was dismantled in the pillar construction , however, due to the bulky hanging wall , complex and therefore expensive carpentry was required . At that time the mine was part of the Steele mining district . In 1862 the mine was in regular operation due to the favorable geological conditions. On the north wing, a cross passage from seam No. 10. to seam No. 11. opened. From 1869 the mine was also called the Mecklingsbank colliery. In 1874 the deposit was almost exhausted, only residual mining took place. In 1877 the deposit above the bottom of the tunnel was dismantled, for this reason the Mecklingsbänker Erbstollen colliery was shut down in March of the same year. In 1897, which was Berechtsame the colliery Charlotte slammed shut.

Promotion and workforce

The first extraction figures are given for the year 1838, in that year 6,555 ⅞ Prussian tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1840 65,875 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1842, the production was 56,991 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1850, 22,516 tons of hard coal were mined. The first known workforce dates from 1854, in that year 154 miners were employed at the mine. In this year, the maximum production of the mine was achieved, 32,206 tons of hard coal were produced. In 1855, 121 miners extracted 137,671 tons of Prussian hard coal. In the following year, 108 miners extracted 150,642 tons of coal from Prussia. In 1862 the production sank below 150,000 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1865, 25,700 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1867, the production was 21,492 tons of hard coal. In 1869, 21,627 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1870, 85 miners produced 22,230 hard coal. In 1872 the production was 22,257 tons of hard coal, this production was provided by 77 miners. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1875; 39 miners extracted 10,286 tons of hard coal.
