The Mecklingsbank colliery is a former coal mine in Essen-Steele- Horst. The mine was also known under the names of Zeche Mecklenbecks Banck Court Horst , Zeche Merckling Hauß Banck , Zeche Mercklingsbanck , Zeche Mecklingsbanck Court Horst , Zeche Mecklingerbanck and Zeche Mäcklingsbanck . The mine mouth hole was located on today's Breloher Steig in the area of the railway underpass. The mine was on the border between the Principality of Essen and the County of Mark .
history
The beginnings
The mine was already in operation from 1725 to 1743. In 1751 a new guess was made . Another suggestion was made on April 19, 1754 by the trades Johann Bergmann and Diederich Schumann. The expectation was placed on the Längenfeld Mercklingsbank. The trades reported to the presumption that they have a tunnel from the Ruhr up from the seam ascended . They also have a shaft down to the coal sunk . Since this had incurred great costs, the trades required a field the length of a treasure trove plus nine measurements. The Längenfeld was awarded on May 27 of the same year . The field reached from today's Breloher Steig road to the Schmetterling Weg . After the ceremony, the mine was in operation, the tunnel was eastbound ascended . On July 16 of the same year the mine field was measured .
The further operation
The mine was in operation from 1755 to 1771. In 1772 the mine was closed in time limits . From 1773 the mine was back in operation. On January 17, 1775, Friedrich Johann Müser informed the Mining Authority that he was the sole owner of the Mecklingsbank on the basis of a contract dated November 1, 1769. In 1779, Müser added the trade union Ph. Heintzmann to the trade union . Heintzmann managed to technically upgrade the mine in just a few years. In 1783, the coal was in Unterwerksbau mined . The mining area was up to 20 meters cowardly below the tunnel floor . For this reason it was not possible to drain the pit water via a water solution tunnel . A further complicating factor was that this water penetrated the mine workings via the tunnel that was already deeper at the Ruhr flood . The conveyor shaft 13 was in operation during this period. To lift the pit water, the shaft was equipped with a pump system with double rods. This pump set was driven by horses. By using this art of pumping it was now possible to reach a flat height of 217 feet .
In 1784 there were already several production shafts. Substation construction was carried out in six locations . It was a floating seam with a thickness of four feet and two inches in Verhieb . The seam had a back pack two inches thick . As mining methods came Strossenbau used. In the same year the mine was by the head of the Brandenburg district mining office, the Baron von Stein traveled . At that time, the mine was one of the largest mines in the Brandenburg area. At the time of the visit, the mine was of a very high technical standard. Vom Stein gave information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance and payment of the miners employed there . Vom Stein was very impressed by the technical standard of the mine. He ordered the Steiger Westermann with two tusks to the Silesian mountain area so that they could teach the miners there the cutting techniques of the mine. However, Westermann returned at the beginning of the following year to continue his service at the Mecklingsbank colliery.
The time until the deadline
On March 9, 1787, the Längenfeld Newcastel was awarded. At this time the riser Westermann was already Lehnträger the mine. There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1794. In 1802 only minor mining was carried out. The mine was back in operation the following year. In 1809, two seams were in operation , the mine yielded yield that year . In 1811, daily routes 1 and 2 were in operation. At this point in time 53 ½ Kuxe were in the hands of the Treasury . In 1815 the mine was still in operation. In 1818 the mine was again laid in time limits. In 1826, day drives 1 and 4 were in operation. From June 1828, the mine was again laid in time limits. In January 1832 the mine was put back into operation and the mine field was further aligned . In 1834, the mine was initially still in operation, but in the course of the year it was again put in time limits. In 1837 the mine field was amended by Eintrachter Erbstollen solved . The mine was still within deadlines. It is not clear from the documents when the mine was closed. Presumably, the rightful owner was added to the Mecklingsbänker Erbstollen colliery in 1843 .
Promotion and workforce
The first workforce dates from 1755, when six miners were employed on the mine. The first production figures come from the year 1784, in the year 42 miners produced 78,600 ringlets of hard coal . In 1802, 3,600 ringlets were mined. In 1827 the production was 137,888 bushels of hard coal. In 1834, three miners extracted 7,439 bushels of hard coal. These are also the last known production and workforce figures for the mine.
