The Nöckerbank colliery is a former hard coal mine in the Sundern district of Bochum . The mine was located on the Egge at Nöckersberg and was also known under the names Zeche Noeckerbank , Zeche Nöckersbank , Zeche Nockersbank and Zeche Neckerbanck . The mine is probably identical to the Weckerbanck colliery . The mine was located 200 meters north of today's Bochum observatory .

history

The beginnings

A mine was already in operation in the Nöckerbank mine field before 1737. In 1737 there were two production shafts and a tunnel . At that time the tunnel was 251 meters long and had been driven to the east . In the same year mining was initially carried out, later the mine was shut down. On February 21, 1764, a request was made to the Mining Authority to take possession of a Kohlbank that had previously been in operation. This request was submitted by the trades Johann Caspar Lindemann, Heinrich Wilhelm Wallbaum, Jörg Berndt Stratmann and Hermann Heinrich Stratmann. On December 8 of the same year, an application for a renewed award was submitted to the mining authority. The same trades as before appeared as mother . In 1765 a deeper tunnel was to be excavated. In addition, a broken shaft should be cleared up again. A length field was awarded on August 14, 1767 . However, the new mine owners had to pay the mining authority fees for the previous years in which the mine had been out of service.

The further operation

There is evidence that the mine was in operation in the period from 1769 to 1780. The coal was mined in the painting pillar construction. In the years 1781 and 1782 10,908 Ringel coal was mined. In 1784 the mine was still in operation. On June 2 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Nöckerbank colliery was the sixth mine that vom Stein visited on its journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. Vom Stein gave information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance and payment of the miners employed there . He praised the good quality of the coal mined at the Nöckerbank colliery. Vom Stein complained about the incorrect fastening of the drives in the shaft and gave instructions to have these deficiencies remedied. At this point in time the tunnel was 791 meters long. In 1787 a jointly used railroad, the Rauendahler Schiebeweg to the coal defeat on the Ruhr, was built. The railroad was 1,600 meters long. In 1792 the mine was listed under the name Zeche Weckerbanck on the Niemeyer's map . The mine was mistakenly named that way by the Markscheider Niemeyer. At that time the tunnel was 940 meters long. In 1796 the cornerstone was Schacht in promotion . On November 3rd of the same year the Nöckerbank colliery was shut down. In 1819, consolidated the bill Nöcker Bank with other mines for colliery thickness Baecker Bank & Anna Catharina .

Current condition

Today the perforated stone of the Nöckerbank colliery is still there. It is located on the meadow in front of a half-timbered house near the Bochum observatory. The stone bears the inscription MHS II 1769 . The inscription means Melchert Heinrich Schepmann (MHS), second perforated stone in the pit field (II), the year 1769 denotes the year the stone was erected. The Lochstein is part of the Baak mining trail in Bochum.
