The Nachtigall colliery was a hard coal mine in the Sprockhövel district of Hiddinghausen- Rennebaum. The colliery was also known as Zeche Nachtigal , Zeche Nachtigall im Braunsberge , Zeche Nachtigall im Brünsberge or Zeche Nachtigall im Brunsberge . The pit field of the Nachtigall colliery was worked by a mine called Kohlbanck in Brunsberg as early as the 17th century .
history
The beginnings
On May 18, 1643, a courtesy certificate was given to Peter Buck von Scheven to continue digging a tunnel that had already started . The tunnel was located near the Merklinghausen farm and was to be driven from the Schevener Grund in the direction of Merklinghauser Busch. In 1644, several small shaft- like depressions, so-called pütten, were sunk . The purpose of these pütten was to ventilate the tunnel. In October of the same year, the tunnel reached the area of Haßlinghausen. On October 16, 1645, a length field was enfeoffed by Diedrich von Diest. Since the mine was very remote, there was hardly any sales in the years 1660 to 1662. For this reason, the trades could not pay the extra fee . The dismantling was supposed to start again in 1662, but it did not happen. In the 18th century, the field was then worked on by the Nachtigall colliery.
The Nachtigall colliery was in operation in 1739, and a length field was measured in the same year . In 1755 they waited for the Stock & Scherenberger Erbstollen to be completed . According to the records of the Wetter office, the heirs Stock and Scherenberg owned the mine as trades in 1755 . From 1758 the mine was in operation in the area of today's Wittener Strasse at the corner of Brunsberge. In 1766 two length fields were measured. In 1775 the mine was only mentioned in the documents. From 1783 the mine was demonstrably back in operation. In 1787 the mine was listed on the Niemeyer's map . From 1796 the mine was out of service for several years. In 1822 the field was reopened. The opening took place through the light hole No. 22 of the Stock & Scherenberger Erbstollen. The mine was put back into operation in the same year.
The further operation until the shutdown
In 1829 the Lina shaft was sunk . The bay was tonnlägig in seam geteuft main seam to a depth of 64 meters. In 1830 the Lina, Lisette and Carl shafts were in operation. The Moritz shaft was built the following year. The shaft had a depth of 74 meters and was sunk over several tons in the main seam. It was located on a hillside and was equipped with a horse peg for extraction . A separate building was built for the Göpel. In 1835 the Bessereaussicht and Moritz shafts were in operation. Schacht Better views had a depth of 88 meters and was cowardly been drilled. In 1840 the Aurora and Bessereaussicht pits were in operation. In November of 1844 which reached the mining sector , the Mine for coal mine roof & Grevelsloch and was shut down. In 1845, a joint venture was formed with the Dreckbänker Erbstollen and the Neuglück colliery . The purpose of this joint venture was to sink a joint shaft . In November 1846 the Nachtigall colliery was put back into operation. After recommissioning, the Aurora shaft was dismantled. In the period from June to October of 1847 the mine was taken out of service. The reason for the measure was dull weather . In 1850 the trades had to pay additional fines. In the period from August 20, 1853 to May 3, 1855 , the Nachtigall colliery consolidated with the Neuglück colliery below the bottom of the Dreckbänker Erbstollen mine to form the United Nachtigall & Neuglück colliery . In September 1875 the Nachtigall colliery was closed.
Promotion and workforce
The first production figures come from the year 1830, at that time a production of 2819 tons of hard coal was provided. In 1835, 3005 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1837 the production was 20,245 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1840, 9,387 ½ tons of coal were mined. In 1842 the production was 9,979 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1850, 2150 tons of hard coal were mined. The first known workforce figures come from the year 1861, at that time 21 miners were employed in the mine who produced 16,004 bushels of hard coal. In 1869 the production was 313 tons of hard coal. In 1872, 23 miners extracted 6,978 tons of hard coal, which was also the maximum extraction of the mine. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1875; 807 tons of hard coal were mined by four miners.
Current condition
Little has survived from the Nachtigall colliery. The Lina shaft has collapsed over the years. The Schachtpinge and a small slope dump still remind of him today . There is also only one shaft penguin left from the Moritz shaft. The Schachtpingen are part of the Germany Trail of the AK Sprockhövel.
