The Nepomuk colliery in Fröndenberg-Strickherdicke is a former hard coal mine . The mine was also known as the Zeche Nepomuck .

history

Already around the year 1575 mining was being carried out on the mine field. The colliery was first mentioned by name in 1737. On September 29, 1770, the Scheda monastery in Wickede encouraged several seams crossing through the Ardeyer field as well as through Siepen and the Strickherder Heide . The provost von Bönninghausen and the capitular von Reusch appeared as mother . The mother coveted a mine field the size of a treasure trove and 20 dimensions . The mining authorities forbade the nuts from any coal mining until inspection . On April 10, 1771, the assumption was expanded. The mining authority accepted the expectation. As soon as a coal bank was exposed, an inspection should be made. Only then should a license be granted. A few days later, on April 25, the secretary of the Premonstratensian monastery at Scheda appeared at the mining office and stated that no prospecting work had yet been carried out. The reason for this was that the soil was heavily permeated with water. In addition, at this point the fields had already been sprinkled with seeds and the digging would have caused greater damage. The prospecting work was carried out in the course of the year. Since up to this point in time, since the entry in the lending book and the mountain counter-book, no recession funds had been paid, the mine was in the royal open . The Mining Authority continued to insist that a coal bank must first be exposed and the legal fees due must be paid. Only then can the mortgage lending and measurement be applied for and the concession granted. On November 12, 1774 the production shaft and an old production shaft 80 meters east of it were measured . The pit field was the size of a treasure trove and 20 dimensions. The Nepomuk colliery was out of service around 1780.
