The colliery New Cologne was a coal - mine in Essen-Borbeck .
history
After some mining companies had already found what they were looking for in the Borbeck area , the Cologne Mining Association, founded in 1847, began to develop larger mine fields in what is now the north of Essen .
In 1849 several mine fields in the area between Borbeck and Dellwig were combined under the name of the Neu-Cöln union . In 1852, the sinking of the first shaft began, which went into operation in 1855 and was equipped with a Malakow tower and driving skills . From 1860, an underground connection was established with the Christian Levin colliery that was built next to it . 1867 saw a flooding that brought promotion to a halt and the coal mine flood left. The mine was deferred .
1870, founded the Cologne mine-Verein AG in consortium with some investors to Essen Friedrich Grillo the union King William , named after the former Prussian King and later Emperor William I. . In this union , the Neu-Cöln colliery and the Christian Levin colliery, which at the time had been shut down after water ingress, were run as joint mine management with two conveyor systems. As a result, the name Zeche König Wilhelm became established in everyday language. First was New Cologne 1871 gesümpft be and the promotion resume.
After the union was converted into a stock corporation called Essener Bergwerkverein König Wilhelm AG , the restoration of both pits was pushed ahead. The Neu-Cöln colliery was initially operated as the only conveyor system. From 1872, the Christian Levin colliery also went back into operation after the swamp.
In the following years it was repeated swamping and clearing work on the Christian Levin colliery that weakened capital and slowed down the ongoing expansion of the mine. In 1891, the Neu-Cöln shaft was fitted with a drawn-in headframe on the Malakow tower. In 1906 a coking plant was started . From 1922 to 1926, the new Neu-Cöln 2 shaft was sunk next to shaft 1 , which took over the production.
Shutdown
Due to the global economic crisis , the conveyor systems of the Koenig Wilhelm colliery were combined into a few efficient shaft systems. After the construction of a new production shaft on Christian Levin , production on Neu-Cöln was stopped in 1931 . The coking plant was also shut down.
The Neu-Cöln shafts were preserved and were added to the Christian Levin mine as a weather and cableway shaft system. After the Sälzer-Amalie colliery abandoned the Christian Levin construction site in 1960, the two shafts were filled and the conveyor systems demolished.
Current condition
After the daytime facilities were demolished, the area on today's Neu-Strasse was built over with commercial settlements. No building can be directly assigned to the original mining use.
