The Neuwülfingsburg colliery is a former hard coal mine in Albringhausen . The mine was also known as the Albringhausen colliery . It emerged from the Neu-Wülfingsburg colliery , which was operated in Albringhausen as early as the 19th century. The mine was the last colliery in the area of the city of Wetter.
history
The beginnings
In 1839 a steam engine was installed and put into operation at the Neu-Wülfingsburg colliery . This machine was used for hoisting the shaft . On September 22nd, 1846, a length field with a length of 1100 meters was awarded . From 1855 the mine was no longer mentioned in the documents.
The further operation
In 1934 the mine was built under the name Zeche Neuwülfingsburg in the mine field of the Zeche Neu-Wülfingsburg. In the same year the mine in the area of the Altenhains Berg road went into operation. The sinking work for a shaft of several tons was started. The shaft was sunk to a depth of 83 meters. In 1935 the ton-long shaft was put into operation. In August of the same year, mining began in the tonnage shaft. The resulting pit water was drained off via the dirt bank Erbstollen . In 1937, the ton-length shaft was expanded further. In 1940 the AGFU bought this mine to supply its Gevelsberg power plant . Next, in 1944, the old mine field of the closed Trappe colliery was bought. In the northern part of the mine field some were Flözteile mineable . In 1946, the tonnage shaft was mined to a depth of +156 m above sea level . Location 1 was at this depth, the bottom of the mine was at a depth of + 121m above sea level, corresponding to location 5. The deepest mining operation was on the bottom of the Trapper tunnel at a depth of + 98m above sea level. In 1948 the construction site had the dimensions of 4260 meters rising and 400 meters cross cutting. In 1951 a Seigerer shaft was sunk. The shaft was in the immediate vicinity of the railway station Albringhausen set . The shaft reached a depth of 60 meters. In 1952 the Seigere shaft was put into operation. On February 28, 1967, the Neuwülfingsburg colliery was shut down. With the closure of this mine, the dirt banker Erbstollen lost its importance. The seigere shaft was filled and covered with a concrete slab.
Promotion and workforce
The first production and workforce figures come from 1940, around 11,000 tons of hard coal were mined that year . The workforce this year was 38 employees. Only lean coal was extracted from the mine. In 1945, 100 employees produced 14,874 tons of hard coal. After the Second World War , production in the mine increased significantly. Already in 1950 the production rose to 51,580 tons of hard coal. The workforce was 220 this year. In 1955, with 225 employees, 71,855 tons of hard coal were mined. The following year, production rose slightly to 73,025 tons of hard coal, and the workforce this year was 232. In 1960, with 216 employees, 70,900 tons of hard coal were extracted. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1964. With 213 employees, 77,361 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1966, 46,000 tons of hard coal were mined. This promotion was provided with 136 miners. These are the last production and workforce figures for the mine.
Current condition
The chew building from the Neuwülfingsburg colliery has been preserved. This building, which also housed the lamp room , is the only building that has been preserved from the former mine. The former Neuwülfingsburg colliery is now a station on the mining circuit 3 (Albringhausen) of AK Wetter. The Külpmann natural stone company was located on the site of the Seigeren shaft until 2012. The company used the former laundromat as an office building. This is now used by a natural stone trade in Bochum. "Zeche Neuwülfingsburg" can still be found on the building today.
