The Neuglück colliery was a hard coal mine in the Sprockhövel district of Hiddinghausen-Rennebaum. The colliery was also known under the names Zeche Neuglück in Braunsberge , Zeche Neue Glück , Zeche Neuglück in Haßlinger Gehölz and Zeche Neu Glücker Bäncke . The mine was located in the area between Schemmansberg and Hoppe / Am Rennebaum.

Mining history

The mine was already in operation in 1739. A length field was measured on September 12, 1766 . It is not known whether the Längenfeld was awarded . The tunnel mouth hole was located on the Kreftingerbach in the immediate vicinity of the current federal motorway 43 . Dirt bank was dismantled in the seam. The seam was an unclean seam with a sack between the layers of coal. The mine was decommissioned before 1796. In 1826 the field was opened up again from light hole 22. The light hole belonged to the Stock & Scherenberger Erbstollen . That same year, the stock & scissors Berger main fault of the shaft was lucky early east drilled . The shaft was 60 meters deep. A few years later the Caroline shaft was sunk.

In 1830, the shaft Carolina was promoting . The shaft took up several tons and was 70 meters deep. In 1835 the Besseredich and Carolina pits were in operation. In 1840 the Besseredich shaft was in operation. In 1845 the Ernst shaft was in operation. In the same year a joint venture was formed with the Nachtigall colliery and the Dreckbänker Erbstollen. The purpose of this joint venture was to sink a joint shaft . In 1847 the Ernst shaft was still in operation. In 1850 the Vincke and Ernst shafts were in operation. In 1853 the mine was initially still in operation. In the period from August 20, 1853 to May 3, 1855 , the Neuglück colliery consolidated with the Nachtigall colliery to form the United Nachtigall & Neuglück colliery .

Promotion and workforce

The first production figures of the mine come from the year 1830, 1719 tons of hard coal were produced . In 1835 production rose to 2061 tons of hard coal. In 1838, 7,797 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 5,378 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1842, 4,192 tons of Prussian hard coal were mined. The first workforce dates from 1845, there were twelve miners in the mine. The production this year was 1996 tons of hard coal. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1850, 4449 tons of hard coal were produced.

Current condition

Little has survived from the Neuglück colliery. The Schachtpingen and the somewhat larger mine dumps are still reminiscent of the Caroline and Glücksanfang pits . The heap at the Caroline shaft was created by the heap of waste material that was left over from the mining of the Seam Dreckbank. The Schachtpingen and Halden are part of the Germany Mining Trail of the AK Sprockhövel.
