The Nierbank colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Werden- Fischlaken. The colliery was also known as the Zeche Nierer union . The mine mouth hole was located on the bank of the Ruhr .
Mining history
The mine was already in operation in the 18th century. At that time, a coal store had been set up on the Ruhr to store the coal. On June 5, 1793, a settlement was made with the trades of the Pörtingsiepen colliery , with which disputed mining permits were settled. In 1803 the mine was demonstrably in operation. In 1805 the area was in the shaft 3 mined , in 1809 the reduction was in the area of the shaft 4. In 1812, were bay 3 and bay 4 in operation from 1815 to 1820 was Schacht Bernhardt in promotion . In May of 1823 the mine was taken out of service. In 1834 a joint venture was formed with the Maasbank colliery - this was called Maas & Nierbank colliery - which served to solve the two mine fields . In 1837 the joint venture was dissolved and the colliery was again independent. Experimental work was carried out. In the following year, the mine field was initially further aligned , and mining began in April of the same year .
The dismantling came to an end in 1843 and the Nierbank colliery was shut down at the end of November of the same year. The reason for the closure was the planned consolidation of the two mines. As a result of the consolidation, both mines wanted to go over to civil engineering together . In 1845 the Nierbank colliery was closed. On August 16, 1853, a length field was awarded . From the fourth quarter of the same year, hard coal was extracted again at the mine . The mining took place until the end of October 1854, on November 1st of the same year the Nierbank colliery consolidated below the bottom of the tunnel with further mines to form the United Pörtingsiepen colliery. At this point, there was no more mining above the bottom of the tunnel. In the years 1855 and 1856 the Nierbank colliery above the bottom of the gallery was still mentioned in the documents , after 1856 it was no longer mentioned.
Promotion and workforce
The first production figures come from the year 1802, 71 ringlets of hard coal were mined per day . The first workforce dates from 1819, in that year 17 miners were employed at the Nierbank colliery. In 1838, 7001¼ tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 the production rose to 18,089 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1842, 16,766 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. The last known production figures of the mine are from 1843, 36,888 bushels of hard coal were produced.
What is left
Today the Niermannsweg in Essen still reminds of the former mine.
