The Oberschmalscheid colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Werden- Fischlaken. The mine emerged from the renaming of the Schmalscheid colliery . The mine was also known as the Zeche Oberschmalscheidt .

Mining history

In the Schmalscheid coal bank , hard coal was mined as a sideline as early as the second half of the 17th century . The dismantling was always carried out when the field work was idle. In the 18th century, operations in the coal bank were carried out intermittently. The Oberschmalscheid union was founded in the 18th century . On December 29, 1776, the Oberschmalscheid union received permission to dismantle the Schmalscheid coal bank with a tunnel . In 1783 the Pörtingsieper tunnel was destroyed by the works of the Schmalscheid colliery. According to the concession, this tunnel was set deeper by the Abbot of Werden and was driven in the Schmalscheid seam. As a result of this intervention, a process that lasted for years was carried out. In 1788 the Oberschmalscheid union lost this trial in the third instance against the Pörtingsiepen union (Schmalscheider Unterstollen union). Around 1790 the mine was renamed Oberschmalscheid.

After the name was changed, the mine was in operation from 1802. This year, 67 ringlets were extracted every day. From 1805, shaft 2 was dismantled. In 1809 there were disputes with the Pörtingsiepen colliery . The background to these disputes were unclear mining rights with the Schmalscheider Unterstollen union. This dispute lasted until 1829. In 1812, shaft 3 was mined. This shaft had a deeper depth of 24 laughs . In 1816 the Anton shaft was mined. Shaft Anton had a deeper depth of 16 laughs. In 1820, the shafts Anton and Eduard in were promoting . This year 14 miners were employed at the mine. In 1826 the Amalia and Samuel shafts were in operation. In 1829, 74,440 bushels of hard coal were initially mined; in August of the same, the Oberschmalscheid colliery was shut down. Around 1860 was mining area of coal mine Pörtingsiepen slammed shut.
