history

The beginnings

On July 2, 1751, a length field with the name Altena was awarded . The Längenfeld was initially awarded to the Altena colliery . The two seams Mausegatt and Kreftenscheer existed in the Längenfeld. Due to a court ruling, the western part of the field was separated on June 10, 1844, and was given the name Oberste Frielinghaus . The Oberste Frielinghaus family received the mining rights for the Oberste Frielinghaus field. On May 10, 1853 , the Oberste Frielinghaus colliery consolidated below the bottom of the St. Johannes Erbstollen with other mines to form the United Louisenglück colliery . In the same year, mining began in the Friedrich shaft in Muttental . This was a barrel-length shaft with a shallow depth of 16 holes . The shaft had to be shut down several times after 1853 due to various disturbances. The pit field was measured on June 11, 1754 .

The further operation

In 1855, the bill was amended by St. John Erbstollen solved . Part of the coal mined was also conveyed to the Ruhr through the hereditary tunnel . At this point in time, there were already three tunnels, the tunnel mouth holes of which were in the Muttental. The coal from the Louischen field was also extracted in the tunnel. In the same year a contract was signed with the Zeche Neubommerbank , through which it was regulated that the coal mined from the Zeche Neubommerbank could be conveyed through the Friedrich shaft. There is evidence that the mine was in operation between 1858 and 1864. In 1865 the Colliery Louischen in the mine field dismantled the Colliery Oberste Frielinghaus. Since then, the coal mined has been conveyed through the tunnel from Louischen to the Ruhr. In 1879 the mine was still in operation, after which the Oberste Frielinghaus colliery was closed. In 1881 the Oberste Frielinghaus colliery was dismantled by the United Louisenglück colliery. On December 31, 1921, the mine field was leased by the Gut Glück & Wrangel mine ; this lease contract expired in 1924. On February 25, 1926, a mining contract was signed with the owners of the United Hermann mine . In this contract, the remaining mining of the coal still pending in the Oberste Frielinghaus pit was regulated. On February 29, 1928, the mining contract expired.

Promotion and workforce

Edible coal was extracted from the mine. The first known workforce dates from 1864, when two miners were employed in the mine. The first known production figures are from 1867, when 535 tons of hard coal were produced. In 1869, 2368 tons of hard coal were mined, of which 2131 tons from tunnel construction and 237 tons from civil engineering . The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1874, with 15 miners 1925 tons of hard coal were mined, 846 tons of which in tunnel construction and 1079 tons in civil engineering.
