The Papenbank colliery is a former hard coal mine in the Bochum district of Linden in Weitmarer Holz. The mine was in operation for over 70 years. The mine was located 230 meters north of the Nöckerbank colliery , near the Bochum observatory .

Mining history

The beginnings

On January 2, 1751, an application for the granting of a mine field was submitted. The award certificate was probably lost after the award. In the years 1754 and 1755 the mine was on time due to a lack of sales . On June 14, 1755, the trades submitted a new application. On January 16 of the same year, a length field was awarded. The field was in a sieve in Papenloh near the Lindener Ostholz and had a length of 510 meters. From 1758 to 1763 the mine was demonstrably in operation and yielded yield . The mine was in operation from 1764 to 1768, but it is not known whether it was still yielding at that time. On August 1, 1770, the award was extended. Now the owner F. Müser got another 526 meters to his field. As a result of this expansion, the mine field now had a length of 1036 meters. As a result, the field now protruded over Blankensteiner Strasse and reached as far as the western marrow of the Haarmannsbank colliery . A survey was carried out the following year . In 1772 the mine was to be solved by the St. Georgen Erbstollen .

The further operation

The mine was in operation in 1784, there was a tonnage shaft with a depth of 22 holes . The shaft was provided with drives for driving . In addition, three locations had been driven to the east. At this point in time, the basic stretch was 20 piles away from the shaft. The three routes were in operation alternately. It has a height available of around 35 meters. It was built in a seam that was divided into two banks by a mountain pack. The lower bank had a thickness of three feet , the upper bank was 2 feet thick. The lower bank was through a tunnel from the west in Verhieb taken.

On June 2 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Papenbank colliery was the fifth mine that vom Stein visited on its journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. Vom Stein gave information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance and payment of the miners employed there . He noted in his log the amounts of coal that were stored in the mine and the coals that were stored in the coal defeat. In his log, he noted the poor quality of the coals and indicated how the coals could best be transported. Vom Stein complained about the condition of the journeys in the shaft and gave the mine shift supervisor the task of having these defects rectified. A length field was awarded on May 16, 1789. In 1796 the area of ​​shaft 5 was mined . In the following year, the excavation took place in the area around shaft 6. Around 1800 the excavation above the tunnel floor was finished. In 1805 Schacht Mina was promoting . On March 4th, 1808, the mine was closed.

The last few years until the shutdown

On January 4th, 1845, the Papenbank colliery was put back into operation. A seam 70 inches thick was mined. This year the pit field was aligned from the St. Mathias Erbstollen . The coal mined was conveyed through the St. Mathias Erbstollen and its own upper gallery . In the same year the Hermann shaft was sunk and the shaft went into operation in 1847. From 1851 to 1855, the Papenbank colliery, together with the Johann Friederich colliery and the St. Mathias Erbstollen, were referred to as Baaker collieries. At that time, the mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Dahlhausen . The Papenbank colliery was in operation from 1858 to 1865. The last representative of the Papenbank union was the court assessor Rosendahl von der Henrichshütte. In 1867 the Papenbank colliery was closed.

Promotion and workforce

The first mining and workforce figures come from the year 1850, 60 miners were employed in that year who produced 8,550 tons of hard coal . In 1855, with 246 miners, 115,546 ⅝ Prussian tons were extracted. However, the numbers from this year refer to all three Baaker collieries. In 1867, 149 tons of hard coal were mined. These are also the last known production figures for the mine.
