history

The beginnings

On January 20, 1763, it was enfeoffed by the Abbot of Werden . From the year 1765 with loss of coals in tunnel construction started. On February 28, 1783, the new award by the Abbot of Werden took place. In 1802, a ton-long shaft was in operation. In 1825, the excavation of a deep tunnel began. The mouth of the tunnel was on the Hardenbergufer east of today's Haus Scheppen. The tunnel, which was called the Franz tunnel from 1828 , was excavated from the Ruhr valley in a south-westerly direction. The mine went into operation that same year. In 1827, the sinking work for the Wilhelm shaft began in the Hesper Valley . In 1829 the mine was operated only intermittently and on a small scale. From 1830, the mine was closed in time limits . From December 1834, work in the Franz gallery was resumed. In 1836 a contract was formed with the United Hippe colliery. The purpose of this contract was the continued operation of the Tiefen Stolln Franz. In 1840 fixtures and test work were carried out. After the tunnel location of the Tiefen Stollen stood 40 Lachter west of the Hesperbach, the contractual partnership with the United Hippe colliery was terminated. The total length of the tunnel was now 436¼ laughs. In 1842 the Wilhelm shaft received a hand-operated göpel . Alignment and installation work continued underground . Extraction began in the following year .

The other years

In 1850, the shaft Wilhelmine also served to promote the coal mine Aline . In addition to the Paul shaft, there was also a weather shaft with a length of several tons. On September 23 of the same year the Längenfeld Paul was awarded. From 1855 the mine was again within deadlines. On September 23, 1856, the Längenfeld Paul II was awarded. Between the years 1860 and 1865 the mine was in time limits. From 1866 the mine was back in operation. In 1868 the Heinrich colliery was taken over. In 1880 the Wilhelmine shaft reached a depth of 174 meters below the bottom of the tunnel . In 1881 the Heinrich field was transferred to the Richradt colliery . From 1885, the Nöckerskottenbank colliery was also mined via the Wilhelmine shaft . In 1892 there were three shafts, a tonnage shaft and two weather shafts. 1. The sole was (112 meters at a shallow depth of 134 meters Seiger ) and the sole 2 at 200 meters flat (162 meters Seiger). The fields Aline, Schinkenbank as well as Paul and Paul II belonged to the mine field . These fields were developed in the following years via the second level. The company buildings were located on Scheppener Weg near today's mountain cemetery. In 1897 the mine was in regular operation. At that time the mine was part of the Werden mining district . In 1900 two tonnage shafts were in operation. The mining in the Nöckersbank field was unsatisfactory at this point. In the following years there were repeated strong water ingress, so that the operation of the mine was restricted.

The last few years

In 1902 the second sole was thrown off and drank. From now on, mining concentrated on the 1st level. In 1903 part of the field was dismantled from the Richradt colliery. In 1904 the first level was also under water, and mining was now carried out above the first level. Before 1909, the disused Nöckerskottenbank colliery was taken over. On March 13, 1911, the Paul colliery was shut down due to high water inflows. In the years 1917/18 further mining was carried out in the field of the mine of the Olga colliery. In 1924, after a few years of operation, the mine was finally shut down.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production figures come from the year 1840, in that year 471½ tons of hard coal were produced . In 1842, 949 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1845 33,988 bushels of hard coal were mined. The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1867, when 21 miners were employed at the mine. The production this year was around 3900 tons of hard coal. In 1870 3,141 tons of hard coal were mined, the workforce was 16 employees. In 1876, 2612 tons of hard coal were mined with 13 employees. In 1879 there were 30 employees at the mine, the production was 6534 tons of hard coal. In 1881, 33 employees mined 5069 tons of hard coal. In 1885, 11,337 tons of hard coal were mined, the workforce was 51 employees. In 1890, 63 employees mined 17,748 tonnes of hard coal. In 1895, the production was 14,788 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 61 employees. In 1900, 75 employees produced 16,208 tonnes of hard coal. In 1905 10,552 tons of hard coal were mined, the workforce was 45 employees. In 1910, 36 employees mined 8 949 tons of hard coal. In 1924, 104 employees produced 18,501 tonnes of hard coal.
