The bill Pfingsblume was a coal mine in Bochum district Stiepel .
Mining history
On 12 March 1834, the Bochum Merchant Georg Cramer had about 100 Lachter south-west of the house of Heier man Stiepel, at the close of an opening into the meadow mountain canyon, a nine-inch powerful coal seam found and on presumption of the Royal Prussian Mining Authority inserted. A gorse in bloom close to where it was found prompted Cramer to register this suspicion under the name of a peony flower.
On March 13, 1834, Johann Heinrich Haarmann and his brother Georg Haarmann from Holthausen reported to the Mining Authority with further coal finds near the Pentecostal flower . They called their finds "Neuefund" and "Ludwig".
Due to a false discovery of Neue Zufall on April 14, 1832 by Heinrich Große Rumberg, legal disputes arose for the award of the United Pfingstblume colliery, which were finally decided in 1849 by a judgment of the royal high tribunal in Berlin. The award therefore took place on November 19, 1850. The pit field had a size of 0.7774 km² with an east-west extension of 1260 m and a north-south extension of 617 m.
In 1854 the above mentioned mutations were united under the name United Pfingstblume .
The commissioning took place in 1856 with the excavation of the tunnel . In 1857 the colliery house (to the right of the tunnel) was built.
What is left
In 2004 the Stiepeler Verein für Heimatforschung eV leased the colliery house and restored it. In 2006 the restored mine house was opened to the public.
Today the former colliery is a meeting place for the Stiepeler Verein für Heimatforschung eV .
To avoid mountain damage, the tunnel was cleared and renovated over a length of 52 m in 2011. At the end of the renovated area there is now a brick lattice wall, which offers bats a place to sleep and hibernate, and in front of it a seismic measuring station from the Ruhr University Bochum.
