The former Kleinzeche Plaetzgesbank in Essen - Heisingen , early 1950s

The Plaetzgesbank colliery , also referred to as: Plätzgesbank, Plätzkesbank, Plätgesbank (presumably identical to Raetzgesbank ), was a hard coal mine in the Essen district of Heisingen , north of the Ruhr , directly across from the Heinrich colliery (whose headframe is part of the " Route Industrial Culture ") located.

Brief description

The approximately 150 cm deep and 200 cm wide pinge , directly below the brick wall, probably the shaft wall , on the former premises of the Kleinzeche Plaetzgesbank, in Essen-Heisingen.

General

The former Kleinzeche Plaetzgesbank in Essen-Heisingen, once located between Ostpreußenstraße and Wuppertaler Straße, has largely disappeared from the consciousness of mine enthusiasts and people researching mining. It remained the only colliery in Essen-Heisingen that did not belong to Carl Funke until the end . Perhaps that is the reason for their more or less neglectful treatment, even with mining tours in this area, which was formerly characterized by coal mining. The Mausegatt , Kreftenscheer 2 and Geitling seams were mined . The coal deposits in the Mausegatt and Kreftenscheer 2 seams came to an end in the foreseeable future in the mid-1950s, and the same applied to the Geitling seam. For this reason, a mining contract for Geitling seam within the Geviertfeld of the Heinrich colliery was concluded with Heinrich BAG as early as 1956 . Throughout its existence, Plaetzgesbank had to struggle with problems, not just financial ones, which, even after its shutdown with the demolition, the proper restoration of the surface and the final payment of the security, continued until the end of 1964. The excellent anthracite coal mined on Plaetzgesbank was hardly suitable as a house fire , because it developed an immense heat, which sooner or later burned the stoves to pieces. As an energy supplier, however, it was in great demand far beyond the borders of Essen. Once a week, trucks from Brussels were even parked on the coal field below the coal bunker to load coal on behalf of the “Belgian State Mint”.
