The Quetterbank colliery is a former coal mine in Essen-Werden -Hamm. The mine was already in operation before the official license was granted.

Mining history

On June 17, 1782, the concession to operate the mine was granted by the Abbot of Werden. On April 30, 1796, a new concession was granted for the deepest. In 1802 the Geitling seam, then called the Quetterbank seam, was mined . Between 1805 and 1810 the area around shaft 4 was mined. In 1815 the mining took place at the Ludwig shaft. From March 1820 the mine was out of order, only existing coal was transported to the Ruhr . From 1832 the Quetterbank and Große Bovermannswiese collieries were operated jointly. A shared tunnel was in operation. In 1838 a new common tunnel was recognized and it was started, the tunnel excavate . The tunnel was provided to the coal fields to the two mines solve . In September 1840, the common tunnel reached the Nut Seam with a driveway length of 82.5 pods in the field of the Great Bovermannswiese colliery. After that, the Quetterbank colliery was put back into operation independently and the miners of the Quetterbank colliery continued to excavate the tunnel on their own. The dismantling began in 1841. The mine was shut down on June 6, 1846. The reason for this shutdown was a lack of sales of the coal produced. In 1847 the mine was closed in time limits . On April 18, 1851, a length field was awarded . In 1853 the Quetterbank colliery consolidated with other collieries to form the United Reher Dickebank & Erbstollen colliery.
