The Richradt colliery was a colliery in Essen - Fischlaken . It was one of the oldest mines in Werdener Land (first mentioned in 1578).
history
In 1578, Richradter Berg raised the coal tithe. In 1695 there was another report about the colliery. A concession from the Werden Reichsabte on October 1, 1751 permitted the mining of the Unterhesperbach and an inheritance tunnel from the Nockmanns Wiesen from the Ruhr . After the colliery had been shut down for decades, it resumed operation in 1874 with Fritz Funke playing a key role .
Civil engineering through the Dreckbank shaft began around the middle of the 19th century. In the Geviertfeld Theodor the seams Abgunst , Dickebank, Feldbank, Hippe, Schmiedsbank and Sonnenschein were mined. By 1900 300 workers were extracting around 100,000 tons of coal a year. The Richradt shaft was also used for mining by the Carl Wilhelm iron and sulfur mine until 1906. The trade unions Carl Wilhelm and Richradt were taken over by the Hercules trade union in 1904 in order to increase their participation in the Rheinisch-Westfälischen Kohlen-Syndikat . In 1910 the Richradt colliery was closed because of the difficult manageable drainage . A few years earlier it was bought by Carl Funke , son of Fritz Funke.
Todays situation
On June 2, 1922, the street Am Richrath in Fischlaken was named after the colliery once located there, whereby the spelling mistake was made with th at the end of the name . At the end of this cul-de-sac at house number 50 there are structural remains of the Dreckbank shaft of the Richradt colliery, which was declared a ground monument on June 26, 2001 with remains of the foundations in the surrounding industrial desert.
