The colliery rose and flowers Delle, short bill rose flowers dent, was a coal - mine in Mülheim an der Ruhr in the district hot area. The colliery was created in 1841 from the merger of the four small collieries Tutenbank , Rosendelle , Blumendelle and Kämpgeswerk . At the beginning of the joint coal production, the colliery was called the United Rosen- und Blumendelle. From 1856 to 1859 the Rosenblumendelle 1 shaft was sunk in Heißen .
Mining history
The collieries of Hagenbeck, Humboldt and Wiesche were merged by August Thyssen , Hugo Stinnes and the banker Gustav Hanau in 1898 to form the Mülheimer Bergwerks-Verein (MBV). Rosenblumendelle finally joined the MBV in 1903. The promotion to focus on, beside pit 1 the pit 2 was drilled , which went into operation 1899th In 1901 a new cable car mine was sunk in the Kronprinz field , which went into operation in 1903.
In the 1920s, the Rosenblumendelle 1/2 pit was expanded into a central pit. The shafts received new conveyor systems. Shaft 1 was equipped from 1921 with a winding tower in solid construction, which was similar in appearance to the design of the so-called Malakow tower . Shaft 2 was equipped in 1928 with a two-storey headframe in a steel framework construction.
At the same time, the Mülheim Mining Association rationalized the production process. The mining at the Humboldt colliery and the United Hagenbeck colliery was discontinued from 1928 to 1929 after underground connections had been established and combined with Rosenblumendelle 1/2. The systems were operated as external shafts for cable travel and weather control; A storage area for land sales (i.e. retail sales to small businesses and households) was set up on the Humboldt site .
Some of the workforce at the Wiesche colliery switched to the Rosenblumendelle colliery after mining there was discontinued in 1952. In 1954, the largest briquette factory in Europe was put into operation on the site of the Rosenblumendelle colliery. In 1954, Rosenblumendelle mined 1,334,939 tons of hard coal with a total of 5,264 employees. It comprised the Rosenblumendelle 1/2, Wiesche 1/2, Hagenbeck 2/3, Kronprinz and Humboldt pits.
In 1966 the last mine in Mülheim an der Ruhr was shut down with Rosenblumendelle. The headframe above shaft 1 and the headframe of shaft 2 were demolished in 1968.
