history
The beginnings
In the middle of the 18th century, Rudolph Spennemann and consorts from Sprockhövel suggested a mining field . The mother wanted a field the size of a treasure trove and six measures . On February 7, 1751, the two Längenfelds Rummelskirchen and Rummelskirchen Nebenbank were awarded . The two length fields were awarded to separate unions . While the trades Spennemann and consorts had been enfeoffed with the actual coal bank, only Spennemann was enfeoffed with the side bank in the crossing . There was no dismantling in the Rummelskirchen Nebenbank field . After the award ceremony, operations began in the Rummelskirchen field. The mine was surveyed in 1754 . On February 15 of 1771 were as trades Rudolph Spennemann and Henrich Jürgen Herber Holtz in the documents of the mining authority entered. The trades had a different number of kuxes . The legal fees had been paid regularly up to this point.
The other years
In 1775 the mine was called Zeche Rammelskirchen. Before 1796, the mine was out of service for several years. In the period from 1825 to 1829, a joint venture with the Charlotte mine was founded under the name Rummelskirchen & Charlotte. Purpose of the joint business was the excavation of a common tunnel in Kamperbachtal. In 1827 the Hope Shaft was sunk . From March 1838 the mine was closed in time limits . In 1872 the mine was put back into operation through the Laurentius Erbstollen . The promotion of the mined coal was carried out by the sough. After 1880 the area above the bottom of the Erbstollen was dismantled and the mine was closed. In the following year the mine was leased from the Blankenburg colliery, but the Rummelskirchen colliery remained independent. In 1883 the mine was put back into operation. The field was opened up from the Saufberg field via the 104-meter level of the Blankenburg colliery. The promotion took place over a shaft of the coal mine Blankenburg. Civil engineering was finished in 1892 . It has now been mined again above the bottom of the Laurentius Erbstollen. The mined coal was extracted via the tunnel. In 1894 the Rummelskirchen colliery was finally shut down. In 1896 the mine was completely taken over by the Blankenburg colliery. After the takeover by Blankenburg, the mine field was opened up again.
Promotion and workforce
The first production figures of the mine come from the year 1830, in that year 283 tons of hard coal were produced . In 1835 712 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1838 180 ⅜ Prussian tons of hard coal were extracted. The first workforce dates from 1872, there were nine miners working on the mine who produced 255 tons of hard coal. In 1875, 3200 tons of hard coal were mined with 22 employees. In 1880 4258 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1883, five miners extracted 135 tons of hard coal. In 1885 the production was 4057 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 16 employees. In 1890, 28 employees mined 9272 tonnes of hard coal. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1892. With 35 employees, 15,086 tons of hard coal were mined. The last production figures are from 1894, in that year 1214 tons of hard coal were produced.
