The Sandbank colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Überruhr- Holthausen. The mine was initially in operation as a tunnel mine , later civil engineering was used . The Sandbank colliery was one of the founding members of the Association for Mining Interests.

history

The mine was already in operation as a tunnel mine in 1803. The tunnel mouth hole was located on today's Langenbergerstraße, about 50 meters south of the Rote Mühle . In 1809 the mine was out of service again. In 1813 the mine was back in operation, after which the mine was not mentioned in the documents for several years. In 1831 the mine was put back into operation. In July 1834 the mine was closed again. On February 18, 1837, a length field south of the Heinrich colliery was awarded . In 1855, the sinking work began for a shaft that took several tons . The shaft should be used as a machine and conveyor shaft. He was south of Holt Huser valley set and served the transition to civil engineering. In addition, the preparatory work for the installation of a 120 HP high-pressure machine was started this year . The rights holders included a length field for mining in Seam Sonnenschein. At that time the mine was part of the Essen Mining Authority. In 1856, a combined delivery and was dewatering machine with steam drive installed. The machine was equipped with five boilers and had an output of 128 hp . In the same year, the shaft reached the bottom of the conveyor tunnel at a depth of 22 puddles . The conveyor tunnel was further excavated this year by 73 lights .

In 1857 the shaft reached a shallow depth of 126 meters. This year the shaft had cut through the sandbank seam. The seam was 88 inches thick , of which 24 inches were intermediate means . The devil work continued. This year, the mine received permission to build a coal storage facility on the Ruhr . In 1858 the bottom was operated at a shallow depth of 147 meters. The promotion took place in the shaft to the tunnel floor. From there the coal was conveyed to the Prinz Wilhelm Railway . Further transport was no longer carried out for days by ship across the Ruhr, but by rail. In 1859, the 2nd level was set at a shallow depth and the 3rd level at a shallow depth of 319 meters. Alignment of the field began in the same year . The coal extracted was transported to customers on the Prince Wilhelm Railway. In addition, there was a coal deficit on the Ruhr. In 1860, Erbstolln was mined below the Himmelsfürster . However, only half of the pillars were dismantled. In 1863, the sole site was further excavated on the first building base. During the excavation of a five was Lachter strong rejection approached. At that time, the mine was part of the Altendorf mining area . In 1867, the shaft was sunk 43 holes deeper. This year there were strong water inflows from the United Henriette field . In 1868 the shaft reached a shallow depth of 465 meters. In the following year there were significant operational disruptions due to machine damage. In 1874 only residual mining took place, two years later the Sandbank colliery was closed. In 1880 the rightful owner of the Steingatt colliery was added. In 1891 the Sandbank colliery was consolidated into the Steingatt colliery.

Promotion and workforce

The first production figures come from the year 1832, 12,937 ½ bushels of hard coal were produced . In 1840 the production was 225 Prussian tons of hard coal. The first workforce dates from 1858, 70 miners were employed in the mine. With this workforce, 148,592 bushels of hard coal were extracted. In 1860, 423,327 bushels of hard coal were extracted. In 1861 the workforce was 108, the production was 135,767 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1863, 116 employees produced 152,404 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1867, 24,240 tons of hard coal were mined, the workforce was 91 employees. In 1870, 82 employees produced 10,477 tonnes of hard coal. In 1875 the workforce was 31, the production was 8,673 tons of hard coal. The last figures are from 1876, in that year 1804 tons of hard coal were mined.
