The St. Moritz colliery was located on the western outskirts of Wellinghofen , its first shaft was in today's triangle of streets "Silberhecke", "Priesterwiese" and "Blenkerweg".
The mine field of the same name was awarded in February 1760 , and regular operation is guaranteed for 1771.
Between 1802 and 1802 the colliery was idle (with interruptions) because the water inflows could not be released . To remedy this, we teamed up with the in Hacheney nearby colliery Christine together to share a deeper Erbstollen be recognized named Christine.
Between 1812 and 1827, mining in the St. Moritz field ceased completely. Only then did the tunnel reach its minefield and guarantee the longed-for drainage . In the following years the three shafts Wilhelmine , Emma and Rosen came to a depth . These measures secured the production for a further 20 years, it was not until 1847 that the Sankt Moritz colliery was finally shut down. The now unused mine field later fell to Crone colliery .
