history
In 1871 the mining law union of the Scharnhorst coal mine , named after the Prussian general and army reformer Gerhard von Scharnhorst , was founded. In 1872 work began on sinking the first shaft . However, the work had to be stopped two years later due to severe water ingress.
After the mine together with the adjacent mines in 1891 Gneisenau Colliery and mine Prussia from the Harpen Mining AG was taken over, you put the Abteufarbeiten continued 1897/1898. Production finally began in August 1901. In 1908 the colliery reached its maximum output of 517,200 tons with around 1,820 employees. A coking plant was operated from 1902 to 1927.
After 1930 an underground connection to the third floor to Gneisenau Colliery had been prepared, which provided Scharnhorst colliery on 1 February 1931, the promotion of one. However , it remained in operation until July 31, 1975 for cable travel , ventilation and material transport .
present
On the former colliery site there is now a (not yet fully developed) industrial area, located on the street Scharnhorst colliery
Almost nothing is left of the representative, symmetrically laid out and uniformly designed mine, the only sparse relic is a colliery wall that has now been restored . In the area, however, the associated colliery settlements are still partially preserved. The pulley of a Tomson trestles built headframes graces today as a symbol of the coat of arms of the district Scharnhorst.
The colliery is registered as a ground monument in the monument list of the city of Dortmund .
