The Schwarze Adler colliery was one of the many small mines in the coal area around what is now the municipality of Holzwickede . Their systems were located in the Hixterwald on today's city limits to the Dortmund district of Sölde for over a hundred years .
Beginnings
Mining was already practiced in the Hixterwald in the 16th century, but without drainage it could only exist in simple excavations . In 1711, the tradesmen Caspar Friedrich Freiherr von Hövel were granted the general loan on all seams in Sölder Holz. After the enfeoffment, a tunnel for draining the mine field was set up and driven to the Selbach .
In 1736 the Schwarze Adler colliery was the largest colliery in the county of Mark . The main customer was the Königsborn saltworks near Unna. In 1797 the mine was shut down for a long time. Presumably the coal was mined to the new groundwater limit.
New beginning in the 19th century
In 1830, the Caroliner Erbstollen of the Caroline colliery ensured that the old colliery was mined considerably more deeply. The Geismar and Aurora shafts were sunk . Schacht Gumprecht followed in 1835. It was located in the Hixterwald directly opposite today's Landskroner Strasse. The chess master on Gumprecht, Gottfried Köhling, was also responsible for selling coal. In 1845 the production was stopped, the colliery closed and the shafts filled .
In 1902 the mine field was consolidated into the new United Margarethe colliery in Sölde .
Search for clues
The street "Im Schwarzen Adler" in Holzwickede was named after the colliery.
Two stations on the historic Holzwickede mining trail are dedicated to the mine: Station 7 (Landskroner Strasse 161) is reminiscent of the Gumprecht shaft. Station 8 (Hixterwald southern forest path) is generally reminiscent of the "Schwarze Adler" colliery, station 11 (Im Schwarzen Adler) shows a boundary stone of the "Neue Schwartze Adler colliery".
