history

The beginnings

In 1762 the Prussian Mining Authority in Bochum discovered that coal was being mined in its area without authorization . The unauthorized, thus wild mining, was carried out on the property of the noble House of Horst. The property was owned by the Baron von Elverfeldt, the man who carried out the unauthorized mining was Heinrich Krampe. Krampe built in the seam , which was within the property boundaries of the house Horst, and won so daily up to two tons of coal . The mining authority prohibited Krampe from all other mining activities. However, Krampe did not adhere to the order of the mining authority, but continued with the work. He drove a field drift in an easterly direction and then sank another shaft . Due to the behavior of Krampe, there was a legal dispute between the state and the Baron von Elverfeldt. The litigation was conducted for violating shelf law and lasted for several years. The background to this legal dispute was the property owner's view that coal did not fall under the mountain shelf and would therefore belong to the property owner. In 1772 the mine went into operation as a fiscal colliery. In the years 1772 to 1781 coal deliveries were made from the mine to Kleve , and the coal was transported across the Ruhr and Rhine . In 1780 tunnel construction took place in Möll-Siepen . Before the year 1784, a new tunnel was started on Dahlberger Berg. The tunnel was excavated from the Ruhr valley . From this point on, the first tunnel was called the upper tunnel.

The further operation

In 1784 the mine was operated by the head of the Brandenburg mining authority district, Freiherr vom Stein . At this point in time, the tunnel was already 126 laughs long . A seam with a thickness of 35 inches was mined . During the drive, von Stein discovered the tunnel that Krampe had excavated. The tunnel was six meters higher than the new tunnel. Vom Stein also found that coal had already been mined in the old tunnel. Parts of the mine field had already been dismantled through a shaft . Vom Stein gave information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance and payment of the miners employed there . He criticized the poor condition of the journeys and instructed the responsible shift supervisor to have the journeys changed as much as possible and necessary.

A length field was awarded in 1788 , and the field was pitted in the same year . In 1796, mining was carried out in the area of ​​the Johannes shaft (shaft 5). In 1800 shafts 4 and 5 were in operation. From November of the following year, the mine was closed in time limits , the reason for the measure was a lack of sales. From May 1806 the mine was put back into operation. The tunnel was cleared and the mine field was further aligned . In the years that followed, the mine continued to operate. In 1820, a sliding path was laid from the Stollenmundloch to the coal defeat on the Ruhr. The tunnel mouth hole was on the border of the two communities Horst and Dahlhausen, the sliding path was about 100 laughs.

The last few years

The mine was in operation in 1830; it had an annual production capacity of 8,300 Prussian tons . On October 6 of the following year, a square with the name Black Boy No. II was awarded. In 1836, 11,983 ⅛ Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. At the end of April 1837, the Schwarze Junge colliery was closed. On August 18, 1853, a small square with the name Black Boy was awarded. In 1893 the rightful owner of the United Maria Anna Steinbank colliery was added. After this mine was shut down in 1905, the entitled parties were separated again. In 1919 the mine field was leased and put back into operation by the Robert colliery . The following year, the Schwarze Junge colliery was acquired by the Robert colliery. On September 23, 1937, the Schwarze Junge colliery was purchased by the Essener Steinkohlenbergwerke AG. Today a small path "Am Schwarzen Jungs" still reminds of the colliery, it lies parallel to Varenholzstrasse between Im Stapel and Sudholzstrasse.
