The Schwarzer Rabe colliery in Hattingen - Bredenscheid is a former hard coal mine . The colliery was also known under the names Zeche Schwartze Rabe , Zeche Schwarze Rabe , or Zeche Rabe .
Mining history
The mine was already in operation in 1737, it was not until the following year on December 20th that it was given a loan. In 1739 the mine was closed. There is evidence that the mine was in operation between 1754 and 1762. At that time a miner was employed in the mine. Since there was a decline in coal sales in 1769, the mine was closed again. In the 19th century, the mine field was awarded again under the name United Kuhlenbergsbänke colliery .
United Kuhlenberg Banks
The United Kuhlenbergsbänke colliery in Hattingen-Bredenscheid-Stüter was already in operation in the 18th century under the name of the Schwarzer Rabe colliery. On February 27, 1816, the two Längenfelder Schwarzer Rabe and Vereinigte Kuhlenbergsbänke were awarded. The two length fields then consolidated under the name of the United Kuhlenbergsbänke colliery. In 1820 was Schacht Theodor geteuft . The dismantling began in May of the same year . There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1825. The mine was shut down from June 1828; there is no information about the duration of the shutdown. In 1842 the mine was still mentioned in the documents, but there is no information about any mining activities. The mine was later reopened under the name Zeche Rabe.
Crow
The Rabe colliery in Hattingen-Bredenscheid was known and operated under the name of the Schwarzer Rabe colliery in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1873 the authorized mine of the United Kuhlenbergbanks was put back into operation. In the year 1874 mining was carried out first, in the course of the year the mine was closed in time limits . Around the year 1876 the mine was in operation for a short time, after which it was shut down again. In 1888 the mine was put back into operation. A tunnel was put into operation on each of the two wings of the mine field . In addition, a new, deeper tunnel was excavated near the Bredenscheid train station . In 1892 a ton-long shaft was sunk . The shaft was named Schacht Rabe, the starting point of the shaft was near the Bredenscheid train station. The shaft had a shallow depth of 164 meters (85 meters seiger ). In the same year one was at a shallow depth of 105 meters sole recognized. In addition, work began on sinking two weather shafts . The Berechtsame included at this time a length field. The construction site had the dimensions 2800 stroke and 700 meters cross-cut. In the middle of the year 1893 the operation was stopped for a short time due to payment difficulties. In the same year both weather shafts were abandoned. In 1896, the tonnage Rabe shaft reached a shallow depth of 350 meters, which corresponded to a deeper depth of 180 meters. The shaft was now at its deepest point below the bottom of the tunnel. Nevertheless, the mine was still operated as a tunnel mine. There was also a barrel-length weather shaft. This year began to dig deeper places. In 1897 there was no mining activity whatsoever . Coal was mined, but it came from the fixture factories . At the same time it was merged with the Hopesthal colliery, but both mines continued to operate independently. At that time the mine belonged to the Hattingen mining area . In 1900, the Prince William field in the area of the land level was the bill Rabe solved . In 1902, the bill Raven with the mines was Odin and Hoffnungsthal merged and renamed in Westphalian coal mine coal mines.
Promotion and workforce
The first known production and workforce figures for the Rabe colliery date from 1888, when four miners produced 174 tons of hard coal . In 1890, 47 miners produced 7,812 tons of hard coal. In 1895, 83 miners produced 21,097 tons of hard coal. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1900, when 118 miners produced 32,887 tons of hard coal. This last funding was also the maximum funding of the Rabe mine.
