The Sieper & Mühler Gruben colliery is a former hard coal mine in Sprockhövel -Herzkamp-Schee. The colliery was also known under the names Zeche Sieper & Mühler , Zeche Sieper & Müller and Zeche Sieper & Mühlen .

Pit field and geology

The pit field of the Sieper & Mühler Gruben colliery was in the Herzkämper Mulde . This trough is the southernmost of all the main troughs of the Ruhr mining industry. The hollow stands out to the southwest. It is located in the Witten and Sprockhövel layers. The hollow is divided into the south wing and the north wing. The seams here are the main seam and the dirt bank seam. The main seam is a buildable seam with no mining components , it has a low sulfur content . However, the coal supply in the Herzkämper Mulde was relatively low. In addition to the two coal seams, there was also a part of coal iron stone in the Herzkämper Mulde .

history

The beginnings

In 1650, a coal bank was loaned to Johann Fliesloh and his son Peter Fliesloh. This coal bank was in the upper part of the Felderbach. In 1655 Hermann was also enfeoffed in small Siepen. The mine had been in operation since 1700. The first trades were Johann Siepermann and Engel auf der Mühle. First of all, in the first few years there were disputes between the families of the trades. These disputes were settled in 1709 with a contract between the trades Kaspar zur Untersten Mühlen, Peter zur Obersten Mühlen and Johann Heinrich auf dem Großer Siepen. The contract regulates the sharing of the hereditary tunnels and the sharing of costs and profits. In 1737, the mines that belonged to the Sieper and Mühler families were among the largest mines in the Brandenburg mountain area . In the course of the 18th century there were frequent conflicts between the mine operators and the supervisory authority.

In 1737 there were still disputes between the trades of the Sieper & Mühler colliery, Engel auf der Mühle and Johann Siepermann, as well as the Scherenberg heirs of the Stock & Scherenberg colliery, with the responsible mining authorities . This dispute concerned the law in force since 1694, which granted special rights to the deeper tunnel . According to the protocols of the responsible miner August Heinrich Decker, the trades even enforced this old “right” with physical violence. The main ringleaders in the dispute were the trades of the Stock & Scherenberg colliery. The dispute escalated and ended on July 14, 1737 with a court ruling by the Directum in Berlin, which repealed the old law and fined future violent riots with a fine of 100 gold guilders. In 1745 the mine ownership was divided exactly between the families of the trades. The Siepermann family received half and the families of Kaspar zur Untersten Mühlen and Peter zur Obersten Mühlen each received a quarter. Around the year 1770 the mine was, according to the miner Philipp Heintzmann, the most imposing mine in the county of Mark. At that time the union already had 43 trades. Due to inheritance in real terms , the Kuxen property was split up over the following years. In 1792, the mountain judge Sack set the division of the Kuxe of the Sieper and Mühler pits to the part of 88/189 Kuxe as the outermost limit.

The further expansion of the mine

In 1822 the number of trades in the mine had risen to 218 trades. At that time, a mine in the entire Bochum mining district had an average of 20 trades. In 1824 the previously independently managed mines were grouped under the name Sieper & Mühler Gruben. In addition, were mine fields of mines Hütter Bank , Mühlerbank, High Bank, Supreme Bank and the heart Kämper Erbstollen the Berechtsame slammed shut. The pit pitch was the Kreßsieper Erbstollen and the underlying heart Kaemper Erbstollen dissolved . In the same year, a horse peg was put into operation at Lichtloch 13 . The light hole reached down to the Hohebank seam. It was started to align and prepare the pit field . The dismantling started in 1825 . On May 8th, 1827, four miners died in the Herzkämper Erbstollen due to dull weather . The drive was then immediately deferred . In the same year work began on sinking the Hope Community Pit . The shaft was to be used jointly with the Buschbank colliery . The Carl shaft was sunk around 1830 . The bay was a broken shaft initially to a seigere Teufe been geteuft of 26 meters and was followed by a further 20 meters geteuft tonnlägig. The shaft received a weather furnace for better ventilation of the mine workings .

In 1830, the Carl, Cora, Lina and Maria Göpel shafts were in operation. In 1832 the Herzkämper Erbstollen was driven further south. On October 31 of the same year the site of the Erbstollen was 60 Lachter south of Schacht Carl. In 1836 the Ida shaft was sunk. The shaft had a depth of about 65 meters and was sunk deeper. In 1839 the construction of a state road was approved. The coal road from Sprockhövel to Herzkamp was to be rebuilt. The route over the old coal route was determined. This led to considerable difficulties with the trades of the Sieper and Mühler, Glückauf, Stock and Scherenberg, Concordia, Schelle and Haberbank and Frosch collieries. The trades wanted a route that was provided with less steep gradients and better connected their mines to the road. At the end of 1839 the drive of the Herzkämper Erbstollen was already 178 Lachter south of Schacht Carl. In 1840 the Ida, Louise and Friedrich shafts were in operation, and the Friedrich shaft was equipped with a horse peg. In 1845 only Friedrich shaft was in operation. At that time the Sieper & Mühler Gruben colliery was still one of the most efficient mines in the region.

The other years

In 1846 the driveway in the Herzkämper Erbstollen had penetrated to the Striepen seam and was located 16 pools south of the Oberstebank mine field. Thereafter, only a minor drive took place in the tunnel. The tunnel reached a total length of 3.8 kilometers. A horse peg was installed at the Heinrich shaft, this cap had been moved here from the Friedrich shaft. In 1847 the Heinrich shaft went into operation with the horse peg down to the Hütterbank seam. Towards the end of the 1840s, some ironstone seams were passed. For a short time afterwards , iron stone was mined in addition to hard coal . In 1850, a new shaft began to be sunk. The starting point of the manhole was in the village of Schee, the turf hanging bank of the new manhole was at a height of + 267 m above sea ​​level . In 1852 this shaft was named Hövel and put into operation. The shaft was given a steam cap with an output of ten hp as a hoisting machine . In the following year, the sole was attached and the breakthrough took place with the sole of the Herzkämper Erbstollen.

As of 1855, the mine was through the heart Kämper Erbstollen solved . On the mine two were Fettkohlenflöze in Verhieb , the thickness of the seams was 36-61 inches . At that time the mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the Schlebusch jury area . In 1859 the mining continued above the bottom of the Herzkämper Erbstollen. A deeper solution was expected at the mine through the dirt bank Erbstollen. In 1861 the eastern basic route reached a length of 665 1/3 Lachtern . The track was 36 inches deep seam Hütter Bank ascended Service. The dismantling had to be a degradation process of Stoßbau and stoping proven and a combination of both methods. At that time the mine was part of the Sprockhövel mining area. In 1860 the number of trades at the Sieper & Mühler Gruben colliery rose to 347. At that time, a mine in the entire Bochum mining district had an average of 51 trades.

The last few years

In 1862, the Hövel shaft began to be pumped from the bottom of the Herzkämper Erbstollen. In the same year, work began on clearing the pit field with the Dreckbänker Erbstollen . This solution enabled a depth gain of 175 meters. In 1865 was in the seam of a bank Supreme up to a depth of 38 1/3 Lach Tern deep drawn cutting off a cross passage set. The cross passage should be driven to the main solution cross passage of the Dreckbänker Erbstollen. In addition, the cross passage was to be driven in a northerly direction in order to loosen the existing mines. After the cross passage had already been driven eight pools to the south and almost five pools in the north, the cross passage had to be stopped due to strong water inflows. In 1866 the breakthrough took place with the Dreckbänker Erbstollen, the pit water was now drained off via the Dreckbänker Erbstollen. In 1867 there was a firedamp explosion in a facility area in the mine, in which two miners were slightly injured. On January 5 of 1870 occurred at the mine re Schlagwetterexplosion, in this mining accident four miners were killed. In the same year, the weather shaft was sunk deeper to the Herzkämper Erbstollen. On April 13, 1875, another firedamp explosion occurred at the mine, killing two miners. In 1876 the Hövel shaft was sunk to a depth of 175 meters (+ 92 m NN) down to the Dreckbänker Erbstollen. In the following years the deposits continued to decline. In 1889, consolidated the bill Sieper & Mühler mines with the coal mine Glückauf to mine heart Kämper trough .

Promotion and workforce

The first known production and workforce figures for the mine date back to 1737, when ten miners were employed at the mine who produced around 1000 tons of hard coal. In 1782, 68 miners were employed at the mine. In 1830, 7525 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1835 the production was 8,516 tons of hard coal. In 1840 5087 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1845, 42 miners extracted 4,376 tons of hard coal. In 1850 5000 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1855, 96 miners extracted 47,714 tons of coal from Prussia . In 1867, 61 miners extracted 3605 tons of hard coal. In 1870, 7903 tons of hard coal were mined, this was done by 78 miners. The maximum production was achieved in 1874, 13,367 tons of hard coal were produced, this production was provided by 86 miners. In 1875, around 10,000 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1876, 85 miners extracted 8,168 tons of hard coal. In 1880, 60 miners extracted 6,583 tons of hard coal. In 1885 9,723 tons of hard coal were mined; this was done by 89 miners. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1888, in that year 61 miners were still employed at the mine who produced 9281 tonnes of hard coal.

Current condition

Little remains of the former Sieper & Mühler Gruben colliery. To the shaft Carl reminded still a small mining heap . The Carl shaft dump is part of the Herzkämper-Mulde-Weg of the AK Sprockhövel.
