The Stöckerdreckbank colliery was a mine in Sprockhövel - Gennebreck am Deilbach on the border with Wuppertal - Dönberg . It was the southernmost colliery of the Ruhr mining industry on the edge of the mining area.

Mining history

The prospect for the field took place in 1714, giving the name to the nearby Stöcken farm and the Dreckbank seam . Operations were stopped again in 1768. Operation was resumed in 1805 and several new shafts were sunk . The mining took place up to the bottom of the Christsieper and later the Dreckbänker Erbstollen , which reached its greatest length of 13 kilometers here. It was reinstated in 1839 but resumed briefly between 1865 and 1869. From 1912 to 1924 there was another inclusion as part of the United Stöckerdreckbank colliery .

What is left

Apart from a pinge , which could also be traced back to a light hole in the Dreckbänker Erbstollen, no traces of above-ground traces have survived from the mining desert in the forest on the Deilbach .
