The St. Peter colliery in Wetter-Schlebusch is a former hard coal mine . The mine was also known as the Zeche St. Peter am Schlebusch . According to the Niemeyer map , the mine was located near Gut Steinhausen. It is the oldest documented mine in the Schlebusch district.

history

The beginnings

On January 20, 1645, a coupon for a mine field was submitted. The mine was then put into operation. On April 22nd, 1649, a length field was enfeoffed . After the loan, the mine was in operation for almost 100 years with a few interruptions. On April 5, 1652, the loan was confirmed. From 1700 the mine in the area of ​​today's Schlebuscher Straße and Kalte Welt was in operation. The mine was measured on August 3, 1739 . The mine worked in the same seam as the St. Paul colliery , but in a different wing. In 1754 the Steinhaus and Dröghorn heirs' association were registered as trades of the mine. According to the files of the weather office, the shift supervisor was Peter Siepmann. He worked underground and was not experienced in writing. In the years 1758 and 1759 the top and bottom shafts were in operation. In 1766 the mine was officially measured . In 1773 the mine was mining authorities traveled . On June 30, 1784, the mine was opened by the head of the Brandenburg Mining Authority District, Freiherr vom Stein . The St. Peter colliery was one of 63 mines that vom Stein used on his journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. At this point in time there was a shaft with a depth of 40 holes . Vom Stein gave information about the condition of the mine in his protocol. In particular, he noted in his minutes the difficulties the mine had to contend with. The hanging wall was partly very bad and crushed the room .

Further expansion and operation

In 1787 a joint tunnel was operated with the neighboring St. Paul mine . This tunnel was completely excavated in solid stone and ran directly under Gut Steinhausen. That year the St. Peter colliery was listed on the Niemeyer's map . In 1788, starting from the Trappe colliery , a cross passage to the St. Peter colliery was established. Through this crosscut, the mine reached a depth of 16 holes compared to its own tunnel. In 1796, shafts 1 and 4 were mined. In 1800, the Neuer Steinhaus and Hinderkotte shafts (shaft 1) were dismantled. In 1801, a joint venture with the St. Paul colliery was founded under the name Vereinigte St. Peter & St. Pauls Schacht . The purpose of this joint venture was to sink the union shaft . In the same year the sinking work began and in 1803 the union shaft was put into operation. The shaft had a depth of 33 3/8 holes and was equipped with a cap . In 1805 the bay New stone house and the Association of Bay in were promoting . In 1807 a firedamp explosion occurred at the St. Peter colliery .

In 1810 the Abendstern and Behrenbruch shafts and the union shaft were in operation. At that time, the Abendstern shaft was equipped with a cap. In 1815 the Abendstern and Hope pits were in operation. In 1820 the Carl and Hope pits were in operation. In 1824, the sinking of the shallow Constanz Shaft began. Since this shaft was originally a light hole of the Schlebuscher Erbstollen , the trades of the St. Peter colliery had to pay a usage fee to the trades of the Schlebuscher Erbstollen. In 1825 the Carl and Hope pits were in operation. In the following year, the Constanz shaft was put into operation. The shaft was equipped with a horse peg. In 1827 the mine field of the mine was loosened by the Schlebuscher Erbstollen , thus a deeper solution could be achieved. The ventilation of the mines had become now so bad that constantly gassy formed. In the same year, safety lights were introduced at the mine , making the St. Peter mine the first to use safety lights. In order to improve the ventilation, further measures were introduced at the mine. The number of overcuts was reduced and more connections to higher mine structures were created. Further measures were the spraying of water and the introduction of acidic vapors. However, these measures had little effect.

In 1828 the Constanz shaft reached as far as the bottom of the Schlebuscher Erbstollen. The bottom was at a depth of 145 meters. In 1830 the Carl, Constanz and Hope shafts and the Union shaft were in operation. In the following year, the mine was connected to the hammer mills and workshops in the Ennepetal via the Schlebusch-Harkorter coal railway . In 1833 the Constanz shaft was equipped with a steam hoisting machine . The Carl and Constanz pits were in operation from 1835 to 1840. In 1839 there was no more alignment work on the mine . There was an auxiliary location to weather connection of the upper and lower sole flowers Dahler aligned . This sole was in the standing Flözlagerung eleven Lachter above 3 out of place About this mine workings should connect to the pit hope to create. In November 1843, the Constanz mine was also used by the St. Paul mine for a fee of 1/15 of the production. From this point on, the mine was also called the St. Peter & St. Paul mine . In 1845 only the Constanz shaft was in operation. From 1847, sales at the St. Peter colliery fell significantly, the reason for this being that the mine was in competition with the Trappe colliery. In the period from 1830 to 1847, the mine made a profit of 60,000 Reichstalers. The reason for this yield was the seam that was in mining at the time, which yielded good lump coal with a thickness of 0.85 meters .

The last few years

On December 9th, 1850, the quarter field St. Peter Nebenflöz was awarded . This year, the Constanz shaft was still in operation. In 1855 the mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Schlebusch. The St. Peter seam was mined, this seam was 33 inches thick . In the following years a contract was signed with the Freier Vogel mine. On the basis of this contract, the mining field of Freier Vogel was to be dissolved by St. Peter and the coal mining should be taken over by Freier Vogel. In 1857 this contract was implemented. This year the mine field of the Freier Vogel colliery was closed . In the same year, the sponsorship of the Freier Vogel mine was taken over. Since the St. Paul colliery had been closed within a time limit , no more coal from the St. Paul colliery was mined at the Constanz mine from this year. In 1865 the mine was dissolved by the Dreckbänker Erbstollen. In 1874 the St. Peter colliery built in the field of the St. Paul colliery on the basis of a contract with the St. Paul colliery. Due to the lack of sales, the mine ran into more and more difficulties from 1875. There was also the very strong competition from the United Trappe colliery . Ultimately, this meant that more and more operations were stopped. In 1875 the Carl and Heinrich pits were in operation. In October of the same year, the St. Paul field was closed and mining ended there. On December 18, 1883, the St. Peter colliery was shut down. In 1885 the mine was put back into operation and finally closed in 1888. In 1893 the right was taken over by the United Trappe colliery. The mine field of the former St. Paul colliery was commissioned by the United Trappe colliery for a few years on a small scale. In 1899 the mine field was completely acquired by the United Trappe colliery.

Promotion and workforce

Lots of forged coal was extracted from the mine. The first workforce at the mine dates back to 1754, when ten miners were employed in the mine. The first known production figures for the mine come from 1830, when 90,575 bushels of hard coal were produced . In 1833 33 people were employed at the mine. In 1835, 59,487 bushels of hard coal were mined. In 1840 14,429 ¼ Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1845 between 24 and 32 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 79,320 bushels of hard coal. In 1847, 20 to 25 miners extracted 70,920 bushels of hard coal. In 1855, 36 employees mined 24,527 ½ tons of hard coal from Prussia. In 1866, with 30 employees, 5700 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1870, 38 employees mined 6,438 tons of hard coal. The last workforce at the mine dates back to 1880; 31 people were employed at the mine, producing 5043 tons of hard coal. In 1885, 4,386 tons of hard coal were mined. The last production figures of the mine come from the year 1887, 3807 tons of hard coal were produced.
