The Steinbergerbank colliery in the Stockum district of Witten is a former hard coal mine . The colliery was also known under the names of Zeche Steinberg , Zeche Steinbergerbank am Steinberge and Zeche Alte & Neue Steinbergerbank . Since the mine formed a joint operation with the Wallfisch colliery, the mine was also called the Steinbergerbank colliery modo Wallfischbänke or also the United Wallfisch & Steinbergerbank colliery . The mine was located in the area of Steinäckerweg and Walfischstraße.

history

The beginnings

In 1744 the farmers Wilhelm and Dietrich Höving drove a tunnel in the Steinbergerbank seam. On June 22nd, 1752, the mining rights were granted . The mine went into operation from 1754. On April 10 of the same year, the mine field was extended by 380 meters. In the year 1770, the old tunnel was now silted up. For this reason, a new tunnel was cut across the valley from the south. This tunnel was built 7.85 meters deeper and reached the seam after about 300 meters . On August 13, 1772, the Längenfeld Steinberger Bank No. 2 and Steinberger Bank No. 3 were awarded. In addition, the union was allowed to claim the seams that were between its mine field and the mine field of the Stephanie colliery. From 1782 Stephan Casper Schievelbusch took over the management of the mine. Schievelbusch was the main trade union at that time . On June 18 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Steinbergerbank colliery was one of 63 mines that vom Stein used on his journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. Vom Stein gave information about the further condition of the mine in his protocol. In particular, he complained about the poor condition of the conveyor system for the barrel-length shaft . For gross violation of the mountain regulations , he punished the shift supervisor with a fine of three shift wages and the responsible top climber with a fine of eight good groschen .

The further operation

From the middle of 1784, Bergdirektor vom Stein had the mine visited regularly by the Wünnenberg mountain jury and the mountain cadet Friedrich. The mine had significant problems with draining the pit water . There were also problems with the shaft extraction . The shaft had a depth of 50 meters and the full drum could no longer be lifted by the reel workers due to its weight. Since the mine in steep storage mined , there were big problems here. As a result, one only worked in the top three locations. The mountain cadet Friedrich wanted to change this situation at the beginning of the year after consulting von Stein, but the main trade in Schievelbusch opposed these instructions. Since Schievelbusch refused to obey the orders of the mountain cadet, von Stein punished him with a fine of five thalers. On December 30 of 1790 took place a mountain official demarcation of Berechtsame against the seven planets Erbstolln mine . In 1791 the mine was measured by the Markscheider Niemeyer and then entered on the Niemeyer map . The tunnel was now ascended to a length of 1020 meters, as well as ten wells were down to the studs sole drilled Service.

In 1796 the Wilhelm shaft and shaft No. 9 in operation. In 1800 the Lobegott shaft and two test shafts were in operation. In 1801 the consolidation with the Stephanie banks took place. The coal supply of the new mine was estimated at around 65,000 tons. In 1805 the three shafts Friedrich, Henderich and Wegeschacht were in operation. The Feldschacht shaft was in operation in 1810. In 1815 there was little activity at the Gottfried shaft. In 1821 the four shafts Georg, Gottfried, Peter and Steffen were in operation. This year, 1270 tons of hard coal were mined. At that time, the mine was, in the opinion of the Oberbergamtsmarkscheider Engelhardt, an important mine for the Brandenburg mining industry. In 1825 the Carl, Christoph and Georg pits were in operation. On July 5, 1826, the tunnel was granted the right to the tunnel . In 1830, 27 miners were employed at the mine. That year the Carl shaft and the Eduard shaft were in operation. The extraction capacity of both shafts was 10,800 Prussian tons per year. In 1832 the mine was initially still in operation. In August of the same year, the Steinbergerbank colliery below the bottom of the tunnel was consolidated with further mines to form the United Wallfisch colliery . Nevertheless, until 1838 the mine was called the Steinbergerbank colliery modo Wallfischbänke.
