The bill Steingatt was a coal - mine in Essen - Burgaltendorf .
history
The Steingatt mine was first mentioned in a document in 1702. From this point in time, a Steingatt tunnel was started west of Burgaltendorf , which over the years was driven over 2200 m westwards towards Byfang .
After the tunnel construction had been profitable for several decades, a contract was signed with the Prince Wilhelm mine to the west from 1830 . This tunnel mine built its own railway connection from its mining operations down to the Ruhr in order to get a connection to the Ruhr shipping . The Steingatt colliery has now signed a contract with Prince Wilhelm to extend this Prinz-Wilhelm-Bahn and to share the use of the Ruhr pier.
Both companies intended to transition to civil engineering in the subsequent period . In 1852 the two mines were consolidated under the name of the Steingatt union . It was on Steingatt the bay Laura drilled (between Burgaltendorf and Byfang, today Laura Street ), as well as Prince William of shaft Carl . Both shafts were sunk through the floors of the respective main tunnels. They were however already mechanized expansion provided and decreed for Personenfahrung on driving skills .
For further expansion, the entire mine field was extended to the south; Here, the authorization Prince Friedrich was acquired for the later expansion. The colliery produced almost 90,000 t of anthracite coal around 1890 . The collapse of the Carl (Prince Wilhelm) shaft in 1896 weakened the company so economically that the union ran into serious financial problems.
In 1903, the Steingatt union had to liquidate because the necessary deepening of the remaining Laura shaft and the re- opening of the Carl shaft were completely beyond what was financially possible. The funding was discontinued. The southern part of the minefield, Prince Friedrich, was bought by the Altendorf union . The remaining part of the field was initially leased to smaller mining companies. From 1922 the Steingatt field was owned by Adler Bergbau-AG . Under their direction, and later under the union Heinrich colliery was during the commissioning of the mine Theodor wiederaufgewältigt .
