Mining history

The beginnings

On November 7, 1750, the prospect of mining a seam in Rombergssiepen was submitted to the Bochum Mining Authority. The mother of the Knights of Malta and Colonel Freiherr Küchenmeister von Sternberg and Dr. Spark. On November 7th, 1750, the Längenfeld star bench was awarded . The award was intended for the mining of four seams. The two mothers were entered as trades in the approval documents . After the award, a tunnel was created in Rombergs Siepen. The tunnel mouth hole was at the junction after the Rauterdelle. In 1754, the mine was closed in time limits , the reason for the time limit being a lack of sales. The mine was put back into operation the following year. In 1762, a renewed request was made. In the following year, the shaft was lifted in a ton-long shaft . A hand winch served as the drive machine . It was at this time a 1 1/8 Lachter powerful seam in Verhieb whose coals were good backend. Since the sale of the coal mined was obviously very bad that year, only minor mining was carried out. In addition, the mine was put in deadlines several times this year.

The further operation

There is evidence that the mine was in operation in 1764. In 1767 there was no operation. The mine was operational again in 1768 and 1769. The mine was in operation again in 1770, when the owner of the mine changed. On January 18 of 1771 were as trades Johann Arnold Eymann, Henrich Jürgen Tiggemann and Peter Hülsbeck in the documents entered the mining authority. The trades had a different number of kuxes . The mine was in operation in 1772, at which time five seams were already exposed. In 1775 the mine was only mentioned in the documents. In 1778 the mine was in operation. In 1783 the mine had already been in time for several years. A short basic stretch had already been excavated from the shaft in the east . In 1784 the mine was back in operation. The basic route was occupied by two miners . A tiller was used to drive the route and a tug was also present for extraction . In the middle of 1784 the basic route had a drive-up length of 30 laughs . In addition, an upper location had been excavated between two shafts to mine the coal. This place was also occupied by a tusk and a tractor.

The coal was mined in the roof structure . About 3.8 tons of hard coal were extracted from this mine . Together with the driveway of the basic route , the four miners extracted 6.6 tons of hard coal per day. The mined coal was conveyed via the conveyor shaft. For days, the coal was pushed from the shaft via a sliding path consisting of wooden running boards until the Kosthauser defeat , a coal defeat on the Ruhr . On June 1 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Sternberg colliery was the second mine that vom Stein visited on its journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. Vom Stein gave information in his protocol about the condition of the mine and the performance and payment of the miners employed there . Vom Stein complained about the surface transport of the mined coal by push cart to the coal depot and the associated high costs of 2½ Stüber per ring of coal. The only known production figures for the mine come from this year, 11,667 ringel hard coal was produced. In 1786 it was already being mined 700 meters east of the tunnel. The dismantling thus extended to today's Gahlenschen Strasse. In 1787 the company was closed.

The last few years

In 1790 the owner of the mine changed again and the mine was put back into operation. In the same year a push cart route to the Ruhr was created. In 1796 the area of ​​shaft 6 was mined. In 1799 the length of the tunnel was 191 meters. Since the trades constantly had to pay additional fines , the mine was shut down again in October of the same year. In 1824 there was another change of ownership. On March 4th of the same year the mine was put back into operation, the old tunnel was cleared and then further excavated . In the course of 1825, dismantling was initially carried out independently. On December 13 of the same year , the Sternberg colliery was combined with other collieries to form the Carl Friedrich's Erbstollen colliery .
