Mining history

The beginnings

The mine was already in operation in 1742. On May 20, 1743, the Längenfeld Storksbank No. 1 and Storksbank No. 2 were awarded . The trades Johann Henrich Lange and Caspar Storck and consorts were enfeoffed. In the following year, the benches No. 1 and No. 2 were measured into a treasure trove and eleven dimensions . From 1755 the fields Storksbank No. 1 and Storksbank No. 2 were in operation. In 1763 the Längenfeld Storksbank No. 3 was awarded. The mine was then still in operation. In 1768, benches No. 3 and No. 4 were measured. On April 17 of 1771 were as trades Dr. Funcke, Johann Wilhelm Crone and the Commissioner Rappard were entered in the records of the Mining Authority. The trades had a different number of kuxes . The widow Funcke had previously transferred half of her kuxe to the Commissioner Rappard, who had sold a third of his kuxe to Johann Wilhelm Crone. The legal fees were paid, but no mortgage had been granted for banks No. 3 and No. 4 up to this point.

The other years

The mine was surveyed in 1774 . In 1784 there was a water ingress from old mine workings . In 1786 the mine was back in operation. After that, the mine was no longer mentioned in the documents for several years. From August 1824 the mine was mentioned again in the documents. In the same year, the mine took over driving the Glückauf Erbstollen to the south. On November 10, 1825, the excavation of the Er adollen from the Storksbank colliery was completed. From this point on, the further excavation of the tunnel was carried out by the Glückauf colliery . In the following years the mine was no longer mentioned in the documents. Around 1835 a lawsuit was brought against the Glückauf Erbstolln colliery, the reason for this being a dispute over who was entitled .

In the years 1838 to 1841 the fields Storksbank No. 1 and Storksbank No. 2 were in operation as an independent part of Storksbank. In 1840 Isabelle was mined in the seam . On October 11, 1841, the Längenfeld Storksbank No. 4 was awarded, but there was no mining in the field. In 1842, the independent field of operation fields Storksbank No. 1 and No. 2 was shut down, the rights holders moved back to Storksbank. On May 20, 1843, another length field was awarded. In 1846, the well was Adolph in promotion . The shaft was equipped with a horse peg. In the same year there was a union with the Wilhelmine colliery , but this union was not confirmed by the mining authorities. In 1853 the mine was still in operation. The Storksbank colliery was shut down the following year. In 1897 the rightful owner of the Glückauf Tiefbau colliery was added.

Promotion and workforce

The first known workforce dates from 1755, when twelve miners were employed in the mine. Five of these employees in Storksbank No. 1 and seven employees in Storksbank No. 2. The first funding figures come from 1836, in that year 17,273 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1838 3795 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 the production sank to 117 tons of hard coal. In 1842 8704 tons of hard coal were mined. These are the last known figures for the mine.
