The Stralsund colliery is a former hard coal mine in the Witten district of Vormholz . The mine was located north of today's Altenhöfen road. The pit field of the Stralsund colliery markscheidete east with the Österbank colliery.

history

The beginnings

On November 28, 1726, the general granting of mining rights took place. In 1728 the mining rights for the Geitling seam were given to Lieutenant Freiherr von Elverfeldt. Von Elverfeldt called the coal bank with which he was enfeoffed Stralsund . From 1736 the mine was in operation for several years. The Elverfeldt mine owner had the coal bank dismantled through a tunnel that was driven from the Hardensteiner Tal . The mine came into the hands of new owners through inheritance and purchase. In 1750 Johann Diedrich Oberste Frielinghaus and Peter Jürgen Wegmann were the new trades of the mine. On February 4, 1751, a length field was awarded for mining in Geitling Flöz. Around 1770 Johann Henrich Oberste Frielinghaus was the main trade of the mine. At that time, the shift supervisor was Johann Henrich Schulte. Johann Henrich Schulte was also a farmhand on the farm of Johann Henrich Oberste Frielinghaus. Since the mining authority was concerned that this connection could lead to inconsistencies in the billing, Caspar Diedrich Hagemann was also appointed by the mining authority as controller for the mine. A few years later, Caspar Diedrich Hagemann was transferred to another mine for family reasons.

The other years

In 1789 a survey took place. From 1796 the mine was closed for a longer period of time . After the year 1808, the St. John's Erbstollen the mining area reached from Stralsund, the mine for several years has been decommissioned. Although the Stralsund tradespeople submitted an application to the mining authority to recommission the mine several times, the mine remained out of service on the instructions of the mining authority. The reason for this was the oversupply of coal from the neighboring mines. On April 1, 1828, the mine was put back into operation. In the same year the mine was partially merged with the Hazard colliery to form Hazard & Stralsund. Since the extraction through the now long tunnel was associated with high costs, the Heinrich shaft was sunk in 1829 . The Heinrich shaft was sunk in several tons in the seam to the bottom of the St.-Johannes-Erbstollen. After completion, the shaft had a depth of 105 meters. The following year, the Heinrich shaft in was encouraging . The shaft was equipped with a cap . Most of the coal extracted through the shaft was sold in the Bergisches Land . About the Erbstollen the accumulating in the well has water derived. The shaft was connected to the Hazard seam via a 25-meter-long crosscut , and the coal mined there was also extracted in the Heinrich shaft.

Before the year 1832 the association with the Zeche Hazard was dissolved. From 1835 to 1840 the Heinrich Göpel shaft was in production. Around 1840, work began to mine west of the St. Johannes Erbstollen under the Deipenbecke valley. However, a large fault zone was encountered in this part of the field . The seam here had a fault of several meters to the side and into the hanging wall . In order to explore the area, an investigation tunnel was excavated. This tunnel was used to drive into another seam for which no mining rights had been granted. After the mining authority had given its consent, this western part of the field was mined. On May 29, 1854 , the Stralsund colliery, below the St. Johanneserbstollen sole, consolidated with the Neuglück & Stettin , Hazard, St Johannes Nr. 4, Kleist, Österbank , Nelkenthal, United Arrival & Anclam , Rabener and Muttental colliery to form the Herberholz colliery . Above the bottom of the Erbstollen the mine remained in operation independently. In 1876 the Heinrich shaft was in production. On March 15, 1922, the mine was put back into operation. A shaft was added to the upper Berghauser Strasse . The shaft opening was to the west of today's parking lot. The shaft was tonnlägig the seam Geitling to St. John Erbstollensohle geteuft that seigere depth was 86 meters. In 1924, old mine workings were started up. In February 1926, the Stralsund colliery was finally shut down.

Promotion and workforce

The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1854, when five miners were employed in the mine. The first known production figures for the mine come from 1830, 4159 tons of hard coal were produced . In 1835, 43,926 bushels of hard coal were mined. In 1838, with 15 employees, 4,754 Prussian tons were extracted. In 1840 the production sank to 775 ¾ Prussian tons of hard coal. 1842 increase to 3,706 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1922, with 54 employees, 9094 tons of hard coal were mined. The last production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1924, when 3898 tons of hard coal were extracted with 20 employees.
