The Syburg colliery is a former hard coal mine in Syburg / Westhofen . The mine was also known as the Syburg coal mine in 1733 . The mine was located between the river valleys of the Syburger Dorfbach and the Mühlenbach. The Syburger Dorfbach is to the west of the mine and is fed by the Petersbach, the Mühlenbach is to the east of the mine. The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Hörde .

history

The beginnings

On October 10, 1834, the expectation was given to the fields Albin and Wittekind. Both fields were in the vicinity of Haus Husen. On November 10th of the same year, the courage was put on the field Great Hermann. This field was found to the west of today's Westhofener Strasse. The mother of all three speculations was a citizen from Westhofen by the name of Friedrich Küper. As a result of these speculations, there were border disputes with the Abendsonne colliery east of these fields, but these were settled in the course of the year. On December 18, 1834, all three conjectures were combined under the name Syburg. On October 8, 1853, a square was awarded . The mining rights were granted to the Sengsbank seam . The mining rights of the overlapping fields of the United Louise and Louisenglück collieries remained unaffected. A tunnel was set up in May of the following year . The starting point of this tunnel was planned on the southern slope of the Asenberg directly below the path from Haus Husen to Syburg . However, on the instructions of the main Brinkmann works , the tunnel was set up at the lowest possible point in the Ruhr level. The tunnel mouth hole was located on the Syburger Dorfbach near the Ruhr. As a result, the starting point of the tunnel was no longer inside, but outside of the lent field. Brinkmann was able to enforce this unauthorized change of the starting point at the mining office . Since the mining field adjacent to the south was still free of mines and was only to be awarded to the Abergunst colliery in 1859, the mining authority ultimately had no further objections. Especially since the gain in height of 16 meters, which was achieved through this unauthorized measure, enabled the Syburg colliery to unlock the largest possible coal reserve above the groundwater level.

business

The tunnel was in a northerly direction to the seam Fundflöz ascended . For ventilation were weather drums used. The weather was blown on site by means of ducts . In April 1854, the sinking of the Friedrich shaft began. The starting point of this shaft was around 285 meters from the tunnel mouth hole. It was located slightly north of the road from Haus Husen to Syburg. The depth to the bottom of the tunnel was 10½ laughs . So that the tunnel could be better weathered during the further excavation , two light holes were sunk between the tunnel mouth hole and the shaft . In 1855, 31 miners were employed at the colliery, but there was no coal production. The shaft was completed in 1856. In 1857 the tunnel was driven further. During the further excavation, a heavily tectonically stressed mountain range was penetrated, which was criss-crossed with saddles , hollows and faults . Further light holes were not created for cost reasons. As a result, the weather reached the limits of what was feasible. The following year, the found seam was reached at a distance of 101 laughs north of the Friedrich shaft. However, the seam was badly disturbed and therefore not worth building . In 1859 the Syburg colliery was closed. In the years 1863 and 1864 excavation work was carried out on the Asenberg . However, this work was unsuccessful. For this reason, the mine building , which consisted of a 490 meter long tunnel and three shafts, was thrown out . The three shafts were filled . The tunnel mouth hole was covered by the embankment when the Hengstey-Holzwickede railway connection was built in 1867 .
