The Timmerbeil civil engineering colliery in Hohenstein is a former hard coal mine . The mine was also known as the United Timmerbeil colliery . It emerged from the consolidation of several previously independent mines.

Mining history

On September 20, 1856, the Knappsack , Timmerbeil and Theodora collieries consolidated into the Timmerbeil civil engineering colliery. The purpose of this consolidation was the joint transition to civil engineering . The rightful encompassed a length field . The mine went into operation in the summer of the following year. There was started from the lug sole a tonnlägigen conveying shaft until the seam Theodora ( Mausegatt to) intersect . The seam in this area was 2.2 meters thick . In 1858 the shaft reached a shallow depth of 65 laughs and reached down to the depths of the trough. A bottom was added at a shallow depth of 60 meters. The dismantling began in the same year . In 1860 an experimental shaft was sumped and then sunk deeper in the Timmerbeil seam. In the following year, an auxiliary sole was added at a shallow depth of 33 laughs. In 1862 the shaft was sunk another 15 pools. At that time the mine was part of the Witten mining area . In 1863, the excavation floor was set in the shaft, which had been sunk in the Timmerbeil seam, at a depth of 80 pools . The excavation of a cross passage started here. The crosscut served to align the Knappsack seam. In the same year, Flöz Knappsack was opened. In the seam, the top was the sole fully aligned with the degradation started the pillars. In addition, a sole location to the east was set this year. In 1865 the mine was still in operation, but problems arose with high water inflows. There were also many geological faults to deal with. In 1867, 4,166 tons of hard coal were mined. On May 5th, 1868, the Timmerbeil civil engineering colliery was shut down. The field of the Timmerbeil civil engineering colliery was later covered by the quarter field of the Bergmann colliery . On April 5, 1873, the award was revoked as a result of a waiver . After 1945 the Timmerbeil tunnel was used again for a time by the Borbachtal colliery .
