history

The beginnings

In 1754, the first carried out surveying the Berechtsame . After that, the mine was in operation for several years. From 1755 Engelbert Quambusch worked as a shift supervisor at the mine. On September 13th of the year 1760 there was an additional award to the already existing Längenfeld . The total length was now 615 meters. In 1789 the mine was entered on the Niemeyer's map under the name Zeche Thinsberg . At this point the mine already had several shafts. The mine was probably taken out of service afterwards, as the mine was back in operation from August 1806. In the same year a tunnel was set up. The tunnel was located on the eastern side of the Pleßbach in the area of today's Hohe Egge and Uhlenbruchstraße. In July 1807 the mine was closed in time limits . The mine was shut down the following year. On June 12, 1810, the mine was put back into operation. Mining was carried out in the area of shaft 3 . In addition, a cross passage was opened. The drive up was done with mallets and iron . This cross passage had become necessary in order to be able to mine the coal of the Kreftenscheer seam on the other side of the basin . From August 1813 the mine was taken out of service again. In January 1816, the mine was initially still in operation, after which it was closed again. The mine was out of service for several years.

The further operation

On April 5, 1848, the length field Neue Tinsbank was awarded as a continuation of Tinsbank. The field had already been muted on June 11, 1795. In the period from 1875 to 1900 the field fell to the Blankenburg colliery . The Tinsbank colliery was back in operation around 1850 to 1860. Then the mine was shut down again. In 1921 the mine was back in operation and coal was produced on a relatively small scale. The following year it was shut down again. In 1923, the Tinsbank union reopened the mine . On June 1st of the following year the mine was closed again. From February to July 1934 the mine was back in operation. It was mined in the tunnel built in 1806. After that, the mine was out of operation again until April of the following year. From May the mine was put back into operation for a few years. In March 1940, operations ceased and in June of the same year the Tinsbank colliery was shut down. In 1952 the mine was registered again for commissioning. A small mine was supposed to be put into operation here under the name Teta Colliery . It was planned to work with open light in natural weather conditions . The tusks were supposed to load the mined coals into wagons and remove them by hand . However, there was no operation.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production figures date back to 1806, this year 1093 were ringed coal promoted. In 1921, 10 tons of hard coal were extracted per day. In 1935, eight miners extracted 1,274 tons of hard coal. In 1938 the maximum production of the mine was achieved. With 14 employees, 5,722 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1940 there were still three employees at the mine, 773 tons of hard coal were extracted. These are the last known production and workforce figures for the mine.
