history

The beginnings

Around the year 1700, the tunnel excavated from the Ruhr valley in an easterly direction reached a length of 220 meters. Although no award had yet taken place, the tunnel was already being mined . As the tunnel was under heavy pressure from the mountains , the tunnel was closed in 1730. In the course of the following years the tunnel was completely broken . On April 24, 1749, the suspicion of a coal bank that had been worked on a long time ago was lodged in the Stiepel court. The mother came from surgeon Jeremias Treuer zu Blankenstein, Johann Diedrich Striebeck, Albert Ostermann and Hermann Dellmann. A mine field the size of a treasure trove and ten dimensions was assumed . The four trades were equally involved. A length field was awarded on September 10 of the same year . The mine property was enfeoffed under the name "Treue" . In the following year, the excavation of the Treue-Oberstollen began. The tunnel was created in the Rauterdeller Siepen. Then dismantling began. The coal mined was transported to the Ruhr via a push cart . In 1754 the mine was in pursuant to paragraph shortage deadlines set.

The other years

The mine was put back into operation the following year. In 1756 a new tunnel was set up. The tunnel was located on today's Rauendahlstrasse. The tunnel was driven in the sunshine seam in an easterly direction. The mine was surveyed on February 4, 1765 . The mine was in operation from 1771. On January 17, 1771, the trades of Diedrich Jürgen am weg, Johann Diedrich Striebeck, Johann Peter Altema, and Jeremias Treuer were noted in the documents . All trades had a share of 32 kuxes . The legal fees were paid. In the period from 1772 to 1774 the coal was delivered to Kleve via the Ruhr. In 1775 the mine was only mentioned in the documents, but no activities were noted. The mine was in operation from 1777. In 1780 a shaft was in operation. The shaft was located about 335 meters from the tunnel mouth hole in the driving direction. After the sunshine seam had been mined, the mine was shut down in the same year. The Längenfeld was measured in 1787 . In the last years of the 18th century several shafts were sunk in the mine .

In 1795 a new tunnel was set up on Rauendahlstraße. It was located west of the old tunnel and was called the Tiefer Treue tunnel. The tunnel was excavated from the Ruhr valley in the Flöz waterfall in an easterly direction. However, the tunnel only reached a length of 157 meters. The reason for this was the rough hanging wall . After the tunnel had been driven over the entire length, a cross passage was driven into the sunshine seam. This cross passage was then driven 175 meters in an easterly direction. In 1796 the area of ​​the old shaft was dismantled. In 1800, the bays Lebrecht and Wohlgemuth were promoting . A coal storage facility was operated on the Ruhr. Around the same time the upper tunnel was aufgewältigt . Mining was then carried out again in the upper tunnel. At this point in time, the Tief Treue tunnel had almost reached the Rauterdeller valley. In 1805, shafts 4 and 5 were in operation. This year, 2307 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1806 the Friedrich shaft was in production. It was sunk to the depths of the Treuen Stollen for tons and had a shallow depth of 50 meters. In 1808, 1961 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1810 the Oberstollen almost broke. It was only broken down in the near-surface area . In 1811 the mine was initially still in operation. On July 20 of the same year the Zeche Treue consolidated with additional fields to the Zeche Vereinigte Treue & Amsterdam .
