The Turteltaube colliery was a tunnel mine in Bommern in Muttental . The mine belonged to the Herbede court. The mine was built on two wings, each with a separate tunnel in the nightingale trough, and was in operation until the middle of the 19th century.
history
The beginnings
In 1731 the mine field was awarded by the Prussian Mining Authority . However, initially only the south wing was awarded in the form of a length field . The mining field of the Braunschweig colliery was located on the eastern divide . The field was located 200 meters east of Muttentalstrasse and south of the Auf Steinhausen road. The seam occurring in the mine field has only a slight dip . It had a thickness of 1.22 meters and was on the slope of the Muttental in a flat, wide saddle and reached to the surface of the earth. The mine went into operation in 1731. After the coal was mined, it was of carts runners in single-wheel drive carts through the adit turtledove to day promoted .
In the years 1754 and 1755 the mine was in deadlines due to lack of sales . From 1756 the mine was back in operation. The south wing was measured in 1766 . In 1784 the mine was still in operation. The conveyor tunnel had now reached a length of 355 meters. The promotion took place further means of running truck. On June 29 of that year, the mine was by the head of the Mark Berg Revieres, the Baron von Stein , navigate . The Turteltaube colliery was one of 63 mines that vom Stein used on its journey through the Brandenburg mountain area. Vom Stein gave information about the further condition of the mine in his protocol. In particular, he criticized the uneconomical nature of the promotion using cart runners and wheeled carts. Vom Stein was of the opinion that it would be more economical to switch to Hunte funding . He also suggested that a shaft to sink and the promotion of Hunte then working through this slot to.
The following years until the consolidation
After 1784 the mine was initially on time for several years. In 1790 the south wing was put back into operation. In 1792 the Schiebekartrenweg was completed, it was 1230 meters long. Now the coal was transported over days by cart runners in single-wheeled carts on the sliding route made of boards to the Ruhr and from there it was shipped to Aaken . From March 1818 to 1824 operations were interrupted for almost six years. In 1824 the mine was put back into operation. To drain the pit water , the colliery was connected to the St. Johannes Erbstollen in 1824 via the Frielinghaus wing . In 1829 the Turteltaube colliery and four other mines participated in the construction of the Muttentalbahn . In 1830 the north wing was put into operation. From this year the mine was also called turtledove south wing and turtledove north wing with the two operating areas. The north wing was awarded on December 7th of the following year. On April 25, 1832, the north wing merged with the United Nightingale colliery below the bottom of the St. Johannes Erbstollen . The purpose of this association was the creation of a common civil engineering . Each mine continued to mine above the bottom of the Erbstollen for its own account, the Neptun shaft of the United Nightingale colliery was used for joint extraction. The shaft was sunk to a length of tons and served to reach the coal deposits below the Ruhr water level.
In 1834, there were only a few unexploited coal reserves left in the south wing. In 1835 only the remaining coal pillars were dismantled in the south wing, then the south wing was laid in time limits. The disused part of the north wing has now been opened up by the United Nightingale colliery. In 1836, in the north wing in the substation construction below the tunnel floor. In 1838, the north wing was initially mined above the bottom of the tunnel, and operations were discontinued in the course of the year. On March 6 of the same year the north wing consolidated into the United Nightingale colliery. In 1838, the joint civil engineering was initially funded; from July of the same year, the north wing was placed within deadlines. In 1853 the bill consolidated turtledove with the colliery Louis Fortunately for colliery Louis happiness .
Promotion and workforce
The first known workforce dates from 1792, in that year three tusks and two tugs were employed on the mine. In 1793, a daily production of 65 ringlets of hard coal was achieved. In 1811, five employees mined 600 tons of hard coal . In 1830 coal production rose to over 2500 tons. In 1835 there was a production of 31,820 bushels of hard coal. In 1837 the Turteltaube colliery achieved an annual output of around 3000 tons.
Location in the Muttental and current use
Today the mine is part of the Muttental mining trail . The tunnel mouth hole is located northwest of the house of prayer that is still in existence today and was built jointly by several tunnel mines . The tunnel mouth hole of the Turteltaube colliery had long since fallen into disrepair. Up until 2005 there was a concrete pipe in the slope to ensure that the mine workings were still vitally ventilated . In 2006 the mouth hole was restored.
