The Urbanus colliery is a former hard coal mine in Langendreer , Kaltehardt district . The mine was also known under the names Zeche Urbanusbank and Zeche Urbanus Erbstolln . The mining area of coal mine Urbanus was south of the marl border in the apparent passing seams . The mine field of the mine was partly in the area of the city of Witten.
history
The beginnings
Already in 1715 the mine was in mining field degradation operated. In 1745 the tunnel had already been excavated 600 meters . After a water ingress, this first Urbanus tunnel was shut down in 1750. On August 5, 1752, the request was made . The mother was Freiherr zu Boenen, Diedrich Schulte and JR Rehlinghaus. The three mothers were involved in different parts of the requested pit field. The field length of the requested pit field was 1670 meters. On August 30, 1858, the mine was inspected by the mountain ridge Johann Friedrich Heintzmann . Heintzmann was of the opinion that the operation of the tunnel would most likely be associated with high costs. For this reason, the mining authority was ready to lend the extra-long mine field . On September 15, 1760, the Längenfeld Urbanusbank was awarded for the mining in Flöz Dickebank. In the same year the right to inheritance was granted for the Urbanus Erbstollen . This heritage tunnel was an earlier one, but it was only in operation for a short time due to the war and then fell into disrepair. On November 16, 1782, another request was made. This time the war and domain councilor Heinrich Liebrecht acted as mother. The new Urbanus tunnel was then driven further. Starting from the Hevener Bach of the tunnel was driven in an easterly direction to the fields Urbanusbank and Victor-Friedrich Bank solve . On June 17 of 1784 the mine was by the head of the Brandenburg district mining office, the Baron von Stein traveled . At that time, the tunnel was 333 meters long from the tunnel mouth hole, and a light hole had been created 267 meters behind the mouth hole . Vom Stein provided information about the condition and staffing of the mine in his protocol. In 1786 the right to inherit the Urbanus Erbstollen was granted. The right to inheritance was granted to the domain councilor Liebrecht and the mountain master Heintzmann.
Further expansion and operation
On May 24, 1787, the granting of the right to inheritance for the Urbanus inheritance was renewed. Permission to mine hard coal was granted. In the same year, the tunnel reached the carboniferous level with a drive length of 750 meters and also the first seams. The mining of the mined coal began. In 1789 the mine was combined with the Victor-Friedrich-Erbstolln. The reason for the association was the ownership structure, both tunnels were owned by the same union . In the same year, the Urbanus tunnel reached the Urbanus seam and mining began. The seam was mined in the substation . In 1792 the length of the Urbanus tunnel was already 1110 meters. On May 29th, 1793, a contract was signed for the creation of the deeper societal heirloom . In 1796, shaft No. 14 in funding . This year 45,130 ringlets were produced . At that time, this output corresponded to twice the normal output of any other mine. Due to the good mining conditions, the output of the mine could be increased. This success lasted over 20 years.
In 1800 the August and Liesabeth shafts were in operation. In 1804 the Wilhelm shaft was in operation. In 1805, all coal reserves in the Urbanus Erbstollen were mined, so operations in the Urbanus Erbstollen were discontinued. After a cross passage driven from the social tunnel had reached the Sanssouci seam, the cross passage was driven further north from the Urbanus colliery. In 1809, the light hole no. 7 broke through with the crosscut . In 1810, the area of the light hole no. 7 was dismantled. In 1813 the crosscut to the north in the Urbanus mine reached the Langebank seam. After the crosscut had reached the seam was in the pit box bay until the bottom of the cross shock that-Erbstollensohle Board was on the depth of, geteuft . Subsequently, dismantling began again. In 1815 the area of the light hole no.9 was mined. In 1820 the Thurm and Andreas pits were in production. In the following year, 40 miners extracted 3584 tons of hard coal. In 1824 the arrival and Gotthelf shafts were in production. From 1828 the trades began to expand their mine ownership. In the period from 1825 to August 22, 1828 , the Urbanus colliery consolidated with other mines and pit fields to form the United Urbanus colliery .
