The United Carlsglück colliery is a former hard coal mine in Dortmund-Dorstfeld . The mine was also known as the Zeche Vereinigte Karlsglück and emerged from a consolidation of several authorized persons . The colliery was initially in operation under the name Zeche Carlglück , later with the consolidation the name was changed to Zeche Vereinigte Carlsglück. The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury district of Dortmund .

history

The years as Carlsglück

The mine was also known under the name of Zeche Karlsglück. On December 10, 1849 was carried out ceremony of the square field Carl luck. In the same year, a shaft started to sink on Wittener Strasse. The shaft was in marl up to a depth of 22 Lachter lined . In 1851, the shaft reached at a depth that of 57 meters carbon . In 1853 the artificial shaft reached a sea level of 60½ laughs. In the same year (98 m), the first at a depth of 47 Lach Tern  sole attached. When driving the bottom, three seams with a thickness of 20 to 26 inches were cut through. In addition, in the same year a tunnel was driven from the Emscher through the marl to the shaft. The tunnel was in the same year with the shaft durchschlägig . The tunnel served to keep the shaft drained. Furthermore, the construction of a horse-drawn tram to the Dortmund train station began. In 1854 the second level was set at a depth of 77.5 lights. The alignment crosscuts were driven from this first building base . Several seams were developed. With the northern cross passage a seam with a thickness of 22 feet was penetrated. The thickness of the seam, which is unusual for this area, indicates a thrust at the intersection. On the reserve floor, a seam of coal was hit with a thickness of seven feet. The well was equipped with a powerful dewatering machine and a carrier . The mine owner intended to build a rail connection to Dortmund train station for the mine. Mining began in 1855. The aboveground transport of the extracted coal took place via a rail connection with which the mine was connected to the Bergisch-Märkischen and Dortmund-Soester railways. On March 3 of the same year, the Elberfeld quarter field was awarded.

The following year, the seam outcrops were of poor quality. Most of the outcrops were in extremely pressurized and fissured side rock . The seams had a 77 gon dip to the south. The brushing of the seams was irregular, as was their thickness . The mine was connected to the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn network for days . In 1857 the deposit conditions had not yet improved. The seams were still frequently disturbed . Both the hanging wall and the horizontal wall were bad. In the same year work began on digging a weather shaft. The purpose of the shaft was to improve the ventilation in order to reduce the danger of firedamp. On July 26, 1857, the Geviertfeld Carlsglück Beilehn was awarded. Ten closed coke ovens were installed above ground this year . In 1858, the alignment work continued as planned. The alignment crosscuts on the weather bed and the first underground level were driven further south and north. The seams approached by the crosscuts turned out to be of little use. They were very irregular both in position and in thickness . In addition, the seams were badly disturbed . In the following year, the mine had not yet been excavated . The problems were caused by the irregularities of the mountains and seams. This year there was also more severe weather , but the water inflows were only small, they were up to 17 cubic feet per minute. The alignment work continued to run smoothly. In 1860 the alignment work on the first excavation level did not produce good results. Seams H. and J. were driven over with a test operation driven through the eastern main fault in seam F. Flöz H. had a thickness of 41 inches and 47 inches seam J. was powerful. Both seams dipped 66 gons north and were regularly pronounced. However, the part of the field north and east of the main fault was not large enough to enable the coal to be extracted sustainably. A cross passage was driven through the same main fault on the weather bed. With this cross passage an 18- foot thick seam was approached, half of which consisted of mining parts . In 1861, the northern crosscut passed through three seams, eight to 35 inches in thickness. The main eastern fault was approached with an approach length of 191 Lachter . In order to align the seams located behind the main fault, a cross passage was planned. The cross passage was to be driven south from the eastern invert of seam H. In the same year a mine fire broke out and operations were stopped. After the fire area was dammed , the pit fire suffocated. That same year the pit was drained. Towards the end of this year, a coal washing plant was put into operation on the mine dump . In 1862 it was consolidated into the United Carlsglück colliery .

The time as United Carlsluck

After the consolidation of the legitimate Carlsglück, the entire mine was swamped in 1862 . In the same year the mine was restarted. This year, the western basic stretches were laid on the underground excavation level , in seam M. up to a length of 174 pools and in seam No. V. up to a length of 210 laughs, continued up. On the bottom of the weather, the northern cross passage reached an approach length of 157 1/3 Lachter this year. The western base section in seam M reached a length of 72 pools on the weather bed behind the fault. In order to be able to explore the western field, the western basic section of seam No. IV. 140 puddles removed from the civil engineering crosscut, a test crosscut applied and driven to a length of 12¾ puddles. In the following year the northern weather crosscut reached an approach length of 197½ Lachter. The seam lit. E was approached in the northeastern field with the cross passages on the weather bed and the first building floor. In 1864, the production shaft was sunk from the second level. In 1865, the third level was set at a depth of 115 puddles. A cross passage to the east was then started on the same level. With the crosscut, seam No. 4 approached. The seam here was overturned. Instead of dipping 82.5 gons to the north, the seam was encountered with a dip of 49.5 gons to the south.

From 1866 onwards there was a steady decline in production, so that from 1869 onwards only the remaining stocks were reduced . In 1870 the mine went bankrupt, but continued to operate. On June 27 of the same year the mine was auctioned. In 1871 significant geological disturbances in the mine. On March 6 of the same year the mine was auctioned again. In the following year, a joint venture with the planet field colliery was formed , but both mines remained independent. In 1873 the shaft was sunk deeper again and in 1874 the 4th level was set at 323 meters. In 1876 the mine was sold to a new owner due to insolvency. At the end of the same year, funding was discontinued. In 1877 only experimental work was carried out and in 1878 it was restarted. The shaft was sunk deeper again and the following year the 5th level was set at 419 meters. In 1880 its own coking plant was put into operation. In 1882 a fire destroyed the coal washing machine and a new washing machine was built. In 1885 the 5th level was aligned. The following year, the carried breakdown of the fifth floor to the second floor of the mine Planetenfeldstraße . In the same year, the company was consolidated with the planet field colliery to form the United Carlsglück & planet field colliery .

Promotion and workforce

The first production and workforce figures are known from 1855, with 220 miners 44,368 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1858, 471 miners extracted 206,347 Prussian tons. The last figures are known from the year 1860, with around 300 miners 150,000 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1862 a total of 119,809 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined with 339 miners. In 1865, 485 miners extracted 246,832 Prussian tons. In 1869, 161 miners produced 426,191 bushels , or 23,441 tons, of hard coal. In 1874, 523 miners extracted 56,431 tons. In 1878, 70 miners extracted 5,794 tons of hard coal. In 1880 the workforce rose to 148 miners and 27,698 tons were mined. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1884. With 380 miners 83,699 tons of hard coal were mined. These are the last known production and workforce figures for the mine.

What is left

The Karlsglückstrasse in Dortmund-Dorstfeld is still reminiscent of the United Carlsglück colliery .
