history
The beginnings
Even before 1780 was in the pit box of the mine tunneling operated. The first colliery that was operated in the mine field was the Hufstadt colliery. This colliery was already in operation as a mine of the Husstädter-Werke before 1800. Years later the mine was shut down and abandoned. In 1810, which took place Neuverleihung the length field under the name Caroline mine.
Operation as the Caroline mine
In 1810, the transition to civil engineering began at the Caroline mine . The Längenfeld, which was awarded on November 14th of the same year, was later converted into a quarter field and was located in the area of the old abandoned Hustädter Werke. The civil engineering operation was carried out by the Göpel shaft Theresa. This was at the lowest floor a depth of 22.5 Lachter . The greatest depth of the shaft was 47 meters. This year penalties were constantly required. The drainage to operate, was on the tunnel floor one at a depth of eleven Lachter drainage steam engine by Franz Dinnendahl erected. In the following year 36 miners were working on the mine .
In 1813 the water retention steam engine was put into operation and a machine shaft was sunk. In addition, mining began, there were 36 miners working on the mine. In 1816 the mine had three shafts, the Theresia and Alexander Göpel shafts and a machine shaft for drainage, and 112 miners were employed in the mine. In 1817 a water ingress occurred from the overburden, so that the mine flooded . The mine was subsequently swamped and mining began again. In January 1818, 120 miners were employed at the mine and mining continued. In March 1820 operations were stopped due to heavy water inflows. In 1822 the mine was reopened under the name Zeche Vereinigte Caroline.
The time as United Caroline
After it was put back into operation, a second shaft was first sunk in 1822. In the same year the overburden layer was pierced. The overlying rock layer had a thin layer of marl , making the United Caroline mine one of the first in the Ruhr area to mine below the marl boundary . Mining began in the Immanuel field, which had previously been mined by the United Roland mine. The authorized ones comprised a length field and a quarter field. From 1832 the mine was demonstrably in operation. In 1840 three shafts were in operation. In 1845 the mine was temporarily closed.
Around 1850 there was a legal dispute due to the unauthorized mining by the United Roland mine in the Immanuel field. In 1859 the mine was put back into operation in order to prevent those entitled to it from falling free. In 1863 there was very little activity on the mine and in 1866 the mine was finally closed. On March 30, 1886 and June 4, 1887 rights were divided into Caroline and Caroline Southern Field. On September 3, 1887, the southern Caroline field was transferred to the United Sellerbeck colliery . In 1891 the 40-year legal battle against the United Roland mine was won. Since the United Roland colliery had illegally mined in the Immanuel field, it had to pay compensation to the owners of the Vereinigte Caroline colliery. In 1903 the Caroline field went to the United Roland colliery.
