history

Concordia

On December 21, 1773 was carried out ceremony of the length field , then the mine was in operation. From 1796 it was out of order again. In 1822 it was consolidated into the United Concordia colliery.

Glücksburg

The mine was located in Sprockhövel- Obersprockhövel , between the Bocksmühle and Friedrich Wilhelm collieries . On March 21, 1806 the Längenfeld Glücksburg was awarded, after which the mine was in operation. In 1822 it was consolidated into the United Concordia colliery.

Trades hope Stolln

The trade hope Stolln was initially called Munkert's Stolln, then also Munkertscher Stolln or Müncherei Stolln. The award took place in 1750, after which the tunnel was set up. The tunnel mouth hole was located at a height of +172 meters above sea level east of the Sprockhöveler Bach and north of Sirrenberg. The driveway was carried out in a south-easterly direction and the tunnel reached a final length of 400 meters.

On December 21, 1773, the Erbstollenrechtlichkeit was awarded, and the now dilapidated tunnel should be cleared again. Before 1822 it was taken over by the Wind- & Bockmühlenbank colliery. In 1822 it was consolidated into the United Concordia colliery. Around 1841, the length field of the small windmill was released over the tunnel. In 1920 the Kleine Windmühle colliery created the breakthrough for water drainage and took over the tunnel.

The years as United Concordia

After the consolidation in 1822, the mine was initially not in operation. In 1823 the pit field was awarded . The Längenfeld Glücksburg No. 2 was awarded and prospecting work was carried out. In 1824, Lichtloch 6 and the Stock & Scherenberger Erbstollen were restored. This measure served the promotion from the tunnel between the light holes 5 and 6. In addition, a stretch to the west in the Neuefund seam was excavated. Mining began in 1825 and on October 26, 1825 a new length field was awarded.

In 1842 the Paul mine started mining. In addition to him, the Juliane shaft was also in operation. In 1850 it was necessary to pay additional fines , the mining took place in the pit of the Glückauf colliery . In 1852 the Neuefund and windmill were dismantled in the seams. The Göpelschacht Lina started mining in 1855. In addition, at the level of the former underground level of the United Stock & Scherenberg colliery, a joint sole site with the Glückauf colliery was driven to the west up to 438 Lachter . In 1856 the United New Concordia and United New Concordia II square fields were opened. In 1863 work began on solving the rights of ownership via the Dreckbänker Erbstollen. On December 19, 1864 and August 28, 1865, the consolidation with the Glückauf colliery took place .

Promotion and workforce

The first production figures come from the year 1830, around 3000 tons of hard coal were produced . In 1835 the production dropped to 1,902 tons. In 1840 14,274 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1842 the production rose to 21,929 Prussian tons. In 1845, 54 miners extracted 5,563 tons of hard coal. In 1835 production fell again to 1,602 tons.
