The United Deimelsberger Erbstolln colliery was a coal mine in Steele . The colliery was also known as the Deimelsberger Stolln colliery and from around 1855 also as the Deimelsberg civil engineering colliery or the United Deimelsberg colliery or the Deimelsberg & Erbstollen colliery . The United Deimelsberger Erbstolln colliery was one of the founding members of the Association for Mining Interests.

history

The beginnings as Deimelsberger Stolln

The Deimelsberger Stolln was also known as the Deimelsberger Erbstolln. The tunnel was mentioned by name as early as the 17th century, but was only in operation since 1749. The Stollenmundloch was at Grendbach ( 51 ° 26 '27.5 "  N , 7 ° 3' 51.8"  O ). The excavation of the tunnel was carried out in a westerly direction in the Deimel mountain. In 1765 the mining was carried out near Spillenburg. In 1794 the Mining Office , a new survey and Mutungsschein issued under the name Deimerberg. In the same year prospecting and excavation work was carried out, and a coal mine was built on the Ruhr . The mine was in operation that year, the coal was transported to the coal mine on the Ruhr. The only known production figures date back to 1802, in which 180 Ringel coal were promoted in the day. In 1804 mining continued. In 1808 were shafts Josina and Arnold geteuft . To lift the pit water , hand pumps were borrowed from the United Sälzer & Neuack colliery. In 1811 mining continued. In 1815 only the alignment of the mine field was carried out, then work was carried out within deadlines. The mine was back in operation between January and June 1818. As of September 1820 due matter weather first in terms obtained in the course of the Deimel Berger Stolln was shut down. From January 1827 the tunnel was cleared again and the tunnel was then driven in a northerly direction. In 1829 it was consolidated into the United Deimelsberger Erbstolln.

Mining History The Hope

Very little is reported about the Hope Colliery . In 1796 several seams were developed and mortgaged . Around 1802 a tunnel was built near the town of Steele in the direction of Eickenscheidter Mühle. In 1804 the Conrad mine was in operation. In 1805 the mine was initially still in operation, at the end of the year the mine was within deadlines. In 1831 it was merged with the United Deimelsberger Erbstolln.

The years as the United Deimelsberger Erbstolln

On April 3 and 16, 1829, the right to inherit the Deimelsberg tunnel was first granted . Subsequently, the Deimelsberger Stolln consolidated with the muted pit fields Flöz Bunte Bank, Flöz Finefrau and Flöz under Girondelle to the United Deimelsberger Erbstolln. After the consolidation, a tunnel crosscut was driven to the north. On May 1st, 1830, the tunnel reached a length of 197 laughs . In 1831 another length field was awarded. In the same year was Berechtsame of mine Hope adopted. The tunnel operation of the mine The Hope was already several years out of operation and was merged with the United Deimelsberger Erbstolln. The Kloz shaft was sunk in 1832. In 1835 the Längenfeld Bunte Bank was awarded. From June 1837 the tunnel was driven. On February 24, 1840, the three Längenfeld seams Finefrau, Seam Kunigunde and Seam under Girondelle were awarded. In 1841 there was initially still little mining, after which the mine was probably within deadlines. From April 1843, mining began again, from July 31 of the same year the mine was again within deadlines. On December 15, 1852 the Längenfeld was awarded to Sophia. In 1853, the digging of shaft 1 began. The shaft was in the vicinity of the road in the field of Westfalenstraße Deimel Am Berg set ( 51 ° 26 '35.6 "  N , 7 ° 4' 5.8"  O ) and served as a transition to the civil engineering . In 1854, the shaft 1 reached at a depth the 37 meters carbon . In 1855 the level of the tunnel floor was reached at a depth of 43 meters (+19 meters above  sea ​​level ). At a depth of 38¾ laughs, the four-foot bench was penetrated. In the same year a water retention steam engine was put into operation. The machine had an output of 120 [horsepower | PS] and was operated in parallel to an existing machine with 40 PS. At that time the mine was part of the Essen Mining Authority. In 1856 the first level was  set at a depth of 113 meters from the hanging bank (−51 meters above sea ​​level) and mining began. The main floor was planned at a depth of 88 laughs. In 1857 the second level was set at a depth of 178 meters (−116 meters above sea level). This year, the opposing wings of the seams built at the violence colliery were opened on the bottom of the weather , which had been excavated at a depth of 54 peaks . However, the operation of the mine could not be expanded any further. The reason for this was the standstill shipping on the Ruhr . In 1858, shaft 1 was sunk deeper again. The shaft was sunk to a depth of 93¼ puddles and was thus 8½ puddles below the first underground level . This year, crosscuts to the south and north were driven on the first excavation level. With these cross cuts the coal seams were to be loosened . The driveway saw water inflows of 45 cubic feet per minute. Since the mine workings in the opposite wing of the water-rich seams of the violence colliery and below the Ruhr were excavated, it was assumed that the water inflows would become even stronger.

In the following year, the mine operators were forced to install a new dewatering machine at shaft 1 due to the high water inflow . The shaft had meanwhile a depth of 104½ laughs. On the first underground level, the two-foot bank and three-foot bank seams were approached with the southern cross passage. The northern cross passage was in the lying area of the sunshine seam and was deferred at this time . In the eastern part of the field, the outgoing seams lay in the inundation area of the Ruhr. This resulted in stronger water inflows in the respective stretches. In 1860 there were strong water inflows from the Ruhr, so that the routes in the eastern field had to be dammed . As a result, it was no longer possible to drive the routes up to the building limit. To compensate for this disadvantage, the tradesmen had the shaft sunk deeper. A track connection with the Prince Wilhelm Railway on the other bank of the Ruhr was planned. After the shaft was further sunk in 1860, the third level was set in 1861 at a depth of 246 meters (−184 meters above sea level). This year the Plasshoffsbank seam was crossed on the first underground excavation level with the northern cross passage. The seam was 15 inches in thickness . However, further excavation showed that the seam was becoming increasingly narrow and therefore unworthy of construction . On the second excavation level, the Eicker and Schnabel seams in the hanging wall were loosened with the southern cross passage. The driveway driving on the weather bed in the seams of Fussbank, Fussbank 4, Eicker and Schnabel went according to plan. The water inflows ranged from 76 to 78 cubic feet per minute that year . At that time the mine was part of the Steele mining district . In 1862, a mound-length weather shaft was sunk in the north field . On the 85-Lachtersole, the northern cross passage was driven through the Stein & Königsbank seam with an approach length of 156½ Lachter. Since the two- foot bank seam had meanwhile been dammed , the water inflow on the 1st level also decreased by 20 cubic feet . The water inflows were now 70 cubic feet per minute. On September 13 of the same year, seven miners were killed in a prohibited cable ride . In the following year, the northern cross passage on the first excavation level reached an approach length of 212¼ Lachtern. The Finefrau seam was crossed with the cross passage in the course of the drive. On the second building level, the cross passage to the south was driven to a length of 41 Lachtern. The mining took place above the weather bed and the first building floor in the seams Vierfussbank and Schnabel. In 1865 the first work on the sinking of shaft 2 began. In the following year, the drilling of shaft 2 began. It was planned to connect the shaft with the Ruhrniederlage by means of a 72 inch high and 86 inch wide conveyor tunnel . This shaft was called shaft Deimelsberg 1 and was located near shaft 1. In 1868, a connection between shafts 1 and 2 was created at shaft 2 at a depth of 41 meters (+21 meters above sea level) by a conveyor tunnel . In 1869, mining began at Deimelsberg 1 shaft, and mining in shaft 1 was discontinued in the same year. However, this year there were occasional operational restrictions, the reason for this being the stagnant sales. The problem was resolved in the current year by opening a connecting line to the Märkische Eisenbahn.

The time as United Deimelsberg

In 1870 it was consolidated into the United Deimelsberg colliery. This consolidation was carried out between the United Deimelsberger Erbstolln colliery, the Längenfeld Kunigunde and the authorized persons Finefrau, Deimelsberg Bänksgen, Sophia and Kunigunde. The total entitlement comprised five length fields with a total area of ​​236,964 square meters. Later came the em field Field Marshal Friedrich Wilhelm added. There were three shafts with the Seigeren production shaft Deimelsberg 1, a ton-long weather shaft and the out-of-service shaft 1. The 1st level was at −51 meters above sea level, the 2nd level was at −116 meters above sea level and the 3rd level was at −184 meters above sea level. The coal was sold via the Ruhr and with a connecting railway to Steele station. In 1872 a fire broke out for days. In 1874, the barrel-length weather shaft was sunk deeper. In 1875, the rights holders covered an area of ​​2.4 square kilometers. In 1876 work began on the Deimelsberg 2 shaft on Laurentiusweg. In 1877, the weather bed was set in the Deimelsberg 2 shaft at a depth of 61 meters from the suspended bank (+41 meters above sea level) . At a depth of 140 meters (−38 meters above sea level) it became the first level, at a depth of 216 meters (−114 meters above sea level) it became the second level and at a depth of 279 meters (−177 meters above sea level) it became the 3. Sole attached. In 1878 the Deimelsberg 2 shaft was sunk deeper. The old shaft 1 was dropped in the same year due to excessive water inflows. In 1879, shaft 1 was filled. In 1885 the consolidation to the Zeche Johann Deimelsberg was initiated. In 1887 the consolidation to the Zeche Johann Deimelsberg was carried out.

Promotion and workforce

The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1832, 10,624 bushels of hard coal were produced. In 1834 the production rose to 39,156½ bushels. In 1836, 3272¼ tons of hard coal were mined. In 1840 the production sank to 1,034 Prussian tons of hard coal and in 1841 only 469⅛ Prussian tons were mined. The first known workforce at the mine dates from 1858, at that time 194 miners were employed in the mine, who produced 152,003 Prussian tons. In 1860 199 miners were employed in the mine, the production in that year amounted to 199,918 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1861, 165 employees produced 225,133 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1863 a production of 218,435 Prussian tons was achieved. The workforce was 123 this year. In 1865, 223 miners extracted 309,846 tons of coal from Prussia. The last funding and workforce figures as Vereinigte Deimelsberger Erbstolln come from the year 1869, when 341 miners extracted 77,638 tons. The first known funding and workforce figures after the renaming to Vereinigte Deimelsberg date back to 1870, when 312 miners were producing 112,141 tonnes of hard coal. In 1872 the production rose to 157,670 tons of hard coal, the workforce had increased to 521 miners. In 1875, 419 miners produced 99,309 tons of hard coal. In 1880 332 miners were employed in the mine and 104,896 tons of hard coal were extracted. The last production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1885, when 299 miners produced 86,326 tons of hard coal.
