The United Flor & Flörchen colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen - Heisingen . The mine was located in the area of ​​today's reservoir arch. The mine was created through the consolidation of several previously independent mines.

history

On October 5th, 1872, the collieries Flor & Flörchen , Mühlmannsdickebank , Mühlmannsbank and Mühlmannsbänkchen consolidated under the name Zeche Vereinigte Flor & Flörchen. During the consolidation, the entire authorized area comprised 3 square and 4 length fields . There was a tonnage shaft , a weather shaft and the Mühlmannsbank I shaft. The second floor was at a seigeren depth of 70 meters, it was Unterwerksbau operated to the 3rd floor. The ventilation shaft should be up to the third floor geteuft be, but this was not carried out. In 1875 there was initially still a yield . Over the course of the year, however, there was an increased flow of water of up to 32 cubic feet per minute. Because of these strong water inflows, the costs were very high. As a result, the shareholders had to pay increased penalties because of these high costs . At the beginning of October 1877, the United Flor & Flörchen colliery was shut down. In 1878 the shafts were filled . In the course of the following time, the mine’s machines were sold. In the period from 13 May to 26 August 1880 the bill consolidated with the mines Notte Kamp Bank II and United Wasserschneppe to mine Heisinger depression .
