The United Forelle & Alteweib colliery is a former hard coal mine in Brünninghausen . The colliery was also known under the names Zeche Forelle & Alt Weib and Zeche Vereinigte Alteweib & Forelle and arose from the consolidation of the Forelle colliery with the Alte Weib colliery .
Mining history
On September 1, 1820 and February 8, 1821, the two mines Forelle and Alteweib were consolidated for joint civil engineering . The tunnel mouth holes of Zeche Alte Weib ( 51 ° 29 ′ 13.7 ″ N , 7 ° 27 ′ 1.8 ″ E ) and Zeche Forelle ( 51 ° 29 ′ 13.7 ″ N , 7 ° 26 ′ 53.2 ″ E ) were located opposite the Bolmketal on the south bank of the Emscher. The civil engineering went up to the 5th die bottom . The drainage was carried out with a Pferdetretrad from the art on the sole Kunstschacht Philip. In 1825 the Lucas, Christoph and Christian shafts and the Philipp art shaft were in operation. In 1828 a steam engine for drainage was installed at the Philipp shaft to replace the outdated horse-drawn bicycle. In 1830 the Rudolph, Markus and Hope shafts as well as the Philipp art shaft and a water shaft were in operation. The mining capacity of the shafts was 20,600 Prussian tons per year.
In 1835 the Rudolph and Markus shafts as well as the Philipp art shaft and a water shaft were in operation. In 1837 a steam engine was put into operation for extraction. In 1841 the stocks in civil engineering were almost depleted. In 1845 the Rudolph shaft as well as an art shaft, a water shaft and a found shaft were in operation. In 1847 the artificial shaft was sunk deeper . In 1849 6000 bushels of hard coal were delivered to the Rollmannsbrunnen of the Königsborn saltworks in Kamen-Heeren . In 1850 the mine was demonstrably in operation and in 1855 the mine was preserved in time limits . In 1858 the 4th underground level was in operation. In 1876 a machine shaft and an artificial shaft as well as the tunnel were in operation. There is no later information; the United Forelle & Alteweib colliery was probably shut down shortly afterwards.
Promotion and workforce
The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1836, at that time 12,007⅞ Prussian tons of hard coal were produced . In 1840 the production rose to 24,791 Prussian tons of hard coal. The last production figures of the mine come from the year 1841, in which 26,249 Prussian tons of hard coal were produced. A coal delivery of 6,000 bushels to the Königsborn saltworks was reported in 1849, but it is not clear whether this production originated in the same year.
