The United Friedrichsfeld colliery is a former hard coal mine in the Annen district of Witten . The colliery was created in 1800 from a consolidation of the Friedrichsfeld collieries, Schiffahrt along with Beilehn and Lisbetha. The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Ostlich Witten .
Mining history United Friedrichsfeld
On August 3, 1803, the three length fields Friedrichsfeld No. 1, 2 and 3 were awarded . The mine thus had a very extensive mine field , but the best seams could only be reached by underground construction. In the meantime, the mine was probably closed, because in April 1830 the mine on Röhrchenstrasse was put back into operation. A cross passage was driven north from the Franziska Erbstolln . In 1835 alignment of the mine field. In 1838 there was no funding. In 1839 the Göpelschacht Crone was sunk , the shaft reached a deeper depth of 21 pools . In the years 1840 and 1845, the bay Crone was promoting . The coal mined from the Christiana colliery was also mined through the Crone shaft for several years . In 1850, coke was produced using special kilns .
On March 6, 1851, the Geviertfelder Friedrichsfeld 1 to 6 were awarded. At the end of December 1852 the mine was closed and on June 1st of the following year the mine was put back into operation. In 1854 the coke production was stopped, it was the last coke pile that was operated in the Ruhr area. At the end of June of the same year, the mine ceased operations. From January 1855 the mine was put back into operation, the solution came from the Franziska Erbstollen. There was a seam with a thickness of 23 inches in Verhieb taken. Up to this point in time no transition to civil engineering has been carried out. In 1856 the mine already had several Göpel shafts. The mine was demonstrably in operation in 1858, and out of operation again in 1861. In 1865 the mine was operational again, after which it was no longer mentioned in the files. In 1875 the United Friedrichsfeld colliery was acquired by the United Hamburg colliery .
Promotion and workforce
The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1830, when six miners were employed in the mine. The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1837, 73½ tons of coal were produced . In 1840 ½ tons of Prussian hard coal were mined in 1819 and 27,156 bushels of hard coal in 1845 . The workforce varied between 16 and 26 miners. In 1850, 48,024 bushels of hard coal were mined. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine come from 1855, when 14 miners produced 9871 ½ tons of coal from Prussia.
Mining history Friedrichsfeld
Very little is reported about the Friedrichsfeld colliery ; it was also known as the Friedrichs Feld colliery . In 1779 the prospect for the mine field was introduced. The mine was in operation between the years 1785 and 1790. On November 17, 1787, the hereditary tunnel justice was awarded. In 1800 the colliery consolidated with two other collieries to form the United Friedrichsfeld colliery.
