history
The time as United Glückauf
In 1762, the tradesman Peter Jürgen asked the mining authority for permission to rework an abandoned coal bank in Padberger Siepen. This coal bank had already been worked on earlier, but was no longer worked on because of the too high level of arable smell . In the same year, a tunnel was set up between the current settlement “Am Padtberg” and the “Hohen Egge” . In the documents it was noted: “A deeper field scent has already been set”. On 15 September the same year the carbon bank was through the mountain jury Heintzmann take a close look . After the inspection, the jury Heintzmann endorsed the loan. In order to be able to cover the expected costs, Peter Jürgen took on two other trades with Caspar Dürholt and Henrich Peter Niepmann. Each of the three trades received a third share of the mine ownership. Since the costs were too high for Henrich Peter Niepmann, he left the community after a short time . In 1766 the mine was in operation and already yielded yield . On January 10 of the same year, the requested loan was approved by rescript. A few years later, operations were discontinued due to insufficient building worthiness .
The pit field was measured on August 4th, 1771, and a length field was awarded on August 28th of the same year . Since the Niepmann trade had left, Henrich Melchior Schachmann was involved in the mine ownership as a co-trade. The trades planned to restart the mine shortly after the award. On August 28, 1771, the trades Diedrich Henrich, Caspar Dürholt and Henrich Melchior Schachmann were noted in the documents . All trades had a share of 42 2/3 Kuxen . The trades were ready to pay the legal fees again, if necessary a new loan should be granted. The colliery was initially in operation in 1774, but was later shut down. In February 1824 the mine was put back into operation. In the same year an old shaft named Schacht Rudolph was sunk . In 1826 the deep tunnel was driven . In 1830 the whale shaft was mined and 608 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1835 the Ludwig and Primus shafts were in operation. Schacht Ludwig was equipped with a horse peg. This year 5199 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1836 the United Glückauf colliery was renamed the United Glückauf & Hegermann colliery .
United Glückauf & Hegermann
The United Glückauf & Hegermann colliery in Durchholz was also known as the Glückauf & Hegermann colliery , but mostly it was only called the United Glückauf colliery . After the name was changed in December 1836, the Ludwig and Primus pits were dismantled. In the years 1840 and 1845, the Ende manhole, equipped with a horse peg , was in operation. On April 3, 1848, the Längenfeld Hegermann I extension was awarded. In 1854 a tunnel mouth hole was struck on the eastern side of the Pleßbach valley. In 1867, two tunnels and the two- ton Gustav shaft were in operation. This shaft was equipped with a horse peg and had a shallow depth of 57 laughs . In 1876 the Gustav shaft was sunk 51 meters below the bottom of the tunnel . In 1880, the rights covered a length field. In 1885 the United Glückauf & Hegermann colliery was shut down after the coal reserves had been depleted. In 1901, the pit field was initially added to the Blankenburg colliery. In 1933 the Elisabethenglück colliery bought the mine field.
Promotion and workforce
The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1836, in which 2093¾ tons of Prussian hard coal were produced. In 1840 the production rose to 21,062⅛ Prussian tons of hard coal. The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1845, when 15 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 2995 tons. The maximum production was achieved in 1855 with 25 miners; 29,724 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1863 it sank to 2998 tons. In 1867, 13 miners extracted 63,008 bushels of hard coal. In 1870 14,603 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined with 14 miners. In 1875 the production sank to 1031 tons, this production was provided by 18 miners. In 1880 14 miners were employed at the colliery, who produced 2182 tons. The last known workforce at the mine dates back to 1883, in that year seven miners were still employed at the mine, who produced 1582 tons of hard coal. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1885, in that year 741 tons of hard coal were produced.
