The United Hardenstein colliery is a former hard coal mine in Witten- Hardenstein. The mine was created around 1847 from a consolidation of several mines. The mine was shut down and reopened several times during its operating time.

history

The beginnings

Around the year 1847, the St. Johannes Erbstollen consolidated with the Frielinghaus colliery and the Weselbank colliery, which had fallen free . The consolidation served to mine the seams below the bottom of the tunnel . The authorized included the three shafts Orion, Heinrich and Alexander. In the Orion shaft, the bottom of the Erbstollen was at a depth of three laughs , the shaft had a depth of 28 laughs. In addition, two steam engines were set up for dewatering. A length field was awarded on October 31, 1848, possibly not until November 9 . In the years 1854 to 1857 the mine was out of order. On July 11, 1859, the Geviertfelder Hardenstein I to II were awarded. In 1863 again there was no operation, from 1865 the mine was operational again.

The other years

In 1866, a part of the field was given to the United Louisenglück colliery , the reason for this being a lease with the United Louisenglück colliery, which provided for the part of the field to be surrendered under the bottom of the Erbstollen . In 1876 the colliery Hardenstein was once again out of service it was in the documents of the mining authority cited as Hardenstein I and II. In October 1909 the United Hardenstein colliery was put back into operation. A day tunnel was excavated east of the Hardenstein ruins . The construction site covered an area of 50 meters with a stroke and 20 meters across. In 1910 there was a tunnel and a daytime overcutting, the authorized area comprised a square.

In 1911, the United Hardenstein colliery was shut down again, and the mine field was leased by the Gut Glück & Wrangel colliery. The lease expired on April 1, 1917. On February 25, 1926, the mine field was leased by the United Hermann mine; this lease contract expired on February 29, 1928. The mine field was then leased by the Cleverbank colliery , this lease contract ended in 1934. On June 16, 1936, the Geviertfelder Flößgraben I to III of the Flößgraben colliery were taken over. Around 1950 the right to the Herbede colliery was slammed.

Subsequent use

After 1956, the Orion mine was used as an independent small mine for a few years .

Promotion and workforce

The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1867, 47,101 bushels of hard coal were produced . In 1869 the production rose slightly to 49,772 bushels of hard coal. The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1872, when seven miners were employed at the mine who produced 1899 tonnes of hard coal. In 1874 there was a sharp drop in production, only 525 tons of hard coal were extracted. The last mining and workforce figures for the mine are from 1910, when seven miners were working to mine 2506 tons of hard coal.

What is left

Only remnants of the Orion shaft remain from the United Hardenstein colliery.
