Mining history

On November 20, 1782, the prospect of a coal bank run over by the St. Martin Oberstollen was submitted to the mining authority . The inserted mutation was registered under the name St. Martin No. 4. The seam was surveyed on October 13 of the following year . On April 28th of the year 1789 the inspection was carried out by the mining authority. Following the inspection, there was a dispute between the owners of the mines Assumption and St. Martin . In the period between December 16, 1800 and February 25, 1801, an agreement was presumably reached in the legal dispute, because the pit field was divided equally between the contending parties.

In December 1822 the old Anton shaft was put back into operation. The shaft probably originated before 1796 and belonged to the Himmelfahrt colliery. On March 24, 1823, the Längenfeld United Ascension & St. Martin No. 4 was awarded . The length field was awarded in equal shares to the trades of the mines Himmelfahrt and St. Martin. The purpose of the award was to collectively mine the deposit . In 1825 the Anton, Bernhard and Conrad shafts were in operation. The following year, which included Berechtsame additionally the length field Freudenberg , this was at that time out of service. In 1829 began, the shaft Diedrich abzuteufen .

On August 27, 1830, consolidation took place below the bottom of the tunnel to form the United Bickefeld Civil Engineering mine . Above the bottom of the tunnel, the mine was still in operation, the extraction capacity was 7,600 Prussian tons per year. In February 1833 the United Himmelfahrt & St. Martin Colliery No. 4 was finally shut down.
