The United Rabbits colliery was a coal mine in the Sprockhövel district of Hiddinghausen . The colliery was also known as Colliery Rabbit and Colliery United Rabbit . The colliery emerged from the consolidation of several mines and was in operation for around 20 years.
Mining history
In the period from June 3, 1855 to July 8, 1856, the Caninchen and Oberleveringsbank collieries consolidated with Landringhausen and Rennebaum , who were entitled to Eisenstein. Initially, the newly consolidated mine ran together with the Dachs & Grevelsloch colliery . The promotion took place in tonnlägigen shaft Rudolf. The shaft reached to the floor of the Stock & Scherenberg Erbstollen . During the same period, a wing location from the Dreckbänker Erbstollen was excavated in a northerly direction . The wing location was used to solve the pit field of the United Rabbits colliery. In 1858 the Rudolf shaft was closed. From now on, production took place in the Harkort shaft on Rennebaum, which took several tons. The shaft reached down to the deeper Dreckbänker Erbstollen sole and had a depth of 132 meters (+90 m above sea level ). In 1863 coal and coal iron stone were mined . In 1865 the mine was in operation; There is no information about the exact activities. In 1867 it was merged with the Zeche Leveringsbank to form the Zeche Vereinigte Leveringsbank & Rabbit. However, both mines continued to operate independently. On November 21, 1871, the mine consolidated into Zeche Deutschland . In 1879 the coal reserves were depleted, for this reason the United Rabbits colliery was closed in the second half of the same year. In 1889, the remainder was Berechtsame to mine Germany struck.
Promotion and workforce
The first production figures are given for the year 1855, in that year 3200 Prussian tons of hard coal and an unstated amount of iron stone were produced . The promotion was provided by 19 miners . In 1867, 29 miners extracted 4645 tons of hard coal and 204 tons of iron stone. In 1870, 23 miners extracted 3981 tons of hard coal. The maximum production was achieved in 1874, with 42 miners, 7,669 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1875, 41 miners extracted 4,508 tons of hard coal. The last known production figures of the mine come from the year 1879, 127 tons of hard coal were produced.
Current condition
