In the same year, the mining in the mine field of the Marck colliery was stopped. In 1795 a new tunnel was opened because the old one had broken . The new tunnel was called the Kirschbaumer tunnel. The opening of the Kirschbaumer tunnel was next to that of the broken old tunnel. The mined coal was extracted via shafts . A 3320 meter long sliding path to the Ruhr was created. In 1796, shaft 5 was in operation as a so-called Haelfs shaft (auxiliary shaft). In 1800, the bays 1 and 6 were promoting .
