The United Krebsenscheer colliery in Essen-Bredeney- Heide is a former hard coal mine . Despite its more than 35-year history, the mine was only in operation for 20 years. The Krebsenscheer colliery was one of the founding members of the Association for Mining Interests .
Mining history
On June 15, 1853, a length field was awarded . The award related to three seams , above all the Geitling seam. From the 2nd quarter of 1855 coal was already being mined . In 1858 the Friedrich shaft was mined. In 1865 the mine was demonstrably in operation. In 1868 the mine was shut down for a few months. The reason for this was the construction of a railway line. The mine was put back into operation the following year. In 1878 the coal reserves were depleted above the tunnel floor. In the same year the United Krebsenscheer colliery was shut down. In 1888, which was Berechtsame the colliery Langenbrahm slammed shut.
