The United Krusenberg colliery in Essen-Bredeney Hill is a former hard coal mine . The mine was also known as Zeche Crusenberg and Zeche Kruschenberg .

Mining history

In 1841 the United Krusenberg colliery went into operation. On December 2nd of the same year a length field was awarded . The resulting pit water was drained through the tunnel of the Hitzberg colliery. In 1862 the stocks above the bottom of the tunnel were almost depleted . At that time the mine belonged to the Kettwig mining area . In 1870 the mine was taken out of service. Around 1870 , the United Krusenberg colliery consolidated with other mines to form the United Hitzberg, Crusenberg & Blumendelle colliery. At the end of 1871, the mine was started up again independently. In 1878 the deposits were almost exhausted. In the same year the United Krusenberg colliery was shut down.
