The United Mülheimerglück colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Burgaltendorf . The mine emerged from the consolidation of two previously independent mines.
Mining history
In 1840 the Mülheimerglück and Wildenstein collieries consolidated into the United Mülheimerglück colliery. The mine was in operation from 1842 to 1854. In 1855 the mine consolidated below the bottom of the tunnel with other mines to form the Altendorf colliery; above the bottom of the tunnel, the United Mülheimerglück colliery continued to operate as an independent mine. The mine was in operation from 1857 to 1875. In 1881 the mine was closed. On August 15, 1910, the mine was put back into operation. At this point the mine had cut a tunnel and two days . In the following year a second tunnel was set up. In 1912 the mine had already been cut for five days and had its own railway connection. The construction site had an area of 500 meters across the line and 230 meters across. In 1913 the mine ran into financial difficulties, as a result of which operations were closed in June of the same year.
In 1915 operations were resumed. In 1917 the pit field of the United Catharina colliery , consisting of the fields Catharina and Catharina II, was taken over. Subsequently, mining began in the fields . In 1919 the mine had three days of excavation and one tunnel. In 1921 the mine field of the United Prussian Eagles colliery was taken over. In this mine field, too, mining began. On August 15, 1924, mining in the United Prussian Eagle field was stopped. On June 30 of the following year, operations were stopped due to a lack of sales. From the beginning of the year until April 30, 1926, the mine was put into operation again. After that, it was out of service again until the end of July of the same year and was put back into service on August 1 of the same year. On January 10, 1927, the United Mülheimerglück colliery was shut down. In 1951 the mine was reopened as a small mine under the same name .
Promotion and workforce
The first production figures come from the year 1840, 29,006 ¾ Prussian tons of hard coal were produced. In 1842, the production fell slightly to 21,960 Prussian tons of hard coal. In 1867, 3378 tons of hard coal were mined. The first workforce dates from 1869, when 25 miners were employed in the mine. The production this year was over 5500 tons of hard coal. In 1870 5140 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1875 the production sank to 433 tons, the workforce was three miners. In 1881 production fell again to 284 tons of hard coal, two miners were still there. In 1910, twelve employees produced 2346 tonnes of hard coal. In 1913 the production rose to 9,315 tons of hard coal and the workforce rose to 43 employees. In 1915, production fell to 3,229 tons of hard coal; 20 employees were employed in the mine. In 1920, 73 employees produced 12,621 tons of hard coal. The maximum production of the mine was provided in 1922 by 130 employees. This year 20,904 tons of hard coal were mined. The last figures are from 1926, with 20 employees 3564 tons of hard coal were mined.
Kleinzeche United Mülheimerglück
In 1951 the United Mülheimerglück colliery was reopened as a small mine . This small mine was owned by the United Mülheimerglück union. On June 30 of the same year, the mine was closed again. The company Graf Butterbach later took over the mine. In February 1952 the mine was put back into operation. On September 12th of the same year the owner of the mine changed again and the union Vereinigte Mülheimerglück became the owner again. On September 15 of the same year, the Mecklenbeck small mine was taken over. On November 5, 1952, the United Mülheimerglück small mine was finally shut down.
