Mining history
The colliery was built on October 21, 1856 by the Aplerbecker Aktien-Verein für Bergbau in Dortmund-Sölde as a double -shaft system. It was on the Dortmund-Unna railway line not far from Sölde train station.
Production began in 1859 and by 1870 was already 100,000 tons. The further processing of the hard coal was carried out in our own briquette factory from 1887 .

In 1905 the first battery locomotives were used in underground transport. 1912 was the start of construction of the shaft 3, 1913 in the promotion came, after which the annual production rose to 300,000 tons. The Margarethe mine was shut down on June 15, 1926.
