The United Nachtigall & Neuglück colliery was a hard coal mine in the Sprockhövel district of Hiddinghausen-Rennebaum. The colliery was also known as the United Neuglück & Nachtigall colliery . The mine emerged from the consolidation of two previously independent mines. In the second half of the 19th century, both coal and iron stone were mined at the United Nachtigall & Neuglück colliery .
Mining history
In the period from August 20, 1853 to May 3, 1855, the Neuglück colliery consolidated with part of the Nachtigall colliery below the bottom of the Dreckbänker Erbstollen to form the United Nachtigall & Neuglück colliery. The Vincke shaft was in operation for extraction ; this shaft had a shallow depth of 197 meters. From 1859 United Nightingale & Neuglück field Neudachs & Greve hole was that of the coal mine coal mine roof & Grevelsloch mined . The dismantling took place for Dachs & Grevelsloch colliery, the costs were offset. In 1860 the mine was initially still in operation, in the course of the mine was in deadlines set. The mine was put back into operation around 1865. The pit field was loosened by the dirt bank Erbstollen , and ventilation also took place via the Erbstollen . The Berechtsame included at this time, a length field . In 1867 coal iron stone was also mined. In 1870 the mine was still operating independently. On November 21, 1871, the United Nachtigall & Neuglück colliery consolidated below the bottom of the Erbstollen to form the Germany colliery . In 1876 the Aurora and Vincke shafts were mentioned in the documents. From the year 1880 the mine was demonstrably in operation. In 1887 the coal reserves above the bottom of the Dreckbänker Erbstollen were almost depleted. In 1888 the United Nachtigall & Neuglück colliery was closed. In the following year the remaining beneficiaries were assigned to the Germany mine.
