The United Neu-Herzkamp colliery in the Herzkamp-Schee district of Sprockhövel is a former mine . In addition to hard coal , iron stone was also extracted from the mine . The mining of the ore was of economic importance for the area around Gennebreck - Haßlinghausen . The coal iron stone extracted was smelted into iron in the Haßlinghauser Hütte.
history
The first years
In the years 1851 and 1852 the iron ore fields Herzkamp I, Herzkamp II and the fields Herzkamp VX were awarded . The Eisensteinzeche Neu-Herzkamp was founded on October 2nd, 1855. At the same time as the foundation, the Eisenerzfelder Herzkamp I, II, VX were taken over and consolidated . From the year 1860 the mining of iron stone began. In 1876 a shaft from the Stöckerdreckbank colliery was taken over. The shaft was 171 meters deep . Only Eisenstein was mined that year. The Neuflöz seam was mined. Since the thickness of the seam varied greatly between one meter and 8.5 centimeters, one was forced several Untersuchungsaufhauen to explore the deposit to create. The extraction took place via the Söhngen shaft of the Sieper & Mühler Gruben colliery . The bay was a crosscut geteuft that the south and the north wing of the heart dump Kämper bound them together. For this reason, the shaft was also very important for the ventilation of the mine.
The further operation until the shutdown
In 1905 the mine was put back into operation. A lease agreement was signed with the Germany mine . Based on the contract, the United Neu-Herzkamp colliery took over the construction site around the Hövel mine and the Heinrich mine in Germany. Both shafts and the construction field were required for the mining of coal iron stone. The weather bed was at a depth of 198 meters, the underground floor was 285 meters. The pit water was drained off via the tunnel of the Stöckerdrecksbank colliery. In that year, the mining of iron rock began again. The mining of hard coal took place for personal use. In 1906, the Söhnchen shaft, also known as the Söhngen shaft, began to be sunk . The starting point for this shaft was east of the Felderbach and south of today's Elberfelderstrasse. The shaft reached a deeper depth of 60 meters. From 1911, iron stone mining in the area of Gennebeck came to a standstill. On July 1, 1911, the lease agreement with the Zeche Deutschland was terminated. The Hövel shaft and the construction site were returned to the Germany mine. Subsequently, the United Neu-Herzkamp colliery was shut down.
Promotion and workforce
The first production and workforce figures for the mine date back to 1905. In that year, 40 miners extracted 1622 tons of hard coal and 1998 tons of iron ore. In 1907, the maximum hard coal production was achieved, it was 15,332 tons of hard coal. In addition, 2398 tons of iron stone were mined this year. The workforce was 70 this year. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1910, in that year 72 miners were employed at the mine, who produced 14,872 tons of hard coal and 2,822 tons of coal iron.
Current condition
Only a few buildings of the United Neu-Herzkamp colliery have survived today. There are still the former colliery building in Hiddinghausen in Talstrasse, the colliery building in Gennebeck in Schachtweg and the former shaft building of the Söhngen shaft in Gennebreck in Elberfelderstrasse. The building of Schacht Söhngen is part of the Herzkämper-Mulde-Weg of the AK Sprockhövel.
