The United Prussian Adler colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Byfang - Burgaltendorf . The mine was the result of a consolidation of previously independent mines.
Mining history
Little is reported about the two predecessor mines. The Prussian Adler colliery was mentioned in the documents as early as 1765. The mine was also known under the names Zeche Preußisch Adler and Zeche Preußischer Adler . At times the mine was also called Geitling colliery. A secure operation of this mine is known from the year 1769. On April 4, 1833 was Langenfeld for the reduction in seam Geitling awarded . Also for the second predecessor mine , the Zeche Wasser- & Nebenbank , the award of a length field for the mining in Flöz Geitling is mentioned for April 4, 1833. The mine went into operation in September of the same year, and extraction began in October . In 1834, the two mines consolidated into the United Prussian Adler colliery. After the consolidation, the new mine went into operation. On January 18, 1838, a length field was awarded. In 1840 the Altendorfer Erbstollen and the Himmelsfürster Erbstollen were mined on the sole of the Erbstollen . In 1842, the mine through the sky Fürster Erbstollen was, however, only four Lachter deeper solved . On February 8, 1855, the United Prussian Adler colliery consolidated with other mines below the Himmelsfürster Erbstollen sole to form the Altendorf Tiefbau colliery . The mine remained in operation for several years. In 1878 the United Prussian Eagle colliery was shut down. In 1921 the right was taken over by the United Mülheimerglück colliery .
