The colliery Salzer & Neuack was a coal - mine in Essen West district .
history
In the mine field of this colliery mining was already carried out in the 17th century . In 1623 a Sälzer tunnel was mentioned in Altendorf , which was the most lucrative colliery in this fief field.
In 1735 a new tunnel called Neuaak or Neuack (Aak = Akeldruft ) was driven. In 1766 the Sälzer mine field property was combined in the form of a mining union . 1806 was carried out consolidation of Salzer and Neuaak for trade union United Salzer & Neuack .
The colliery was head of the mine and lord Carl Isaac Arnold Huyssen , who later became councilor of the city of Essen. He left off in 1807 several seigere (= vertical) wells abteufen to the coal reserves at greater depths degradation win to be able.
The colliery was the first in Essen to work in civil engineering . Franz Dinnendahl acted as technical director . He performed at the Ver. Sälzer & Neuack introduced various technical innovations. The first conveyor steam engine in the Ruhr mining industry , the first iron conveyor rope , as well as the first iron pit rails were used on the Arnold , Josina and later Waldthausen shafts . In 1816 the first technical coking plant in the Ruhr area was put into operation with a coke distillery .
In 1843 a machine shaft was sunk on Altendorfer Strasse near the growing Krupp cast steel factory in 1846 . It went into operation in 1846 under the name Huyssen . From 1843 the Amalie connection colliery was built in the Amalie field to the north in Bergeborbeck . Due to the favorable storage conditions, this shaft was continued as an independent colliery in the form of an independent union. The coking plant was converted to beehive ovens in 1851 and to machine ovens in 1867 and expanded.
Between 1863 and 1866, the Schmits mine was sunk next to the Huyssen mine . After its completion, the oldest civil engineering shafts were finally shut down. The Huyssen / Schmits daytime facilities were renewed; Malakov towers were erected over both shafts . From 1870 there was a cooperation agreement with Friedrich Krupp AG to supply the cast steel works with coal and coke .
In 1889 Friedrich Krupp AG acquired the Kuxen majority in the Ver. Sälzer & Neuack . In 1901 the company was completely bought up. Schacht Huyssen received a new headframe the type Klönne . In 1925, the mine produced 650,000 tons of coal with a coke production of 420,000 tons per year. In 1927, the mine ownership was transferred to Friedrich Krupp AG Bergwerke Essen .
Under the direction of this company, the neighboring Ver colliery was dissolved in 1934. Helene and Amalie. While the Helene colliery was continued as an independent conveyor system, the Amalie colliery and Vereinigte Sälzer & Neuack merged to form the Sälzer-Amalie colliery . From then on, the shafts were operated under this name.
Current condition
After the Sälzer-Amalie colliery was closed in 1966, the old Huyssen / Schmits mine was completely cleared. The Essen tax office is now located on the Altendorfer Straße site .
