The United Siegfried Colliery is a former hard coal mine in Annen - Wullen . The mine was also known as Zeche Vereinigte Siegfried No. I and No. II . The mine emerged from the consolidation of several mine fields and was only in operation for 16 years during the more than 60 years of mining history. The mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the jury area Ostlich Witten .
Mining history
In 1835 the muted fields Siegfried, Friedrich Wilhelm and Wittich consolidated into the United Siegfried colliery. On July 13th of the same year the Geviertfeld Siegfried No. I and No. II were awarded . The mine started operating in 1850. An old tunnel , which was located in the Steinbachtal, was cleared and further opened . In the mining area located seams all had a small thickness . There was a seam with a thickness of 28 inches in Verhieb taken. The coal mined was suitable for lime and brick burning and was sold to the respective distilleries. In 1852 a colliery building was built on the corner of Siegfriedstrasse and Ardeystrasse . The following year began, a seigeren machine shaft to sink . In 1854 the machine shaft was sunk to a depth of 16½ Lachter and hit the tunnel there. The machine shaft went into operation in the same year. In 1855 a steam winding machine was put into operation. In 1858 mining continued . From the second quarter of 1861 the mine was taken out of service and started up again from the second quarter of 1870. At this point in time, a three-seater deep shaft equipped with a hand reel was being extracted . From May 1875 the mine was out of operation again. According to a consolidation agreement from 1889, the mine was added to the United Hamburg & Franziska colliery in 1897. From 1957 the mine field of the United Siegfried colliery was worked on by the Siegfried colliery .
