The United Stöckgesbank & Dodelle colliery is a former hard coal mine in Essen-Werden- Fischlaken. The mine was created through the consolidation of the United Stöckgesbank , Dodelle and Leanderbank collieries . The mine was part of the Werden mining district .

history

The predecessor mines

United Stöckgesbank

The mine was also known as the Zeche Stöckgensbank or Zeche Stöcksgesbank . The mine was in Fischlaken west of the Harnscheidter Höfe. In 1788, the abbot of Werden gave it a loan , after which the colliery went into operation. In 1855 the new foundation took place, a tunnel was driven southwards. The tunnel mouth hole was located on the Ruhr at a height of 50 meters above sea ​​level . In 1858 the right to inherit the tunnel was granted . In 1860, who was dismantling the Berechtsame already 860 meters from Stollenmundloch removed. A barrel-length shaft was sunk . The shaft was sunk from the bottom of the tunnel and served to develop the deeper seams by means of substations . After the mine workings were opened, they were also used by the United Lamarche ironstone mine for the mining of coal iron . The first production figures for the mine come from the year 1861, 1,462 tons of Prussian coal were extracted with two miners . In 1865, the United Stöckgesbank colliery was in a dispute with the Dodelle colliery over a production tunnel on the Ruhr. In the years 1866 and 1867 the mine was preserved in time . The last figures are known from 1868, 30 tons of hard coal were mined. In the same year, it was consolidated into Stöckgesbank & Dodelle colliery.

Dodels

The Dodelle colliery was located in Fischlaken west of the Harnscheidter Höfe. On November 18, 1780, the abbot of Werden was given the loan, after which the colliery went into operation. In 1799 the loan was renewed. The first production figures for the mine date back to 1802, 70 ringlets were extracted every day. In 1804 an air shaft was sunk. The Dodeller tunnel was excavated in 1805 and mining began in 1808. In 1811 the excavation took place at shaft 2. In 1815 the Lazarus shaft was in operation. From 1816 the mine was out of service and in 1821 it was shut down. The mine was put back into operation around 1839, but shortly thereafter it was received again within time limits. In 1842 it was reopened and later the mine was received again within time limits. On March 1, 1861, it was put back into operation from the heritage gallery of the United Stöckgesbank colliery. About 190 Lachter south of Stollenmundloch there was a excavation in the seam in a southeasterly direction. With eight miners, 2,462 Prussian tons of hard coal were mined. In 1865, the mine operators could not agree with the Stöckgesbank trades about shared use of the Stöckgesbank day railway. In the same year its own conveyor line to the Ruhr was laid, in the same year the Dodelle colliery was in a dispute with the United Stöckgesbank colliery because of a mining tunnel on the Ruhr. Received again in 1866 within time limits. The last figures are known from the year 1867, 245 tons of hard coal were extracted with 11 miners. In 1868 it was consolidated into the United Stöckgesbank & Dodelle colliery.

Leanderbank

The Leanderbank colliery was also known as the Leander colliery. Very little is known about the mine. On February 27, 1783 the award was made by the Abbot of Werden. Tunnel construction was carried out on the mine . On August 30, 1868, the consolidation with the United Stöckgesbank colliery and the Dodelle colliery took place.

United Stöckgesbank & Dodelle

After the consolidation of the three mines, work was carried out in the tunnel to the south. In 1878 the coal reserves above the bottom of the tunnel were depleted and operations were stopped. In 1879 the mine was given a deadline and the following year the rights were auctioned. In 1881 the mine was put into operation again. In 1882, a ton- long shaft was sunk for the transition to civil engineering ; the shaft reached a shallow depth of 205 meters. After there was no coal production in 1886, the United Stöckgesbank & Dodelle colliery was shut down in 1891. In 1897 the right was acquired by the United Pörtingsiepen colliery .

Promotion and workforce

The first production figures for the mine are from 1869, one year after consolidation. With 16 miners 3,011 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1870, 25 miners extracted 4,686 tons of hard coal. In 1873 production increased to 6,783 tons, this production was provided by 43 miners. In 1876 the production sank to 1,094 tons, this production was done with six miners. In 1881, 14 miners extracted 1,348 tons of hard coal. In 1883, production increased slightly to 1,835 tons, this production was provided by 20 miners. In 1885 production decreased slightly to 1,400 tons, 14 miners were employed. In 1886 two miners were still employed at the colliery, there was no coal production. These are the last known production and workforce figures for the mine.

Todays situation

The damming of the Baldeneysee would result in a tunnel opening and the conveyor systems of the Dodelle colliery within the lake. A tunnel opening and the conveyor systems of the Stöckesbank colliery would be located directly on the bank. Originally, the facilities were about 200 meters from the banks of the Ruhr.
