The United Wülfingsburg colliery is a former hard coal mine in Wetter-Grundschöttel . The mine emerged from the consolidation of several previously independent beneficiaries .
Mining history
On February 18, 1837, the Wülfingsburg colliery consolidated the Wülfingsburg fields, further away Maaßen and Glücksburg. The Glücksburg field was awarded as a quarter field on the same day . At the time of consolidation, the mine had three shafts . These were the Adolphine shaft, the Maria shaft and the Sylvia shaft. The Sylvia shaft was the main shaft, it was equipped with a steam hoist. Since the mine field was sufficiently aligned, there was initially no further alignment of the mine field since 1839. The expansion of the area around the Silvia shaft and the basic section was also discontinued. In 1840 the Sylvia shaft and the Maria shaft were in operation. The in Abbauörtern 1 3/4 and no. 2 south degraded coals were analyzed by tram with a capacity of two bushels to the shaft supported . There the cars were struck and after about day promoted . In 1844 the mine wanted to start civil engineering together with the Trappe colliery . For this purpose, the United Wülfingsburg trades took over 1/5 of the costs that were required to sink the Voerster shaft and the subsequent alignment of the mine field. The following year Schacht Sylvia was in promotion . In 1847 the Glücksburg field was dissolved by the Blumenthaler Erbstollen . In 1850 the Adolphine shaft and the Sylvia shaft were in operation. On December 30, 1853, the United Wülfingsburg colliery consolidated into the United Trappe colliery . However, this consolidation was backdated to the year 1844, when the joint transition to civil engineering with the Trappe colliery took place.
Promotion and workforce
The first known production figures of the mine come from the year 1837, in that year a production of 9597 ⅜ Prussian tons of hard coal was provided. The first known workforce at the mine dates back to 1838, in that year there were 23 employees at the mine who produced 3,147 tonnes of hard coal. In 1840 3536 tons of hard coal were extracted. The maximum production of the mine was achieved in 1845, in that year almost 6300 tons of hard coal were produced. The workforce this year was 44 to 54 employees. In 1847, between 30 and 50 people were still employed at the mine; 5377 tons of hard coal were extracted. These are the last known production and workforce figures for the mine.
