The United Wildenberg & Vogelbruch colliery is a former hard coal mine in Hattingen in the Oberstüter district . The mine was also known under the names Zeche Vereinigte Vogelbruch & Wildenberg and Zeche Vereinigte Vogelbruch . It emerged from the consolidation of two previously independent mines, the Wildenberg colliery and the Vogelbruch colliery . The mine was one of 19 mines in the Sprockhövel district; it was located near the Paasbach.

history

The beginnings

In the period from February 18, 1814 to March 17, 1816, the Wildenberg colliery consolidated with parts of the Vogelbruch colliery to form the United Wildenberg & Vogelbruch colliery. On both mines was since the 18th century in the day near the coal industry mined . In December 1816 the mine was put back into operation. The trade union includes the trades Peter Wirminghaus and Peter Paas. A tunnel was started to be excavated. The rose of the tunnel was relocated to the Paasbach in order to drain the water from the tunnel over the Paasbach. The water bank and main seam were mined in the seams. In 1820 the Heinrich shaft and the Wilhelm shaft were in operation. In 1825 the August shaft and the Heinrich shaft were in operation. In 1830 was only bay in August promotion . In 1832 the Wildenberg field was mined .

Operation of the mine until decommissioning

In 1833 the tradesmen complained to the mining authorities that they always had to pay additional fines due to the low proceeds . The reason for the low proceeds was that the mining authority also set the sales prices for the coal produced by the mine. The mine has now been laid in time limits . In 1835 the Ernst tunnel was mined. In 1840 the Ida shaft was in operation. In 1842 the Gustav and Laura shafts were in production. In 1844 two length fields were measured . From 1845 to 1847 the Gustav shaft was in production. The United Wildenberg & Vogelbruch colliery was shut down around 1867. At this time the tunnel was 1,200 meters ascended . In October 1880, the company was consolidated into the Sprockhövel colliery . In 1912 the rightful owner fell to the Alte Haase colliery .

Promotion and workforce

The first production figures come from the year 1830, a production of 2078 tons of hard coal was provided. In 1835 the production sank to only 84 tons of hard coal. In 1840 the production was 1527 tons of hard coal. In 1842, 7854 Prussian tons of hard coal were extracted. The last known figures for the mine are from 1845, with 15 miners 1450 tons of hard coal were extracted.
