The Vollmond colliery was a hard coal mine in what is now Bochum's districts of Langendreer and Werne .
history
Already in the 18th century in the mining area of coal mine mining operated since at least the southern part of the field the seams by Erbstollen were to open up. Around 1800 the mine was owned by the later Prefect of the Ruhr Department Gisbert von Romberg .
In 1801 the first steam-driven dewatering machine from the Ruhr mining industry was used here. Built in 1792 in Tarnowitz and originally intended for the Charlotte mine in Überruhr , the carpenter and later industrial pioneer Franz Dinnendahl (1775–1826) made it work.
The first shaft was meters deep 1808 46 drilled . Victoria shaft was one of the first Seiger shafts on the Ruhr . Other shafts were the Gisbert and Caroline shafts (both from 1861) as well as several weather shafts. In the same year, a railway connection to the Langendreer Südseite station of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) was built. A firedamp explosion with three deaths caused the construction of a new weather shaft in 1863 .
In 1907, when 1,260 miners were employed at the Vollmond colliery, they achieved the highest annual output with around 290,000 tons of hard coal. In 1926 the mine was merged with the Heinrich Gustav colliery and mining was subsequently discontinued. The shafts were used for weather control until 1959 .
Today the site of the colliery in Langendreer is used as an industrial area. A machine hall is still preserved from the historic colliery buildings. The full moon road that runs along the site is reminiscent of the name of the mine .
