The Werthsbank colliery is a former hard coal mine in Heisingen , a district of Essen since 1929 . The mine was also known as the Werthbrügsgen colliery .
Mining history
As early as the 18th century, hard coal was mined in the field that would later become the colliery . On July 22 of 1773 gave the abbot of becoming the concession to the trades of the union dog cam. The trades from Hundsnocken wanted the old Werthsbank, this is the Mausegatt seam , to first drain it via an inheritance tunnel and then mine it. The mine went into operation that same year. In 1793 it was merged with the Sutansbank colliery to form Sutansbank & Werthsbank. On March 28, 1799, a new license for the Werthbank was awarded. In 1803 the Sutansbank & Werthbank colliery was separated again. The Werthsbank colliery then went back into operation independently. From 1805 to 1812, daily operation 1 was dismantled. In 1813, a tonnel blind shaft in the substation was dismantled. After 1813 the mine was not mentioned in the documents for several years. On March 25, 1847, a small square was awarded. From the second quarter of 1854 the mine was back in production. From the fourth quarter of 1856 the mine was named Zeche Vereinigte Werthsbank . The colliery Werth Bank was also under the name colliery value Bank , colliery workbench and mine Werth bank known. Other, not mentioned, mines were added to the United Werthsbank colliery. The mine was in operation in 1857 and 1858. From the second quarter of 1859 the mine was taken out of service. In 1899, the United Werthsbank colliery was added to the Rheinische Anthracit coal works.
