The enfeoffed coal bank was registered under the name Wittwe. In 1739 the mine was already in operation, but the operation of the mine resulted in very high costs. In 1750 the mine was in operation. In the years 1754 and 1755 the mine was on time because there was no gallery . In 1756 the mine was put back into operation. In the year 1768 the tunnel was meanwhile available.
