Highlight • Historical Site
The Hansa colliery was a coal mine in the Huckarde district of Dortmund.
The mine was created on 17 November 1855 by the Dortmunder mining and metallurgical company. After first testing in 1840 began in 1856/1857 with the sinking of the shafts Hansa 1 and Hansa 2. The work was discontinued because of the bankruptcy of the Dortmunder mining and metallurgical AG 1859.
In 1862 the Hansa colliery was sold by bankruptcy to Gustav Arndt, who sold it in 1866 to the Prussian Mining and Steelworks AG (not identical to the Preussag founded in 1923). Under the new owner, the shaft 1 in 1869 on the promotion. After the collapse of the Prussian mine and steelworks AG took over the Hansa mine in 1877 and continued the sinking of the shaft. In 1889, the Gelsenkirchen mine AG acquired the field.
1926, the Hansa colliery also became the property of Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG and was assigned to the Dortmund group, which remained after the spin-off of the mining operations from Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG and the reorganization of Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG in 1933. Since 1928, she formed a unit with the neighboring coking plant Hansa.
On February 3, 1945, the daytime facilities were almost completely destroyed by bombing and funding had to be discontinued. As part of the reorganization of the mining industry by the Allies, the Hansa mine 1953 became the property of Hansa Bergbau AG, which was 50% owned by Dortmunder Bergbau AG. Hansa took over on 1 April 1956 the operation of the mine Westhausen. In 1956, a coalition with the Adolf von Hansemann colliery was established, which remained until the decommissioning of the Adolf Hansemann mine in 1967. During this time, the Hansa colliery was called Hansa Gustav. In 1980, the plant was shut down.
