Robert Müser-kolenmijn en het "echte mijnwater

The coal mine Robert Müser was a coal mine in Bochum district Werne.
The colliery was built in the 1920s as a composite mine from several older, until then independently operated collieries of Harpener Bergbau AG:
Collier Heinrich Gustav
Colliery Caroline
Coal full moon
Colliery Amalia
Coal Prince of Prussia
In 1955, the acquisition of the mine Neu-Iserlohn and the mine Siebenplaneten.
The coal mine got its name on 1 July 1929 by renaming the colliery Heinrich-Gustav (including full moon and Amalia) after the long-standing chairman of the board / supervisory board Robert Müser. At the same time, the plants Caroline and Prince of Prussia were taken over at this time.
Southwest of the 1859 drilled bay Arnold (Teufe: 760 m) as a central production shaft and the already sunk in 1856 manhole Jacob was a Übertageanlage with colliery, coal washing, coking plant with ammonia production and a 126,000 m³ gasometer. The production of coke was started in 1861, from 1863 Harpener Bergbau AG built the first own miners' houses in Werne. Between 1926 and 1928, a 20-MW power plant was built. In 1938, the output was 1.5 million tons of coal, in 1966, with approx. 4000 employees produced 1.37 million tons of coal and produced 874,000 tons of coke.
The decommissioning of the mine took place on March 31, 1968, inter alia, at the request of the city Bochum, which wanted to set up a security pillar to protect the Opel plant II / III from damage caused by the mountains. All shafts (except for the shaft Arnold and the weather shaft Gustav) were filled in the following years. The shaft Arnold is used by the German hard coal AG for the drainage. Here mine water is raised, so that the mines of the distant mines, in which coal is still mined today, do not run unchecked. Part of it is used for heat production.
The outlet of the pumped water takes place a few hundred meters north of the shaft into the Werner ponds of the Oelbach. The minerals dissolved in the mine water form visible gray-white deposits. Anyone who takes a deep breath here immediately noses the nose. The non-toxic sulphurous water stinks of rotten eggs. The mine water dilutes here in the ponds and then flows into the Ruhr.

Het hoofdframe van Schacht Arnold is gemakkelijk te bereiken vanaf de brandweerkazerne.
De bakstenen toren van de Gustav-weerschacht kan slechts in beperkte mate worden bekeken vanuit de Von-Waldhausen-Straße omdat deze zich in een klein industriegebied bevindt en is omgebouwd.
