At the same time, the shaft is the only material witness of lignite mining in Leipzig to fix the beginning of industrial coal mining in the city. After test drilling in 1894, the first sod was cut in 1895 by the company "Wilhelm Schurath". It was not until 1903 that the production shaft was sunk to 73 m and the first coal was mined. The coal, which was initially mined with the tunneling system, was primarily needed for its own use for operating the conveyor system and for pumping water. After the brown coal company had been converted in 1902 into the "union Leipzig-Dölitzer coalworks", the reconstruction work began in preparation for the scheduled mining in abutment quarry. Until 1905, the wooden scaffolding was replaced by a new plant. ... The demolition of the terrain from 1905 onwards was up to 6.5 m and led to noticeable changes in the landscape in the area. If the level dropped below the groundwater level, swampy areas and ponds formed. Over the break fields, which had developed after maximally ten years, allotment garden clubs were put on later in different places. ... To improve the brick building of the chess house was increased. The conveyor scaffold was given the final height of 30.35 m.

After 1945 the shaft was under the supervision of the Soviet military administration. Then he went into public ownership. Although 300 miners were now producing 150,000 t annually, the last regular production shift was run on June 13, 1959 due to unprofitability. Remaining dismantling took place until 1961.
