"The beginnings of the pit 3/4/9 go back to the year 1871. Co-founder of the mine was the Essen merchant Friedrich Grillo (1825-1888), one of the most important pioneers of Ruhr mining with the funding on the shafts 3 and 4 in the year In 1896, these remained the main feeding shafts of "Consol" until 1922 - as the mine is still popularly known - and then the double-stay basement for shaft 9 was built.

The Consolidation 3/4/9 mine was largely spared devastation during the Second World War and achieved its greatest economic importance with the expansion of the main conveyor system Schacht 4 in the late 1950s. The intensive expansion in the postwar period was followed by the termination of the promotion in 1997, a rapid demolition of most surface systems.

However, some operating facilities could be obtained as part of the district program Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck / Schalke-Nord and fed to a new use. These include the steel conveyor tower above shaft 9, today a site of the Foundation Industrial Heritage and History Culture and the - rare in the Ruhr - Concrete conveyor frame over shaft 4 from the year 1958th In the midst of this unique ensemble of industrial monuments modern art installations and new cultural venues, especially for young people : the Consol Children's and Youth Theater in the fan engine house of the shaft 3/4; the self-managed music center in the engine house of Schacht 4, which was rebuilt to a performance venue with 38 rehearsal rooms according to the plans of Bochum's "Tor 5 Architekten"; the Maschinenhalle Nord with art installations of the Gelsenkirchen artist Werner Thiel, who died in 2003, which represents a unique collection of artifacts from the mining industry; the Maschinenhalle Süd with a steam pressure conveyor, which was operationally repaired by the "Mine Consolidation Initiative Group" - it is one of the last to be installed in the Ruhr Area and is also the largest ever built by the former Oberhausener "Gutehoffnungshütte" .

"The so-called coal mine Consolidation 3/4/9 is a mine founded by the industrialist Friedrich Grillo in the district of Gelsenkirchen Feldmark.The mine has been under monument protection since 1987.

The shaft was built 3/4/9 from 1871 with the construction of shaft 3 and was until 1876 as the largest in the Ruhr. Schacht 4 followed from 1893 to 1895 and in 1922 the central conveyor shaft with the number 9 was built, which was designed as a filigree steel truss construction made from riveted profile irons. Of the production shafts, which were built in this construction method, the shaft 9 is one of the last two preserved in North Rhine -Westphalia, since in the future mostly shaft scaffolds made of solid wall profiles were selected as the preferred construction method.

Below the hoistway is the so-called suspended bench, a raised shaft hall from a brick-framed steel frame construction. Another winding tower is located above the shaft and was built in 1958 out of concrete with external sheaves.

Right next to it is the former machine hall, which was converted in 2005 by TOR 5 Architekten into a music rehearsal center. In addition, both the northern and the southern engine house have been adapted for a new use. The southern engine house was built in 1923 to plans by Heinrich Ulrich von Bonin and is characterized by a flat gable roof and a façade made of clinker and concrete, which is divided by pilasters. Today, the building houses the Initiativkreis Mine Consolidation e.V.

The northern engine house from 1937 was built as a simple brick building with a flat roof according to designs by Hans Väth and is used for the presentation of the collection Werner Thiel. Another tower that characterizes the silhouette of the plant is the 40 meter high fan tower of the fan engine house, which was built in 1979 according to plans by WA Gorgen and is the only one of this type in the Ruhrgebiet.

"Already at operating times of the Consoldation colliery recognized the monument value of the conveyor frame on shaft 9 and so was registered in 1987 in the monument list of the city Gelsenkirchen.The associated nacelles were placed under protection in 1992. Thus, the first step to preserve the industrial monument was done With the transfer of the conveyor framework and the nacelles into the ownership of the Foundation for Industrial Heritage and History Culture in 1998, the long-term preservation of the outstanding ensemble "Consolidation Schacht 9" was made possible.

The monument ensemble Bergwerk Consolidation Schacht 9 with the conveyor frame and the associated machine houses was renovated in the years 2002 to 2005 by the Foundation for Industrial Heritage and History Culture and the City of Gelsenkirchen with financial support from the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the German Foundation for Monument Protection.

The 53 meter high conveyor tower over shaft 9 is considered a landmark of the district Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck. The steel truss construction made of riveted profile iron, although it had to cope with high loads, overall looks light and filigree. The struts scaffold, built in 1922, is one of the late preserved objects of this kind. "Source: industriedenkmal-stiftung.de/docs/325682814832_de.php
