Guess: 1834
Ascension: 1856
Decommissioned: 1893

A discovery of coal under the rootstock of a cleared beech tree (approx. 1 km north-east of the current tunnel mouth) prompted the Bochum merchant Georg Kramer to apply to the Royal Prussian Mining Authority for a prospecting of the exposed hard coal seam in March 1834. A gorse bush blooming near where it was found gave the colliery the name "Pentecost flower" (in the 19th century, gorse was popularly known as Pentecost flower). At the same time, the brothers Georg and Heinrich Haarmann reported the finds in Ludwig and Neuftund.

At the instigation of the mining authority, the mines were registered under the name "United Whitsunflower".

Findings in the neighborhood - a new coincidence - resulted in long-term legal disputes. However, the claims of the field neighbor were rejected as unfounded.
The mining permit was granted to the "Vereinigte Pfingstblume" coal mine with the award certificate dated October 22, 1850 by the Royal Oberbergamt in Dortmund.

In 1864, 18 miners mined 13 tons of hard coal every day. The transport took place with
Ruhr ships.
