Former hard coal outer shaft in Heusweiler-Lummerschied, originally sunk 1937–39, enlarged and deepened in 1986 to 740 metres, with a concrete Förderturm housing the transferred winding machine of Schacht Frieda (Grube Maybach), not listed.
Schacht Lummerschied was the outer northern shaft of the Grube Göttelborn, sunk from 1937 and located in the Ortsteil Lummerschied of Heusweiler, approximately two kilometres north-east of the main Göttelborn surface complex. The shaft served as an auxiliary access point to the northernmost section of the Göttelborn Grubenfeld. In 1986 it was substantially enlarged and deepened: the diameter was increased by 3.2 metres and the depth extended by 370 metres to a final depth of approximately 740 metres.
At the same time the shaft was converted to an ausziehender Wetterschacht function and equipped with a new concrete Förderturm in Betonbauweise erected in 1982. The winding machine mounted at the top of the Förderturm was transferred from Schacht Frieda of the Grube Maybach. The Grube Göttelborn was closed on 1 September 2000 following the collapse of the Verbundbergwerk Göttelborn-Reden modernisation programme.
The Saarland Landesdenkmalamt survey of 2011 notes the Förderturm in Betonbauweise and records that it was not entered in the Denkmalliste.
The origins of Schacht Lummerschied lie in the 1930s expansion of the Grube Göttelborn northward. The main Göttelborn mine had been founded in 1887 and in the following decades progressively developed its Grubenfeld both to the south and north. By the mid-1930s, under German state administration restored in 1935, major extension works were planned; in 1937 the construction of Schacht Lummerschied as a new outer shaft was begun in the Lummerschied Ortsteil of Heusweiler. The name refers to the location in the valley of the Lummerschied stream. Sinking was completed by approximately 1939.
The Grube Göttelborn prospered in the post-war decades. During the 1960s and 1970s it rose to become one of the most productive mines in Europe: underground output per man-shift reached 6,034 kg in 1972, making it comparable to the best-performing Ruhr mines of that period. To accommodate the northward advance of the extraction faces, the original Schacht Lummerschied was substantially rebuilt in 1986. The shaft diameter was enlarged by 3.2 metres and the depth increased by 370 metres to approximately 740 metres. The shaft was redesignated as an ausziehender Wetterschacht for the northern Baufeld and equipped with a modern Betonförderturm erected from 1982; the winding machine from Schacht Frieda of the Grube Maybach was transferred and installed at the head of the Förderturm.
In 1988 the Saarbergwerke AG board adopted the Drei-Gruben-Konzept, envisaging the merger of the Gruben Ensdorf, Reden/Göttelborn, and Warndt/Luisenthal. The cornerstone of this plan was the construction of the massive Fördergerüst Göttelborn IV, a 90-metre steel structure whose foundations were laid in January 1990 and which was completed in 1994 at a cost of approximately 200 million euros. In 1989 the Verbundbergwerk Göttelborn-Reden was constituted; at its height it comprised the Gruben Göttelborn, Landsweiler-Reden, Fischbach-Camphausen, Heusweiler-Holz, Heusweiler-Lummerschied, Quierschied, and Maybach, with 220 million tonnes of bauwürdige Vorräte and 137 kilometres of underground roadways. In November 1997 the plan to make Göttelborn/Reden into the most productive mine complex in Europe was abandoned following falling coal subsidies. On 1 September 2000 the Grube Göttelborn, including Schacht Lummerschied, was closed. The Saarland Landesdenkmalamt survey of 2011 recorded the Schacht Lummerschied Betonförderturm as a structure of the site but noted that it was not in the Denkmalliste.
