Archival history

The mining company Hibernia is based on two companies: the trade union Hibernia, founded in 1854 by William Thomas Mulvany, and the fiscal mining company Bergwerks-AG Recklinghausen. Like the representative of the trade union, Thomas Mulvany, most of the other trades come from Ireland. In 1857 they founded the Shamrock trade union, which was also represented by Thomas Mulvany. On 6 March 1873, both unions were incorporated into the newly founded Hibernia and Shamrock Mining Company, and Thomas Mulvany took over as Chairman of the Supervisory Board until his death in 1885. On 25 November 1887, the company, which had acquired the Wilhelmine Victoria union founded in 1857 one year earlier, was renamed Hibernia Mining Company. In 1893 it was the third largest company in the Ruhr area after Harpener Bergbau-AG and Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG (GBAG).1898 saw the purchase of the Schlägel colliery.
