Geography

History

The place Süpplingen was first mentioned in 888 as a sophingi in an exchange certificate. Near Süpplingen is Süpplingenburg, which emerged from a medieval castle complex.

In the second half of the 19th century Century, industrialization began in the area around Süpplingen. The focus was on sugar processing and brown coal mining, whose roots date back to about 1770, when coal was extracted in opencast mining.

From 1885 to 1888, the 54-meter-deep northern shaft was sunk in the Süpplingen district, which belonged to the Prinz Wilhelm shaft in Wolsdorf, which had existed since 1821. From 1890, a cable car connected the Nordschacht with the NorddeutscheZuckerraffinerie Frellstedt, the main buyer of the coal extracted there. In 1921, the northern shaft was abandoned again after drainage failed due to machine damage as early as 1917 and the shaft smudged.[2]
