The above-day expansion of the shaft did not take place until 1949, when the shaft received a double-headed headframe. A breakthrough to the Ewald 3/4 mine followed. In 1969 the mine became the RAG Aktiongesellschaft and united with the Recklinghausen colliery. A mine gas extraction system was operated on shaft system 3/4
On October 20, 1877, the shaft reached the hard rock layer of the transitional terrain, without having encountered the second layer of coal, which was considered a bad sign by the engineers.
