In 1894, several individual mining companies consolidated their field ownership within the city limits between Bottrop and Gladbeck and founded the union Vereinigte Gladbeck.
This began in 1895 in Rentfort with the sinking of the double shaft facility Thyssen and in 1897 in Bottrop-Eigen with the double shaft facility Professor. Since the union had consolidated the two fields under the name Zeche Vereinigte Gladbeck, the Professor shafts were also assigned the shaft numbering Shaft 3/4. This was maintained throughout the entire lifespan of the mine.
