The Transformation
The transformation of the former Großkamsdorf open-cast mine in Thuringia is a remarkable example of how industrial sites can be repurposed for the benefit of the environment and the community. With a significant investment of €1.44 billion, the region is undergoing a renaturation process to address the environmental impacts of the mining activities during the GDR era. This initiative not only revitalizes the landscape but also provides new opportunities for structural development and job security in the area.
