The Central German road of the brown coal is thematic a holidays road, itself with the dismantling of brown coal, which Renaturierungsmassnahmen and the mining industry technology in the Central German brown coal district employ. Along the main and Nebenrouten are out-described so far about 200 objects from the ranges of topics technology, nature and landscape, education, settlement, water as well as recovery.

Background

Excursion: Lignite mining in Central Germany

The earliest well-known promotion took place 1382 in read-chews. In the year 2004 20.3 million tons were promoted.

Central German road of the brown coal

The lignite mining took a centuries-old culture landscape to its in the run over history on the one hand in requirement, contributed on the other hand however straight by its interferences themselves substantially to the culture landscape development. The new landscape of human hand (SOUR 2002) issued with its collapse several hundred special witnesses from the range of the production and processing of the brown coal to future generations. Although in the society a broad consent exists over the obligation for retaining notable historical objects and special witnesses, while handling the inheritances of the mining industry and brown coal industry in the south area Leipzig years loss experiences outweighed at the beginning of the 1990er. The problems of acceptance in relation to the brown coal and energy industry (environmental pollution, Devastierungen), stepped in the course of the turn to day, as well as missing post and use for new purposes concepts led to a rapid outline and/or retreating longwall system of stopped open mining major items of equipment and manufacturing plants. In view of from formerly over 50.000 persons employed in the Central German brown coal industry also job market-political aspects played not a role which can be underestimated with forcing of retreating longwall system and outline, could with the extensive retreating longwall system measures at least a part of the staffs be further employed nevertheless.

Within fewer years the numerous picture of the region determining special witnesses of the work and technique world, often by breakup within seconds, disappeared from the scene. Only in the middle of the 1990er years used, not least also considerably under the 1995 partial outline begun of the monument-protected briquette factory new churches a reorientation of the participants locally. Increasingly the insight gained significance with decision makers and the population that the culture landscape will be understandable Central Germany in its current and later feature only than result of the industriellen of mining industry age. All the more was to be received and regenerated it necessary, still existing certifications of this outgoing epoch equally beside Monumenten of other epochs. This represents at the same time an important contribution for the revival of the regional identity. Beyond that the culture and industrial tourism are for some years a growing market segment. In the tourism sector a strong interest in the development of regional nature and culture area is to be registered inquire-laterally at present in particular if this experienced a very special coinage. Thus also new routistic perspectives for the south area can result from the receipt of the industrialcultural inheritance.

The search for a concept for the switching and argument with mining industry history led 1996 across an establishment of association to the creation of a Central German road of the brown coal, which arranges itself conceptionally in the landscape of the roads routistic over 100 in Germany. Generally Touristi roads are an instrument of the regional promotion of economy development and regional marketing. Over the connection of attractions of a supraregional interesting topic (German clock road, Saxonian silver route, road of the Romanesque, porcelain route etc.) are target groups won and/or bound, which are improved infrastructural extent of utilization and economic infrasrukturelle growth effects in the surface are reached.

The road of the brown coal understands itself primarily as educational provision for native ones and guests in the region and wants to make the structural change unparalleled in Central Europe regarding its and its change depth experiencable [...] (ROOF ASSOCIATION CENTRAL GERMAN ROAD of the BROWN COAL registered association 2004). Main objective of the carrier association is apart from the classification and/or sign-posting of a control system the supply of documentation (publications, maps, Flyer, homepage). The association functions besides as contact stock exchange for tourism associations and travel enterprises. Substantial component for the establishment of the brown coal road was the admission into regional planning. Like that west Saxonia the receipt of suitable mining industry-referred special witnesses and mechanisms as well as their linkage with culture-historical objects of interest is embodied as principle for the development of thematischer tourism offers in the regional plan.

In the process of the road of the brown coal so far approx. 200 special witnesses became within the categories of themes technology/industrial architecture (open mining major items of equipment, power stations, briquette factories, railway facilities, technique artifacts), nature and landscape (geological explanations, didactic exhibitions, protected areas), education (museums, exhibitions, information centers), settlement (archaeological excavation places, revitalisierte municipalities of edge of open mining), spare time, sport and recovery (remainder lakes, water haven offers, umgenutzte industrial buildings) in whole Central Germany and water (shifted river courses, flow buildings, flood protection plants) seizes.

So far it can already first routistic impulses be determined that succeeded with the concept of the road of the brown coal to establish a founded information and educational provision for the past and future development of the Central German brown coal economy from to arise. The Central German brown coal road makes the structure and landscape change experiencable and carries thereby for the image change of the region. The concept profits by it primarily from the commitment of the involved ones, to that more strongly becoming fascination, which technical plants and industrialarchitectural buildings exercise on broad masses of the population, the linkage of education, information and maintenance offers (edutainment: education by entertainment) and the concentration of other existing routistic roads on topics off the industrie and restaurant history. The success of the concept cannot be measured last also to the fact that a suggestion for a Rheini road of the brown coal, compiled in (today) the substantially more meaning Rheini brown coal district, takes up fundamental contents of the concept of the Central German road of the brown coal.

Working group

The development of the Central German road of the brown coal is coordinated by the roof association Central German road of the brown coal registered association.

Process

The road leads by the three Lands of the Federal Republic Saxonia-Anhalt, Saxonia and Thuringia. It begins in the area and/or bitter field, runs over the north area and south area from Leipzig to the Altenburger country and bends then to the west to the section Zeitz, white rock over finally in the hostage valley with close resounds off (Saale) to end.
