CLOSE TO THE EDGE

            Braunkohletagebau Hambach, Opencast lignite mine Hambach, Elsdorf 04/2021

In 1978, work began on opening up the Hambach open-cast lignite mine in the Lower Rhenish Bay near Cologne. Since then, the "biggest hole in Europe" has been created between Bergheim and Jülich: over an area of 85 square kilometres, the excavators advance to depths of over 450 metres to extract the coal. By the end of 2015, 5,940 hectares of landscape had already been destroyed.

Im Jahre 1978 wurde mit dem Aufschluss des Braunkohlentagebaus Hambach in der Niederrheinischen Bucht bei Köln begonnen. Seitdem entsteht zwischen Bergheim und Jülich das “größte Loch Europas”: Auf einer Fläche von 85 Quadratkilometern dringen die Bagger in Tiefen von über 450 Metern vor, um die Kohle zu fördern. Bis Ende 2015 wurden bereits 5.940 Hektar Landschaft zerstört.
