About "lignite mining in Germany"

by Bopper Balten

About the artwork

The area of the excavation is 110 km2, which is comparable to 14,600 football fields.

How is lignite mined today? To do this, a huge pit is dug. One side is called the "Abbau" and on the other side the overburden rock is backfilled. This is the "Verkippung". Finally, at the bottom, in a relatively small area, the lower "Sohle" extracts the coal. Thus, the whole thing "walks" through the landscape.

All work is done with so-called "Grossgeräte". At the "Abbau" are the diggers or "Bagger". The excavated overburden material the "Abraum" is returned to the other side of the quarry by spreaders or "Absetzers". The largest digger in the world is the B 288 and it works in Garzweiler.
