Tips from the Community

May 31, 2025, Dorf Scheibe Memorial

The Scheibe open-cast mine, or Šibojska jama in Upper Sorbian, was a lignite open-cast mine that operated from 1985 to 1996 east of Hoyerswerda in the Lusatian lignite mining area. In 1986/1987, the town of Scheibe, which gave it its name, and the developments of the town of Burg, located to the north, had to make way for it. After mining operations ceased, Lake Scheibe emerged as a post-mining landscape. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagebau_Scheibe

Such memories are incredibly important for future generations. Memories of villages that fell victim to coal excavators.
