Between industrial culture and music festivals, the city impresses above all with its bucket wheel excavators for lignite mining
Ferropolis, also known as the "City of Iron", is an open-air museum and event venue on a peninsula in Lake Gremmin. Huge lignite excavators and industrial facilities are a reminder of the region's mining history and provide a unique backdrop for concerts and festivals.
The sculpture meadow is an open art area where works by various artists are presented in the open air. The often large-scale installations combine with nature and invite visitors to discover and linger.
The former Zschornewitz power plant was once one of the largest lignite-fired power plants in Europe. Today, the monumental industrial architecture can be visited, as can the listed factory housing estate, which provides an insight into the lives of workers in the early 20th century.
