Lauchhammer

Lauchhammer occupies a former lignite-mining landscape on the Schwarze Elster in southern Brandenburg, within Germany’s Lower Lusatia. The town is closely identified with industry: iron casting has been practiced here since the 18th century, and the Lauchhammer art-casting tradition produced monuments and sculptures distributed far beyond the region. Its preserved Biotürme, concrete biological-treatment towers from the former coking works, are an industrial monument and a direct reminder of the energy economy that shaped the area. Forest, water and reclaimed mining land now sit alongside working-town districts. Move on to other webcams in Brandenburg to compare landscapes and settings around Lower Lusatia.
