Ferropolis - the Iron City. Former open-cast mining, today a museum and festival area.

Five disused bucket wheel excavators and continuous bucket dredgers as well as stackers, each up to 130 meters long and 30 meters high, are located on a peninsula in the lake Gremmin: in a whole 7000 tonnes of industrial history.

Once, here was the central office of the brown coal open mine Golpa-Nord, which was flooded in the meantime. Until 1991 brown coal had been extracted around the peninsula. Then the open mines’ giant equipment – monuments of the machine age- should have been scrapped.

FERROPOLIS is a living museum abuzz with fitting scenery for concerts and events.
