    The Heide briquette factory was assigned to the “VEB BKK Glückauf Knappenrode” in 1968. At the end of 1992, the Heide briquette factory was shut down. In 1994–1995 the briquette factory and the power plant were blown up. As a result of the cessation of mining operations, the number of inhabitants fell as many mining families moved away from Heide. Unfortunately, you can see it in the village because many of the houses are abandoned and in disrepair.
    I worked at BKK Glückauf Knappenrode from 1982 to 1990 and then went into renovation. That's why I was interested in what has happened here in the meantime.
