    In 1877, well-builder August Boock and clay pit owner Franz Landsberg discovered a lignite deposit with a total seam thickness of 10 m by drilling. Both gentlemen founded the “Consolidierte Centrum” mine in Schenkendorf and began to mine the coal from the ice chutes in the opencast mine.
    Ultimately, however, the difficult hydrological conditions stopped mining in Schenkendorf in 1899. A total of more than 1.2 million t of lignite had been extracted.
    The effects shape the place to this day, visible through the mine houses and the flooded open-cast mine "Bruch".

    It's hard to believe, but here you have a former lignite mine (pit "Consolidated Centrum") in front of you, in which a total of 1.2 million tons of lignite were mined from 1877 to 1899.
