The remaining holes 1a and 1b of the Merseburg Ost opencast mine were acquired in 2003 by the then special-purpose association Saale-Elster-Luppe-Aue, with the support of the municipality of Schkopau. The two remaining holes were flooded from 1998 to 2000 by pipelines from the White Elster. The resulting lakes were given the names Wallendorfer See and Raßnitzer See in 2002.
