    From April 16, 1946 to December 13, 2000, 318,200,000 t of coal and 725,100,000 m³ of overburden were mined in the Berzdorf open-cast mine. The share of the excavator 1452 is 68,800,000 tons of coal and 59,415,632 m³ of overburden.

    For 5 € (children from 6 to 14 years 2.50 €) you can explore the excavator on your own. You get a helmet that has served us all well, as we hit our heads at some point. For a surcharge of € 2 or € 1, there is an expert tour of the excavator (pre-registration under: 035 822 37708).

    Opening times from May to October:

    Tuesday and Thursday 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

    Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

    and by appointment


    Absolutely recommended for technology fans.
