As Hambacher forest (also Hambacher forest) today is still a 200-acre forest in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) between Cologne and Aachen referred. The largest part of the forest area, which had to give way to the open pit Hambach, was called Bürgewald or The Guarantor.

He is considered a symbol of the resistance of the anti-coal power movement against the destruction of the environment and climate damage by the coal industry, as well as the upcoming coal exit as part of the energy transition.
