It is a gravel washing and coal charging system and belonged to the former Röcken opencast mine (1920-1929). This was reforested and this relic serves as a technical monument.

The guesswork has been solved... Komootler Denis M. described it well. A problem in the "Gustav Adolf" opencast mine inevitably caused the mine to be closed. That is the reason why the coal loading plant can be seen as a construction tool.

I think that could be the gravel washing and loading system of Werschen-Weissenfelser lignite Ltd. This is mentioned in Wikipedia for the railway line Leipzig-Plagwitz-Pörsten.
