Teufelchen New
February 28, 2026, Caminau Castle Ruins

The Caminau castle ruins, with their three round towers, are an artificial ruin built in the 21st century and opened to the public after 2012. They are the highlight of the Caminau biotope network, which was constructed as part of the remediation and recultivation of the former open-cast mining site of the Caminau calamine works.

Anyone entering the former briquette factory will experience 100 years of Lusatian industrial history with all their senses. It is a technical monument and has been open to the public as a museum since 1994. The modern foyer features a bistro and a museum shop. The multimedia permanent exhibition tells the story of the Lusatian mining region for the first time. It ranges in stages from pre-industrialization through the lignite economic boom at the beginning of the 20th century, the role of Lusatia during wartime and times of crisis, as well as its role as an energy center of the GDR, to the development of the Lusatian Lake District and current issues of the energy transition. The focus is on the people and their relationship to work, culture, and the environment. The 30-meter-high Lusatia.Blick offers a magnificent view. The heart of the museum is the historic factory. Sieving, grinding, drying, pressing: On the Factory.Experience.Tour, the briquetting process can be experienced firsthand. Former workers have their say, and the factory siren sounds three times a day to call for the acoustic shift. Outside, other buildings from the former operational infrastructure provide a glimpse into the complex operational processes: large-scale open-cast mining equipment, drainage technology, and rail-bound vehicles that were once in daily use.

The Scheibe open-cast mine, or Šibojska jama in Upper Sorbian, was a lignite open-cast mine that operated from 1985 to 1996 east of Hoyerswerda in the Lusatian lignite mining area. In 1986/1987, the town of Scheibe, which gave it its name, and the developments of the town of Burg, located to the north, had to make way for it. After mining operations ceased, Lake Scheibe emerged as a post-mining landscape. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagebau_Scheibe
