The Bautzen Hammer Mill was built in 1493 by the city of Bautzen on the Spree River as a wire mill, i.e., for the production of wire using wire drawing machines. In 1740, the mill was expanded to include an iron hammer mill. Today, it is located north of the old town on the border of the Seidau district and serves as a flour mill, oil mill, and mustard mill.

It was once the largest brown coal power plant in the GDR with more than 4,000 employees. The Boxberg power plant has been in operation for more than half a century and has been partially shut down, modernized and rebuilt.

Beautiful view that shows many contrasts at a glance. On the one hand, the renaturalized Bärwalder Lake and the floating houses and on the other side, the still active coal-fired power station Boxberg O.L. If you like industrial culture and photographing it, you will find a great subject here with a good camera.
