Once, here was the central office of the brown coal open mine Golpa-Nord, which was flooded in the meantime. Until 1991 brown coal had been extracted around the peninsula. Then the open mines’ giant equipment – monuments of the machine age- should have been scrapped. FERROPOLIS is a living museum abuzz with fitting scenery for concerts and events.
