Seebuehne

Where lignite was dug from the ground until the early 1990s, water now stands. The Goitzsche is one of the lakes created by flooding the exhausted open-cast workings around Bitterfeld, a landscape remade inside a single generation, and the Seebühne belongs to that reclamation: an open-air stage at the water's edge, its audience seated on ground that within living memory was the rim of a pit.
