to include a descent into the Garzweiler open-cast mine. However, due to heavy rainfall, we had to pivot and headed instead to the Terra Nova viewpoint at the Hambach mine, guided by a representative from RWE. From this vantage point, we looked out over a surreal, almost lunar landscape: vast, empty, and unsettlingly quiet.

After Inge Broskas home in Otzenrath was excavated, she relocated to J\u00fcchen-Hochneukirch and began collecting relics from destroyed localities, turning her house into a museum. There, found objects are categorised and presented together with evidence of her own lifelong artistic practice in a unique way, according to her own system. We explored the space individually to form personal impressions, discovering different artefacts we later discussed; the Hausmuseum serves primarily to give visibility to what would otherwise be lost \u2014 the regional resistance and the numerous personal fates tied to the mining industry and transgenerational exchange that seeks to ensure that these fates are not forgotten.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"onethird\",\r\n \"row\": 9,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 16,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 28,\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"frameOverflow\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"carousel\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 10,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 16,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 1316,\r\n \"carousel_options\": {\r\n \"random\": false,\r\n \"autoplay\": false,\r\n \"showMultipleSlides\": true,\r\n \"freeScroll\": false,\r\n \"mousewheelScroll\": false,\r\n \"size\": \"fixedHeight\",\r\n \"slidesWidth\": \"null\",\r\n \"transition\": \"sliding\",\r\n \"loop\": false,\r\n \"spaceBetween\": 30,\r\n \"captionsUnderSlides\": false,\r\n \"autoplaySpeed\": 2000,\r\n \"autoplayDelay\": 0,\r\n \"transitionSpeed\": 300,\r\n \"fixedHeight\": \"70vh\",\r\n \"fillSlides\": false,\r\n \"disableClick\": false\r\n },\r\n \"carousel\": [\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7293,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19-768x576.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19-512x384.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19-265x199.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 792,\r\n \"h\": 594,\r\n \"ar\": 0.75,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7292,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18-768x514.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18-512x343.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18-265x177.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 960,\r\n \"h\": 643,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6697916666666667,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7294,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20-768x506.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20-512x337.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20-265x175.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 990,\r\n \"h\": 652,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6585858585858586,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7290,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16-768x513.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16-512x342.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16-265x177.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 982,\r\n \"h\": 656,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6680244399185336,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7296,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22-768x519.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22-512x346.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22-265x179.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 945,\r\n \"h\": 639,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6761904761904762,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n }\r\n ],\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"frameOverflow\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"<p class=\\\"_Extrainfo\\\"><span style=\\\"font-size: 15px;\\\">pictures above \u00a9 Jan Lemitz<br \/><\/span><\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"twothirds\",\r\n \"row\": 11,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 16,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 24,\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"frameOverflow\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"<p class=\\\"_DefaultSmall\\\"><span style=\\\"font-size: 25px;\\\">From there, we made our way to Keyenberg, A village right on the border of the open-cast mine, that <span><span id=\\\"wpaicg-chat-message-62942\\\" class=\\\"wpaicg-chat-message\\\"> was nearly demolished <\/span><\/span>in order to extract the lignite that lies beneath the buildings, some of which are centuries old. Since demolition had been hanging over the town like the sword of Damocles for decades, renovation work was often not carried out. Gradually, residents sold their houses and land. Cemetery graves were relocated and the church was deconsecrated. Over 80% had sold their houses when the decision was made not to demolish the village after all. Walking through the village, you feel like you're in a ghost town. However, notices on windows and information boards make it clear that \u201cthis place is inhabited. Please be considerate of the residents.\u201d<br \/>We were welcomed by representatives of the Landfolge Garzweiler special-purpose association, who presented their plans for the Kreyenberg art colony to us on site. This is a location in a former square farmstead that is to be extensively renovated and will in future serve as a cultural center for the village, offering artist residencies, exhibitions, and other conceivable formats. It is a place that shows that life goes on here. Kreyenberg thus symbolizes the dilemma facing the region, but also the new opportunities arising from the upheaval.<\/span><span style=\\\"font-size: 25px;\\\"> Volker<span> Mielchen<\/span> explained the current situation in the region, highlighting the opportunities available and the direction in which things are heading.

Our guide, Silke Schatz, shared insights into Manheim\u2019s present and the role of activists and local communities in shaping its future. She also showed us the activist camp\u2019s gathering point, offering a window into the daily life and aims of local actors on the ground.

After Inge Broskas home in Otzenrath was excavated, she relocated to J\u00fcchen-Hochneukirch and began collecting relics from destroyed localities, turning her house into a museum. There, found objects are categorised and presented together with evidence of her own lifelong artistic practice in a unique way, according to her own system. We explored the space individually to form personal impressions, discovering different artefacts we later discussed; the Hausmuseum serves primarily to give visibility to what would otherwise be lost \u2014 the regional resistance and the numerous personal fates tied to the mining industry and transgenerational exchange that seeks to ensure that these fates are not forgotten.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"bottom\",\r\n \"row\": 10,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 12,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 28,\r\n \"absolute_position\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"carousel\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\",\r\n \"align\": \"bottom\",\r\n \"row\": 11,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 12,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 1316,\r\n \"carousel_options\": {\r\n \"random\": false,\r\n \"autoplay\": false,\r\n \"showMultipleSlides\": true,\r\n \"freeScroll\": false,\r\n \"mousewheelScroll\": false,\r\n \"size\": \"fixedHeight\",\r\n \"slidesWidth\": \"null\",\r\n \"transition\": \"sliding\",\r\n \"loop\": false,\r\n \"spaceBetween\": 30,\r\n \"captionsUnderSlides\": false,\r\n \"autoplaySpeed\": 2000,\r\n \"autoplayDelay\": 0,\r\n \"transitionSpeed\": 300,\r\n \"fixedHeight\": \"70vh\",\r\n \"fillSlides\": false,\r\n \"disableClick\": false\r\n },\r\n \"carousel\": [\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7293,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19-768x576.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19-512x384.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft19-265x199.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 792,\r\n \"h\": 594,\r\n \"ar\": 0.75,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7292,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18-768x514.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18-512x343.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft18-265x177.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 960,\r\n \"h\": 643,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6697916666666667,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7294,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20-768x506.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20-512x337.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft20-265x175.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 990,\r\n \"h\": 652,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6585858585858586,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7290,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16-768x513.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16-512x342.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft16-265x177.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 982,\r\n \"h\": 656,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6680244399185336,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"attid\": 7296,\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22.png\",\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22.png\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22-768x519.png\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22-512x346.png\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ft22-265x179.png\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 945,\r\n \"h\": 639,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6761904761904762,\r\n \"alt\": \"\"\r\n }\r\n ],\r\n \"absolute_position\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"<p class=\\\"_Extrainfo\\\"><span style=\\\"font-size: 15px;\\\">pictures above \u00a9 Jan Lemitz<br \/><\/span><\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"bottom\",\r\n \"row\": 12,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 12,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 24,\r\n \"absolute_position\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"<p class=\\\"_DefaultSmall\\\"><span style=\\\"font-size: 25px;\\\">From there, we made our way to Keyenberg, A village right on the border of the open-cast mine, that <span><span id=\\\"wpaicg-chat-message-62942\\\" class=\\\"wpaicg-chat-message\\\"> was nearly demolished <\/span><\/span>in order to extract the lignite that lies beneath the buildings, some of which are centuries old. Since demolition had been hanging over the town like the sword of Damocles for decades, renovation work was often not carried out. Gradually, residents sold their houses and land. Cemetery graves were relocated and the church was deconsecrated. Over 80% had sold their houses when the decision was made not to demolish the village after all. Walking through the village, you feel like you're in a ghost town. However, notices on windows and information boards make it clear that \u201cthis place is inhabited. Please be considerate of the residents.\u201d<br \/>We were welcomed by representatives of the Landfolge Garzweiler special-purpose association, who presented their plans for the Kreyenberg art colony to us on site. This is a location in a former square farmstead that is to be extensively renovated and will in future serve as a cultural center for the village, offering artist residencies, exhibitions, and other conceivable formats. It is a place that shows that life goes on here. Kreyenberg thus symbolizes the dilemma facing the region, but also the new opportunities arising from the upheaval.<\/span><span style=\\\"font-size: 25px;\\\"> Volker<span> Mielchen<\/span> explained the current situation in the region, highlighting the opportunities available and the direction in which things are heading.
