- Lusatian_Lake_District abstract "The Lusatian Lake District (German: Lausitzer Seenland) is a chain of artificial lakes in Germany, situated across the north-eastern part of Saxony and the southern part of Brandenburg. Through flooding as a part of an extensive regeneration programme, several decommissioned lignite opencast mines are in process to be transformed to Europe's largest artificial lake district by 2018.Since the end of the 19th century, the area has been an industrial region, producing lignite and electricity. With the reunification of Germany in 1990, it was decided to end this long tradition because of the dwindling quantity of lignite and the heavy pollution of the surrounding environment. Although mining continues and some big power stations continue to produce electricity with it, all industrial activity should cease by 2020.Since the 1970s, some of the old pits left by the mining process have been transformed into a new landscape formerly unknown in this region. What was once a plain overgrown with heather and a few trees is now a lake district comparable to the Mecklenburg Lake Plateau in Mecklenburg or the Masurian Lakeland in Poland. It all began with the creation of the Knappensee and the Senftenberger See, still one of the biggest lakes in the region.Further lakes have already been established, and plans for over twenty more large lakes have been drawn up.Lakes that have already been created include: in the north: the Gräbendörfer See, Altdöberner See and Bergheiner See in the centre: the Senftenberger See, Ilsesee, Sedlitzer See, Partwitzer See, Geierswalder See, Neuwieser See, Blunoer Südsee, Sabrodter See, Bergener See and Spreetaler See in the south: the Bernsteinsee, Scheibesee, Dreiweibner See, Speicherbecken Lohse II, Silbersee/Mortkasee, Knappensee and Graureihersee.These are not the only artificial lakes that have been and will be created in the east of Germany. Around the city of Leipzig, a new lake district is starting to develop, and there are other examples, such as the Bärwalder See and Berzdorfer See near the city of Görlitz in Upper Lusatia.The whole area around the Lusatian Lake District is expected by some to become one of the most attractive tourist regions in Germany.".
