Ursprünglich sollte er nach dem Willen der drei Eigentümer-Kommunen Senftenberg, Großräschen und Schipkau in naher Zukunft gesprengt werden.

Von der Absicht, den 2002 außer Dienst gestellten Bagger zu sprengen, habe man aus der Zeitung erfahren, hieß es auf Nachfrage aus dem Brandenburgischen Landesamt für Denkmalpflege und dem Archäologischen Landesmuseum in Wünsdorf. „Der Denkmalwert des Baggers ist schon seit etwa 2002/2003 erkannt worden. Seinerzeit ist man einfach davon ausgegangen, dass es nicht nötig sei, ihn auf die Denkmalliste zu setzen“, sagt Behörden-Sprecher Christof Krauskopf und erklärt, dass allein schon die Feststellung des Denkmalwertes bedeute, dass das Objekt dadurch geschützt ist. Nun hat das Landesamt jedoch ganz schnell reagiert und den Bagger aufgrund des drohenden Verlustes offiziell auf die Denkmalliste gesetzt. --> |

Das heißt noch nicht, dass der Bagger endgültig gerettet ist. „Aber gibt es eine Möglichkeit, konstruktiv mit den Eigentümern über dessen Zukunft zu sprechen“, erklärt Matthias Braxmann, der in der Behörde für Industrie- und Technikdenkmale zuständig ist.

Bagger 1473 is a bucket-wheel excavator left abandoned in a field in the municipality of Schipkau in Germany.[1]
Misidentification
When Bagger 1473 became popular in the urban exploration community, the link was quickly made to Bagger 258 because of markings found on the information plate.[2] There was also a Bagger 258 at work at the Tagebau Garzweiler mine, about 650 km from Bagger 1473's location.

Operational life
In its operational life the excavator was used in the Tagebau Meuro mine from 1965 to 2002.
Scrapping proposal
In January 2019 it was announced[3] that the bucket-wheel excavator was to be scrapped. This decision of the municipalities was mainly due to further dilapidation and vandalism. Only parts of the excavator, such as the wheel, were to be preserved.
The municipalities declared that saving the steel giant was financially impossible and that damage due to vandalism and theft was so extensive that the structure was no longer safe for people to climb onto it.
In February, the Brandenburg Landesamt für Denkmalpflege and the state archeological museum learned of the planned detonation in the press and issued a statement that the eligibility of the excavator for protection as a historical structure had been acknowledged since 2002/2003. At that time, it was simply assumed that it was unnecessary to formally place it on the list of such structures. The fact that the structure was identified as historically significant was considered sufficient to declare it as protected. The Landesamt quickly made it official, due to the threat of destruction.
That does not mean, however, that the excavator has definitely been rescued. While constructive discussions about its future with the owners are possible, it is unclear how the structure can be preserved for the years to come and who will pay for it.[4]
