The Gremminer See or Ferropolissee is a residual opencast lake that emerged from the former Golpa-Nord opencast mine . It is the eighth largest lake and at the same time one of the northernmost lakes in the Central German Lake District . The name is derived from the excavated place Gremmin . The Gremminer See is located north of the city of Graefenhainichen , which is in the terminal moraine area of ​​the plateau of Graefenhainichen-Schmiedeberg , also Dübener Heide , in Saxony-Anhalt .

The Ferropolis open-air museum is located on a peninsula , in which five former large-scale opencast mining machines are exhibited, which enclose a large arena for 25,000 spectators.

development

The flooding of the former opencast mine began in 2000. It was originally supposed to be completed in 2012, but this time has been delayed several times.

At times, the rise in water was accelerated by supplying water via a pipeline from the basin 12.5 kilometers away . Due to technical problems, the flooding system had to stop operating in 2009. The discharge of excess water from Lake Groebern, planned for the years 2013 to 2015 , did not materialize; the water level was 77.8 meters above sea level in 2012 and 77.4 meters in 2016 . The planned final water level of 78.6 meters above sea level was not quite reached in 2019 either.

owner

In 2004 the Lausitzer und Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH ( LMBV ) sold the lake to a company of the Swabian Merckle group of companies . It is currently (2019) owned by Blausee GmbH . This and other companies belonging to the group, which are also dedicated to the development and commercial use of property land, own several post-mining lakes and adjacent properties in central Germany, including Lake Groebern south of Graefenhainichen. In 2019, Blausee GmbH acquired shares in the Ferropolis operating company.

Restriction of use by mining law

Until the lake is released from mining law , public and private use of the lake area and the shoreline is only possible within the framework of special permits, which are decided by the State Office for Geology and Mining . The development of the bank areas remains excluded. The responsible mining rehabilitation company is the LMBV .

In 2006, as part of an interim use, bathing under the supervision of lifeguards was only permitted for two bathing areas. This situation persisted in 2010 and 2015. In 2019, the lake was still subject to mining law.
