The Adria gravel pit is an approximately twelve-hectare open-cast mine . It is located in the Dessau-Roßlau district of Mildensee , directly on the A 9 .
history
In the 1930s, gravel was extracted from opencast mining for the construction of the Reichsautobahn Berlin - Munich . After the section of the motorway, for which the gravel was needed, was completed, the remaining open pit was renatured and on July 15, 1939 the “Reichsautobahnbad Mildensee” with changing rooms and restaurants was opened.
