The Seese-West opencast mine is a former open-cast lignite mine in what is now the state of Brandenburg . It was opened in the years 1962 to 1964 southwest of the Spreewald motorway triangle , near the villages of Kittlitz and Schönfeld . The total area of land take was 2900 hectares. It was shut down in 1978 and has been renovated since 1992.
Dredged places
The Seese-West opencast mine created the villages of Seese (Bzež), Kückebusch (Groźc), Vorberg (Barak), Tornow and Schönfeld (Tłukom) as well as most of the Kleptna drainage basin and the eastern part of the Zinnitz (Synjeńce) municipality (east of the district of Bathow ).
Effects on the water balance
Since the Seese coal fields were located in the Spree catchment area, the groundwater lowering caused by opencast mining had a significant impact on the water balance of the Spree and the Spreewald. This was counteracted by feeding mine water into the Spreewald .
Todays use
In the area of the former opencast mine, the Schönfelder See will be built by 2017 . On January 30, 2009, a landslide occurred. The area was cordoned off extensively by the mining rehabilitation company LMBV ( Lausitzer und Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH ). On February 9, 2015 there was a further lowering of the terrain in a closed inner dump.
