Press Release September 2020 New Developments Press Release September 2020 New Developments New opening: Brandenburger Domhotel Since August 2020, the city of Brandenburg on the Havel can boast yet another hotel, the Hotel Brandenburger Dom. In the old cathedral curiae, where the canons once lived, tourists, cyclists, wedding guests and conference delegates can stay in 20 individually furnished rooms. The 12 double and 8 single rooms are spread over three floors. Each room has an ensuite bathroom with a shower, free WiFi and a smart TV. The hotel has one accessible room and one especially for wheelchair users. Two further rooms and an apartment for 7 people are located in the courtyard. Right next door is the hotel´s Restaurant Remise, where not only breakfast for hotel guests is served, but also lunch and dinner can be enjoyed by everyone. The hotel is just a 10 minute walk away from the city centre. The Hotel Brandenburger Dom is a certified “Bett and Bike” hotel. https://hotel-brandenburger-dom.de/ New floating homes on the Lake Baerwalde (Saxony) A holiday spent on water is a dream that can come true in a floating holiday home. Alongside the floating houses that have been available for booking on Lake Geierswalde for some years now, there is now a holiday home resort at Klitten harbour on Lake Baerwalde. These homes look more like flat houseboats. As well as a generous living space of 44 square metres for four people, there are two outdoor terraces, each measuring 40 square metres. The furnishings and fittings are exclusive. There are plans to build 25 houseboats on Lake Baerwalde. At the moment there is just one, which has been available for booking since June. More are currently being built. Stay here and enjoy a view of the water that cannot be beaten! www.schwimmendeshaus.de Three Lakes in One The Lusatian Lake District is Europe´s largest lakeland region. Opencast mines are being flooded to create more than 20 new lakes, which are being joined together by canals to create an attractive boating holiday destination. The Barbara Canal, the second navigable canal, has been in operation for a year and connects Lake Geierswalde and Lake Partwitz. (Lake Geierswalde is also connected by the Koschener Canal to Lake Senftenberg.) The Barbara Canal takes its name from St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners. Three lakes in the Lusatian Lake District are now connected by canals and can be explored by boat. License-free boats, rafts, BBQ- boats and simple houseboats can be hired on the lakes. Boats with a draft of 1.2 metres can sail on the canal. The rules for navigating the canals are easy. Entry is on the half hour westwards to Lake Geierswalde and on the hour eastwards to Lake Partwitz, in each case for ten minutes. If you have to wait (50 minutes at the most), there are places on the lakes where you can tie up your boat. The Barbara Canal is in operation all year round. www.brandenburg-tourism.com/holiday-region/lausitzer- seenland/ Tourismus-Marketing Brandenburg GmbH is die tourism marketing organisation for the Federal State of Brandenburg.

    RESEARCH NEWS 12 | 2015 || 1 Offshore wind farms – measuring buoy reduces costs Building and operating offshore wind farms is an expensive business. To be able to estimate the profitability of the plants, first the wind potential must be determined. Fraunhofer researchers have now created a wind measurement buoy with sophistica- ted, precise measurement technology that supplies the necessary data. 2 Growing stem cells faster on seaweed Alginate forms a kind of supporting skeleton in the cell walls of certain kinds of algae. Fraunhofer scientists use the gel-like mass from Chilean seaweed as the substrate for stem cells. They can flexibly adjust the pore size and elasticity of the alginate, and it transports active ingredients and has better optical characteristics than plastic materials. 3 Meat and Bone Meal as a Source of Phosphorus Slaughterhouse waste is processed into meat and bone meal and subsequently fed to livestock or incinerated. This meal could be put to better use, though. It contains phosphorus, a scarce mineral used as fertilizer. A new system burns meal, producing ash that could be used as the raw material for phosphorus fertilizer. 4 Electric cars: batteries with brains The battery is the heart of the electric car. Fraunhofer researchers have developed an energy storage device which is significantly more cost-effective over the entire life cycle in comparison with previous models. If one of the more than one hundred battery cells is defective, it can be replaced easily. Until now, the entire battery had to be replaced. 5 Door manufacturers benefit from simulation tools Building burglary-resistent doors with thermal insulation is a challenge for manufactur- ers.

  • Structural Change in Former Mining Regions: Problems, Potentials and Capacities in Multi-Level-Governance Systems
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 14 (2011) 167–176 Regional Environmental Governance: Interdisciplinary Perspectives, Theoretical Issues, Comparative Designs (REGov) Structural change in former mining regions: problems, potentials and capacities in multi-level-governance systems Jörn Harfsta*, Peter Wirtha aLeibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development (IOER), Weberplatz 1, 01217 Dresden, Germany Abstract The paper discusses remediation and regeneration processes in former mining regions in Eastern Germany. Research focuses on the multi-level governance system in which the environmental rehabilitation processes were set in. The paper discusses certain difficulties of the system, which can be characterized as problems of interplay, fit, scale and path dependency (Young). Results highlight the importance of enhancing regional capacities, in order to allow actors in former mining regions to find appropriate rehabilitation solutions and to connect them with new development approaches. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Keywords: Structural change; Environmental problems; Multi-level governance; Capacity building; Regional development. 1. Introduction Most discussions on regional environmental governance focus mainly on cases concerning certain natural landscape features or specific ecoregions, such as mountains, river catchment areas, and seas. Specific, often transnational governance arrangements are entrusted with managing the shared problems of such environmental systems. Typical examples are agreements on water and river systems (water commissions, the European Union Water Framework Directive, agreements on mountain ranges such as the Alpine and Carpathian Convention)(Balsiger & VanDeveer 2010). This paper sheds a different light on the discussion of regional environmental governance systems. It considers the example of governance arrangements for dealing with the difficult environmental legacy of the mining industry in Central and Eastern Europe.

    Study tour to the post-mining region of Lausitz/Lusatia, State of Brandenburg Thursday, 30.6.2016 Preparation of the Field Trip: Dr. Peter Wirth (IOER) Local tour operator: Karsten Feucht (transform – Tourism Concepts and Project Management) Issue 1: Presentation by the tour operator Karsten Feucht Place: IBA-Studierhaus Lausitzer Seenland e.V. in Großräschen The region of Lausitz/Lusatia Lusatia (German: Lausitz) is an historical region in eastern Germany. It stretches from the Polish border in the east to the Elbe valley in the west, today located within the German states of Saxony and Brandenburg. Lusatia comprises two both scenically and historically different parts: a hilly southern "upper" section and a "lower" region. The latter part was the goal of the study tour. The International Building Exhibition (IBA) Fürst Pückler Land 2000 to 2010 In Germany, international building exhibitions have pushed urban development for more than one hundred years. Traditionally, domestic architecture was in the center of attention. From 1989 to 1999 it was IBA Emscher Park, which was dedicated to the restructuring of an entire region for the first time – in the Ruhr area in western Germany. It has developed a new type of post-mining cultural landscape there. This approach was also addressed by the IBA Fürst Pückler Land from 2000 to 2010 in the south of Brandenburg. Local tour operator Karsten Feucht during his introduction (photo: R. Vigh/IOER) Brown coal and post-mining transformation In Lusatia millions of cubic meters of soil are being moved within the framework of brown coal extraction and redevelopment. Where the energy center of the former GDR once used to be, one can find Europe's largest landscape construction site today.

  • Einblicke Sanierung, Sicherung Und Rekultivierung Von Bergwerken Und Tagebauen Views Redevelopment and Recultivation of Mining Landscapes
    Einblicke Sanierung, Sicherung und Rekultivierung von Bergwerken und Tagebauen Views Redevelopment and recultivation of mining landscapes Einblicke Sanierung, Sicherung und Rekultivierung von Bergwerken und Tagebauen Seit über 20 Jahren saniert die LMBV im Auftrag von Bund und Ländern die Hinterlassenschaften des DDR-Braunkohlenbergbaus in den Revieren der Lausitz und Mitteldeutschlands. Im Ergebnis dieser Tätigkeit entstehen sichere Landschaften, die neue Perspektiven bieten, nicht nur für die Menschen, die hier leben und arbeiten, sondern auch für die dafür in Anspruch genommene Landschaft. Die bisherige Braunkohlesanierung ist eine Erfolgsgeschichte. Nirgendwo sonst auf der Welt ist eine industrielle Landschaft in diesen Dimensionen von Menschenhand umgestaltet und für künftige Generationen nutzbar gemacht worden. Es ist aber auch eine anspruchsvolle Aufgabe, bei der neue Wege zu beschreiten waren und auch künftig neue Herausforderungen stehen. Die Verwahrung stillgelegter Kali-, Spat- und Erzbergwerke ist seit Mitte 2014 ebenfalls ein Sanierungsbereich der LMBV. Views Redevelopment and recultivation of mining landscapes For over 20 years LMBV, on behalf of the German federal government and its states, has restored and reclaimed decommissioned lignite mining facilities left behind by former East Germany in the Lusatian and Central German mining regions. These activities have created safe landscapes that offer new perspectives – not only for the people who live and work there, but also for the landscapes themselves as they offer new uses. Until now, the reclamation and remediation of former lignite mining facilities has been a success story. Nowhere else in the world have industrial land- scapes on this scale been redeveloped by humans for new uses by future generations. The challenge has been truly demanding, and new paths have been taken – with new challenges facing us for the future.
