?:abstract
  • Since the German reunification in 1990, the landscapes of lignite basins in East Germany, shaped by opencast mining underwent a profound transformation resulting from the closing of most mines. While lakes were formed in ancient flooded excavations, huge mining wasteland areas were reforested or used to implement wind farms and photovoltaic parks at the origin of new energy landscapes. The first wind farms settled in the 1990s in Lusatia were located on mineral mining wasteland which became a potential resource for renewable energy. As a result of the accelerated energy transition policy since 2011, new repowering projects were launched. These projects are developed in a different context because of changing mining wasteland which were meanwhile reconquered by nature and are home to a wide variety of protected migratory birds. This development was favored by the establishment of an International Building Exhibition dedicated to supporting the idea of social renewal by designing new landscapes. Despite the new social and environmental challenges, these projects led by private investors were carried out without public opposition on lands owned by a public company responsible for rehabilitating mines. They have led to a new image and new values given to mining landscapes. The analysis of both previous researches and studies for the installation of wind farms, as well as in-depth qualitative interviews with locals and different stakeholders involved in the development of renewable energy projects, provides lessons for understanding the processing of mining landscapes in post mining landscapes where renewable energy occupy an essential place.
