Lusatian mining museum Knappenrode ...

After you have put on a yellow protective helmet and checked your shoes, the tour can start, leading you through an impressive historic factory. Every year, thousands of big and small "coal miners" visit the Energy Factory Knappenrode. Its linchpin is the almost 100-year-old briquette factory. Since 1994, the Lusatian Mining Museum with an exhibition area of over 25 hectares, can be explored in the factory building. Here you can watch machines in operation to understand which levers have to be moved to generate energy. Enjoy a visit to the Energy Factory Knappenrode with the whole family! You can take a guided tour, visit our permanent and special exhibitions, watch presentations of mining vehicles and machines or even ride a hand-lever draisine.
