Along the avenue there is also a memorial in typical Sorbian style. In this case, it was erected in 1950 by parents for their only son, who went missing in Stalingrad.

Anyone entering the former briquette factory will experience 100 years of Lusatian industrial history with all their senses. It is a technical monument and has been open to the public as a museum since 1994. The modern foyer features a bistro and a museum shop. The multimedia permanent exhibition tells the story of the Lusatian mining region for the first time. It ranges in stages from pre-industrialization through the lignite economic boom at the beginning of the 20th century, the role of Lusatia during wartime and times of crisis, as well as its role as an energy center of the GDR, to the development of the Lusatian Lake District and current issues of the energy transition. The focus is on the people and their relationship to work, culture, and the environment. The 30-meter-high Lusatia.Blick offers a magnificent view. The heart of the museum is the historic factory. Sieving, grinding, drying, pressing: On the Factory.Experience.Tour, the briquetting process can be experienced firsthand. Former workers have their say, and the factory siren sounds three times a day to call for the acoustic shift. Outside, other buildings from the former operational infrastructure provide a glimpse into the complex operational processes: large-scale open-cast mining equipment, drainage technology, and rail-bound vehicles that were once in daily use.

Zeißig, Upper Sorbian. Ćisk is a village on the green in Upper Lusatia and is part of the recognized Sorbian settlement area. Zeißig was first mentioned in documents in 1248. The Zeißighof has been the cultural and recreational center of the village of Zeißig for many years. The farm was built as a Sorbian farm at the end of the 19th century in a style typical of the region, with a brick facade and the typical brick basket arch over the entrance. After extensive renovation, the Zeißighof is a meeting place where Sorbian life and rural crafts can be experienced firsthand in their original form. One of the building's special features is the over 100-year-old wood-fired oven, in which Zeißig wood-fired bread is baked on special occasions. Zeißig clubs demonstrate Sorbian customs as part of themed events. Source: https://www.sorben-tourismus.com/zeissighof.html Photo: Uwe Schulz / Energiefabrik Knappenrode

The Werminghoff briquette factory began operations in 1918 as one of the most modern factories in Europe. Over 100 years later, the briquette factory is a testament to lignite processing in Upper Lusatia and a museum. The museum has been extensively redesigned and, for the first time, presents a permanent exhibition that traces the development of the old Lusatian mining region from its pre-industrial beginnings to a future-oriented holiday and energy region. On a journey through time, visitors playfully experience the region's industrial, social, and ecological transformation processes: from the Sorbian heath villages to the economic boom fueled by lignite in the 20th century, to the development of the Lusatian Lake District and current issues surrounding the energy transition. You can experience it with all your senses – see, hear, touch, feel. The current website: https://www.energiefabrik-knappenrode.de/
