The old Lützerath no longer exists. The small town on the edge of the Garzweiler lignite mine was finally razed to the ground. However, the dismantling is still in full swing.
The last house was demolished on Thursday in Lützerath on the edge of the Rhenish opencast lignite mine. This was announced by the energy company RWE. A spokesman emphasized that it would take weeks to dismantle the basement, roads, canals and lines.
Pulling out the tree roots and then transporting them away will also take time. “That’s why we’re still a long way from announcing the end of the dismantling.”
Lützerath, which belongs to Erkelenz west of Cologne, was evacuated in a day-long large-scale police operation against the resistance of hundreds of climate activists. The energy company RWE wants to mine lignite there.
