The Hambach mine is one of Europe’s largest and deepest open-cast coal mines. Humans have transformed the landscape to the point of giving life to a new geological era. The mine is the symbol of humanity’s power over territorial, environmental, and climatic transformations at impressive levels of scale and scope. The presented work is a reflection on the IDEA League summer workshop that was held by TU Delft (Laura Cipriani) in collaboration with the Institute of Landscape Architecture of RWTH Aachen University (Frank Lohrberg, Silvia Beretta) and Politecnico di Milano (Antonio Longo). The aim was to formulate scenarios and visions for the landscape transformation of the Rhenish Lignite District, the largest open-cast lignite mining area in Europe, located in the German region of North Rhine Westphalia.
