We took the train into Berlin for a day. We went to one museum. I forgot my camera in the car in Lübben so all of these are cellphone shots.

Senftenberg – Wikipedia

“Senftenberg is a town in southern Brandenburg, Germany, capital of the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district. is located in the southwest of the historic Lower Lusatia region at the border with Saxony. Its town centre is situated north of the river Black Elster and the artificial Senftenberger Lake, part of the Lusatian Lake District chain, approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) northwest of Hoyerswerda, and 35 kilometres (22 mi) southwest of Cottbus.

Senftenberg was first mentioned in a 1279 deed issued by Henry III the Illustrious of Wettin, then margrave of Lusatia. With Lower Lusatia, the settlement was acquired by the Kingdom of Bohemia under Charles IV of Luxembourg in 1368. Elector Frederick II of Saxony acquired Senftenberg in 1448, whereafter the area as a border stronghold of the House of Wettin was separated from Bohemian Lusatia, until in 1635 all Lusatian territories fell to Saxony by the Peace of Prague. According to the 1815 Congress of Vienna, Lower Lusatia was annexed by Prussia and incorporated into the Province of Brandenburg.”

Bescherbergwerk F60

We all went to see Bescherbergwerk F60, a historic coal mining structure in Lusatia. It was a bit more than I bargained for, the climb was too much. It has a total length of 502 meters, 204 meters wide and the height of almost 80 meters. I kept slipping on the wet platforms and stairs as we climbed.

Lubben in the Morning

I enjoyed taking morning walks behind our rental apartment. By the river Spree the sign on the haystack was “Wer rettet die Kultulandschaft?” which means “Who saves the nature resort?”
