Experience industrial culture up close

Oct 11, 2020

Knappenrode

Surrounded by forest and heathland lies a 100-year-old industrial monument: the Knappenrode energy factory. It is now being brought back to life - partly analogue, partly digital. Since October 2020, the newly created permanent exhibition has combined history with modernity. For the first time, an exhibition will show the development of the old Lusatian mining district from its pre-industrial beginnings to a future-oriented holiday and energy region.

A total of 30 of our xpedeo multimedia guides and the web app we developed support visitors on their journey through time by allowing them to immerse themselves in life and work in Lusatia at that time with all their senses using historical film and photo recordings and exciting contributions.

The media guide is available in German, English and Sorbian. Tours in easy language or audio description are currently in progress.
