The edge of the RWE open pit mine engulfed what was once a town of 900 inhabitants in 2019. Down the road, the expanding Hambach lignite mine was encroaching upon the remaining ancient Hambach forest that once covered the mine. Thousands of demonstrators, dressed in white Tyvek suits, have protested in recent years to save the remaining 200 hectares of the Hambach forest.
