Mining leaves various landscapes behind that have to be made arable again for use in the post-mining period. The history of recultivating these kinds of landscapes has not been a focus of previous research. The contributions in this volume delve into this research gap from different perspectives and emphasize the two German states' differences and similarities between 1949 and 1989.
