The special exhibition "Let Grass Grow Over It..." held at the German Mining Museum looks at central issues from German-German environmental history, focusing on the mining carried out between 1949 and 1990, and the use of land leftover from mining. It addresses three different mining categories and regions: lignite mining in Lausitz, coal mining in the Ruhr region, and the uranium ore mining carried out by SDAG Wismut in Thüringia and Saxony.
