Summary

Description
Deutsch: Einige Monate nachdem der Ortskern von Immerath dem Braunkohletagebau von Garzweiler (Hintergrund) zum Opfer fiel, ist der Ort nicht mehr bewohnt. Die Stelle, wo die Kirche Lambertus-„Dom“ zu sehen war, ist kaum mehr zu erkennen: Bei Minute 1:30 taucht unten im Bild ein Teil des Kirchenfundaments auf. Der Drohnenflug beginnt östlich des Orts, mit Blick auf Garzweiler und seinen Kohleabbau, und führt uns dann westlich über Immerath hinweg. Das Video ist unbearbeitet, wie es aus der Drohne kam.
English: Drone video, unedited, no sound. We see the highly controversal destruction of landscape, farms, rural communities, ancient forests, old churches etc. by the German coal mining and power plant giant RWE. The drone faces east and slowly moves from the central mining area of Garzweiler back to the town of Immerath, which used to be visually dominated by the St. Lambertus church, dismantled in early 2018. You see parts of the church‘s corner stones appear at minute 1:30 at the bottom center. The town is a ghost town now (Dec. 2018). RWE holds the license by the German government to extend its coal mining operations to the west, so that Immerath and about ten other towns will be totally extinct.
