Landmark Lusatian Lakeland by Architektur & Landschaft

Lusatian Lakeland landmark is a 30-meter-high steel viewing tower as a symbol of the transformation of the Lusatian Lake District, a former moonscape through the decade’s lignite mining.

Made of 100 t corten steel, this landmark building provides a panoramic view of the lake landscape, nine offset stairs leading up to a viewing platform at the top.

Between Dresden and Berlin, the Lusatian Lakeland is the largest artificial lake landscape plan in Europe, a disused Lusatia’s lignite fields are being transformed into a “water world” of thirty lakes, ten of which are connected by navigable canals.

berhuft mit Architekturpreisen und beliebt bei der Bevlkerung. Bei schnem Wetter bietet der 30 Meter hohe Aussichtsturm bei Senftenberg eine Rundum-Blick auf vier der 30 Seen: Sedlitzer See, Geierswalder See, Partwitzer See und Senftenberger See.

Inspiration from architect:

As a sculpture in the landscape is the landmark of the particular local situation at the mouth of Sornoer channel in the Sedlitzer Lake Framed. On a triangular base rises a is building with two faces. While it is on the land side with opens his sculptural staircases, it shows up on the lake side as large-scale stele.
The thinness of the material and the particular manner of construction from hollow bodies, the visitor is sonorous when ascending and descent. Each step is acoustically experience.
