Five years after the sudden closure of the Störmthal Canal in Leipzig's Neuseenland region, a feasibility study has now been carried out to determine whether the structure can be renovated. The "Leipziger Volkszeitung" reported that the study puts the construction costs at at least 17 million euros. However, the mining redeveloper LMBV points out that the paper is based on an old status quo from 2024.
The feasibility study was distributed to the members of the Neuseenland steering group in March, the LMBV writes on its website. The committee coordinates water development in the former open-cast lignite mining landscape of the Central German mining area.
