For almost 25 years, the federally-owned Wismut GmbH has been successfully remediating the legacies left behind by former uranium ore mining operations in Saxony and Thuringia. Environmental impacts in the former mining regions have significantly decreased. The remedial activities have mitigated environmental damage and reshaped natural landscapes for the benefit of the people and their region.

This brochure portrays the initial situation and the results achieved thus far in mine decommissioning and remediating former mining areas to prepare them for future reuse. In addition, it provides an overview of the tasks ahead.
