Overburden conveyour bridge F60, Industrial crane and open-air museum in Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf, Germany

The F60 conveyor bridge stretches 502 meters in length, reaches 80 meters in height, and contains 760 wheels positioned along its railway tracks.

Constructed between 1989 and 1991, this massive mining machine operated for only 13 months before closing due to changes in German energy policies.

The structure now stands as a museum complex representing the industrial legacy of the Lausitz region and its coal mining traditions.

Visitors can access guided tours along a 1.3-kilometer path that explores both the mechanical structure and the surrounding mining landscape.

The F60 features 380 powered wheels and moves at a maximum speed of 13 meters per minute when operational, demonstrating advanced industrial engineering.
