In the mid-19th century, the first mining activities began in the southwest of Goitzsche, near the villages of Petersroda and Holzweißig.[3] Following the lignite seam, mining progressed from west to east. Favored by the opening of the current Magdeburg–Leipzig and Trebnitz–Leipzig railway lines, the sales market for lignite expanded to Halle and Leipzig, among other places. The increased demand for electrical energy and fossil fuels in the 19th and 20th centuries led in 1908 to the opening of the Leopold open-cast mine (from 1945 to 1962 Holzweißig–Ost) and in 1958 to the creation of the Holzweißig-West open-cast mine.[3] The Neuhäuser See originated from the former Holzweißig-West lignite open-cast mine. It is named after the Neuhaus estate, which was demolished in 1976 along with the village of Paupitzsch. The Holzweißig-West open-cast mine was operated from 1958 to 1980. Other sources report usage until 1991. The lake was flooded from 1993 to 2005.[1] Overflowing water is channeled via the Goitzsche into the Mulde. Since 1997, the area has been renatured and stable embankments have been created. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuh%C3%A4user_See

The Neuhäuser See (also Neuhauser See) is an opencast mine residual lake of approximately 155 hectares, which was created by flooding the former Holzweißig-West opencast mine. The lake is located in the Central German Lake District, south of the Goitzsche nature reserve and north of the town of Delitzsch. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuh%C3%A4user_See

For the biker lingering before this small, sacred monument, which commemorates a former church, I offer the observer a key quote from Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963), whom Wikipedia recognizes as "one of the most influential Christian apologists of the modern era": "I believe in Christianity the way I believe the sun has risen, not just because I see it, but because through it I can see everything else."
