12. IBA FORUMENERGY Route through Lusatia’s Industrial HeritageDuring its theme year of 2007 the "Energy Region of Lusatia", the IBA will present the ENERGY route that was just recently ceremonially opened. The route links ten outstanding monuments to the industrial era (among others, Knappenrode mining museum, Plessa power station and Marga Garden City) together to form one tourist attraction and has catapulted it in the national public eye. This feat was also achieved by integrating the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH). To mark this occasion, the 12th IBA Forum will be devoted to the ENERGY route and present its concept and integration into the ERIH. In addition, the forum will also report on the "Coal I Steam I Light Adventure Route" in Saxony-Anhalt as well as the TICCIH Conference 2009 "Industrial Heritage, Ecology and Economy" that IBA helped organise. The IBA Forum will take place on Wednesday, July 11 from 4 to 7 PM in building 3 on the IBA Terraces. Please register with Nicole Urbanek by July 2: urbanek@iba-see.de |
