The environmental situation in the region is still shaped by the industrialisation politics of the first half of the last century, in particular the opencast mining.
The latter, however, remained by and large unconnected to the region's leading economic sectors, chemistry and energy, that were more privileged by the authorities of central economic planning, and so the industry in Leipzig city became more and more outdated (making it highly uncompetitive i.e.
