Abstract
After 800 years of mining activities, coal mining came to an end in the district of Aachen in 1992. Dewatering measures were terminated at the end of 1993/ beginning of 1994. Since then, mine water in the coal mining districts of Aachen and South-Limburg has been allowed to recover in a controlled, step-by-step-manner in order to ultimately achieve natural groundwater conditions. During mine water recovery potential impacts to the ground surface are anticipated and acted upon; it is assumed that within several years following completion of mine water recovery all major impacts of mining activities in the area will have ceased.
