This has unfortunately been going on for decades. They bulldozed many many places. There's a Wikipedia list. It also says over one hundred thousand people have been displaced just for brown coal mining in Germany. Here's a map of the largest brown coal mining area. The grey villages have been destroyed and the orange ones will be next. It's sad how this destruction can go on while everyone else is much more concerned about luxury issues like speed limits
