Ruptly's drone captured astonishing footage of Ferropolis, an open air museum of old industrial machines, in Graefenhainichen on Wednesday.
Opened in 1995, Ferropolis, also known as the 'city of steel' sits on the peninsula of the former mining Golpa-Nord. The five enormous excavators boast nearly 100 years of industrial heritage. They measure up to 30 metres (98 feet) high, 120 metres (394 feet) long, and weigh up to 1,980 tons.
Nowadays the site provides a wide array of activities, events and festivals. Popular music festivals like "Melt!" and "Splash" have attracted up to 25,000 visitors each summer as well as world stars such as Bjoerk Tocotronic, Linkin Park and Skunk Anansie.
