Raw Materials

 

Treasures sought-after on the global market

Saxony-Anhalt is a federal state that is rich in high-quality natural resources. Brown coal, potash and rock salt, natural gas, raw materials for building materials and industrial minerals are mined here. These are important for the adequate and affordable supply of the local economy.

However, with a total production quantity of more than 60 million tonnes, the state also makes a significant contribution to supplying Germany as a whole with raw materials. And even far beyond the national borders, people know what is produced here: the “treasures” from Saxony-Anhalt are sought-after on the global market.
