Lausitzer und Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft

LMBV (Lausitzer und Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft) is a publicly owned German company that emerged from the privatization process of the former East German lignite combines. It is responsible for ending non-privatizable lignite mining, managing mining legacies in Lusatia and Central Germany, and marketing rehabilitated properties. Its work includes water treatment, securing underground shafts and tunnels, stabilizing slopes, soil preparation, and creating new land uses.

The history of LMBV begins with the privatization process of the former lignite combines and stock corporations in the East German coal districts. The then LMBV Holding was entered in the commercial register on 09.08.1994. The merger of MBV and LBV into LMBV-Holding took effect economically on 31 August 1995, 24:00 / 01 September 1995, 00:00. Previously, the Lausitzer Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft (LBV) and the Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft (MBV) carried out rehabilitation and redevelopment tasks in the districts. Since 1 January 1995, LMBV mbH as holding company in Berlin (there until 2006) took over the targeted termination of non-privatizable lignite mining, the management of mining legacies in Lusatia and Central Germany, and the marketing of rehabilitated properties. LMBV is a public enterprise, today owned by the federal government (shareholder BMGB for the Treuhandanstalt and later the BMF). On 22 December 1995, MBV and LBV merged with the holding LMBV.

Public-law entity managing the environmental and structural legacy of lignite mining.
