Lützerath (German pronunciation: [ˈlʏtsəʁaːt] ) was a hamlet in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, between Aachen and Düsseldorf. In 2013, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled in favour of the expansion of the Garzweiler surface mine; in January 2023, Lützerath was eradicated to make way for the opencast mining of Garzweiler II; it will eventually be replaced with a lake.
