Not far from the German city of Leipzig is the town Hoyersdorf. When it found the deposits of brown coal and a coal mining company bought the entire town, the residents decided to save the old church, built in the 13th century. Namely, it was decided to move it to the next town Born. For this building weighing 833 tons was lifted off the ground and shipped to a special unit of 20 homemade axes. To overcome the 12-kilometer distance to Bourne, it took as many as six days since truck can move at a speed of no more than 2 km / h. I went around the whole transport 4 million. Euro.
