The Alte Mordgrube (often just Mordgrube) is a disused mine south of Freiberg in Saxony. It was one of the most important mines in the Freiberg mountain area. The murder pit is on the Zugspitze, on the border between Zug, Berthelsdorf, Brand and Erbisdorf.

The 19th century buildings on the mine dump were renovated between 2003 and 2005 and are now largely used for residential purposes. The restaurant was also reopened as part of the renovation.
The entire complex has been part of the Erzgebirge Mining Region UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. There are corresponding information boards on the buildings on the site.

In 2020, the entire site was sold to an investor who is having the converted boiler, machine and shaft house extensively renovated and converted. In the future, the building will be used as an upscale restaurant and small hotel.
