impressive reminder for the victims of the mine disaster of August 2, 1869

So far I did not know that Saxony's worst mining accident occurred in today's Freitalerraum in 1869 and that so many miners perished here. I think their appreciation and individual representation on the sacrificial wall is a great thing and nice that this site is maintained to this day.

A place to be amazed

The first firedamp explosions occurred in German hard coal mining in the second half of the 19th century and repeatedly claimed the lives of the miners. The worst Saxon event happened here on August 2, 1869.
