    memorial stone v. 1858 ; to commemorate the tin mining that struck gold here in 1458, which is of local historical importance

    However, the first tin ore was mined as early as 1441 in the Altenberg/Zinnwald region. At least that's what it says on a board at the town hall, where the last funded hunt from 1991 found its place in front of the town hall.
