The Jakobikirche was founded in 1160. In 1887 it became dilapidated, so that the present church was built in the years of 1890-1892 in Neo-Gothic style. The organ is still from the predecessor building from the year 1716. The baptismal font in the Renaissance style from the year 1555. The sandstone chancellery from the year 1564. The altar crucifix made of ivory from the year 1710.

James the Elder (the Latin word 'major' is not translated as 'great' in German), to whom this church in Freiberg was dedicated, belongs, together with his brother, to the closest circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James - to whom he gave the nickname Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have been very temperamental, but were loyal followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His grave in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (Spain) is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.
