The Freiberg mining landscape is the oldest and most important silver mining area in the Ore Mountains. The figure of the miner embodies Freiberg's mining history. The beginnings of the mining capital Freiberg lie on the Schüppchenberg, where the miner stands. It is said that the legendary silver discovery took place here in 1168. The elder miners depicted had a special role; they represented the interests of the miners and organized social security. According to the sculptor Friedhelm Schelter, the miner shows that prosperity and happiness come from hard work and honest work.

Info:

Happy Miner
Silver figure, on Schüppchenberg.

Posture and gestures of the
eldest miner:
Thoughtful but also
contented miner, whose
responsibility for the
entire miners' association and
also for the quality of the ore-bearing
rock mined can be sensed.

The Silver Trail in Freiberg
is an adventure trail that
leads through the city center
and, with eleven larger-than-life silver figures, depicts the history
of the city and mining.
