    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.
