    Hiking

    The inventor of sustainability. Along the Silver Trail in Freiberg.

    Info:

    The figure of the inventor of sustainability symbolizes Chief Mining Officer Hannß Carl von Carlowitz (1645–1714), who lived in Freiberg for 25 years.

    The Silver Trail in Freiberg is an interactive trail that leads through the city center and uses larger-than-life silver figures to depict the history of the city and its mining industry.
    Translated by
    Hans Carl von Carlowitz, actually Johann "Hannß" Carl von Carlowitz, was a German cameralist, royal Polish and electoral Saxon chamberlain and mining councillor, and chief mining officer of the Ore Mountains. He wrote the first complete work on forestry with Sylvicultura oeconomica, or household report and natural instructions for wild tree cultivation (1713) and is considered to be the main creator of the concept of forest sustainability.
