    Between 1854 and 1856, a romantic castle ruin was erected on the Schreckenberg, which today still characterizes the image of the mountain. The castle tower with remnants of ruins was financed by the private funds of wealthy Annabergians and by the local Eisenstuck & Co company and built by the unemployed and day laborers. The initiator is the secret government councilor Carl Friedrich Reiche-Eisenstuck. At a time of severe economic recession, the construction measure served in particular as emergency work - in the modern sense a job creation measure.

      Among other things, silver was found and mined in the Schreckenberg. The Markus Röhling tunnel system is located under the Schreckenberg.
