Rochlitz was once famous as an old mining town. At that time, silver was the main target of all efforts, then hard coal, brown coal and precious stones, even gold was washed. Mining began in 1468, and the extraction of ores was not stopped until the end of the 18th century.

The underground mining of Wiederau agate from 1717 to 1721 became famous. In Dresden, it was mainly used to make jewelry.
