Mining began in Cunersdorf in the 16th century. Due to its high yields, the mine quickly gained renown. From 1536, a yield of 2,409 guilders per share was achieved within two and a quarter years. This was primarily due to a very rich silver ore vein with silver contents of up to 40%. However, yields declined again in the following years.[2] During the sinking of a pilot shaft, the year 1551 was discovered at a depth of more than 125 m.[3] The current entrance to the Dorothea adit was created in 1853.[4] Initially, only silver ores were mined; later, nickel, copper, uranium, and cobalt ores were added.[3] After the Second World War, in 1946/47, the SAG Wismut began searching for uranium in Annaberg-Buchholz, including in the Himmlisch Heer Dorothea mine. Uranium mining was short-lived and ended in 1958. Source: Wikipedia

Herkules-Frisch-Glück show mine With the traditional miner's greeting Glück Auf, we welcome you to the oldest mine in Saxony. After climbing 250 steps, you will be greeted by a unique atmosphere at a depth of 80 meters. In the middle of two marble halls and underground lakes, an educational and entertaining tour provides impressive insights into the mining activities of earlier days. If you want, you can try your hand at marble mining in the Herkules-Frisch-Glück show mine.

The "Freudenstolln" was already started in 1592 by Jacob Uthmann, but he had to drive it before he reached the underground works of "St. Briccius” had to be discontinued for financial reasons. After its completion in the 19th century it was later the deepest drainage tunnel of the pit and brought 35 pools (approx. 70m) greater depth under the "Tiefen Briccius Stolln" and also drains the pit "Holy Trinity". The originally hammered tunnel was expanded in cross-section by the "shooting" that had been introduced in the meantime. In 1796 the remaining hat house was built and it was not until 1892 that the mining of silver-bearing copper ores on the eastern slope of the Pöhlberg was finally stopped. There is a rest area with seating for hiking groups on the heap.
