Although Robert Koch, the discoverer of the tubercle bacillus (pathogen of pulmonary tuberculosis) and the cholera pathogen, only spent a few years in this, his parents' house (1854-1862), he was a native of Clausthal and remained here until his high school graduation.

The wooden church in Clausthal is simply a jewel in the market square.

The history of the Mining Museum began in 1884, when the then Mining Captain Adolf Achenbach issued a directive calling on miners to donate special, disused historical mining equipment to a collection for the establishment of a museum. In 1892, it was officially established as the Zellerfeld District Museum. After the merger of the previously independent towns of Zellerfeld and Clausthal to form the twin town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld in 1924, the vacant Zellerfeld Town Hall was occupied, and the museum was reopened on October 8, 1928, at the 58th Annual General Meeting of the Harz Society for History and Archaeology. In the following years, the outdoor area with the show mine was built. Source: Wikipedia

Office building of the State Office for Mining, Energy, and Geology, formerly the Upper Mining Authority. This building was constructed between 1726 and 1730 under the leadership of mining captain Heinrich Albert von dem Busche, replacing the previous building that had burned down in 1725. Over the centuries, many important figures have been guests at the office building, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1777 during his first trip to the Harz Mountains. Source: Display board

The design for the new St. Salvatoris Church was created by master builder Erich Hans Ernst from Wolfenbüttel. It was a Renaissance-style, transept church with a hall. In order to accommodate the alignment of the streets and blocks in Zellerfeld, which had been established after the fire, the church could not be aligned in the classic east-west direction; instead, the main axis runs northeast to southwest. To finance the construction, the local rulers allowed the people of Zellerfeld to dig out the old ore dumps in their free time—that is, to search for ore—and sell it. A commemorative plaque in the northwest vestibule also commemorates this. In this way, over 20,000 thalers were raised. The total construction cost was 38,000 thalers, with the copper roof alone costing 13,280 thalers. Source: Wikipedia
