The Evangelical Lutheran St. George's Church in Schwarzenberg/Erzgebirge is an outstanding example of Baroque sacred architecture and, together with the neighboring castle, dominates the cityscape of the old town. **History and Construction** The origins of the parish date back to the 12th century. The present church was built between 1690 and 1699 according to plans by the Lößnitz master builder Johann Georg Roth, as the previous church on the lower market square had become too small and dilapidated. Half of the building site was donated by the Saxon Elector Johann Georg III and the other half by Balthasar Lehmann, the Schwarzenberg Oberzehnder. Construction was carried out by master mason Johann Georg Pauli and master carpenter Samuel Georg. The church, designed as a transverse church, was consecrated on October 22, 1699. **Architecture and Furnishings** The interior of the church impresses with its cantilevered wooden ceiling, added in 1728 and considered a technical masterpiece with a clear width of 34 × 18 meters. The Baroque furnishings include a magnificently carved altar, an artfully wrought choir screen from 1721, crafted by the Schwarzenberg master blacksmith Zacharias Georgi, as well as a Baroque pulpit and a surrounding gallery with numerous boxes. **Music and Organ** St. George's Church is an important center of sacred music. In 1993, a new organ by the Hermann Eule company from Bautzen was installed. It has 39 stops on slider chests and is based on historical models. Concerts are held here regularly, including the "Music Summer in St. Georgen" concert series and the internationally renowned Erzgebirge Music Festival. **Current Condition** Despite its structural integrity, the church is showing signs of age-related damage. Cracks in the masonry and leaky windows are endangering the building's structure. Parts of the gallery had to be closed off in 2018 due to the risk of falling. A comprehensive renovation is necessary to preserve the church as a spiritual and cultural center.

The moated castle is also known as Hofwall and was probably built in the middle of the 12th century around 1162 to protect the road that passed by. The castle was destroyed during a Hussite invasion. Only the 14 m high tower, which is still preserved today, was preserved. It once had wooden structures and extensions. The moated castle served as a mansion for Leonhard and Nickel von Tannenberg around 1420. Parts of a broken bell were found in the remains of the castle complex in 1770, suggesting that the castle may have had its own chapel. In 1995 and 1996, conservation measures were carried out on the listed Passklausen Tower. The former water-bearing ditch has been preserved except for a section that was filled in in the northern area. The facility was placed under monument protection at the end of 1959.

A landmark of the city of Schwarzenberg, visible from afar.

This castle, which dates back to the 14th century, is located directly at the confluence of the Zschopau and Roter Pfütze rivers. Today, a support association takes care of the administration of the buildings and the attached museum. In the idyllic castle park you can discover over 30 different tree species.

It's worth a trip here, but it's very busy on the Advent weekends🙈

The survey is primarily of historical significance. This is where the roots of Annaberg silver ore mining lie. In October 1491, Caspar Nietzel came across a silver vein not far from the Frohnauer Obermühle. As a result, in 1496 the “Neustadt am Schockenberg” was built on the opposite bank of the Sehm, which was soon given the name Sankt Annaberg.

The church history in Schwarzenberg is probably almost as old as the castle, which was built around 1150, because it was common to build a chapel when establishing a settlement. The current church building of St. Georgen, which together with the castle forms Schwarzenberg's landmark, was built between 1690 and 1699 after the little church on the lower market had become dilapidated and too small. The Reformation had already arrived in Schwarzenberg in 1529. https://www.st-georgen-schwarzenberg.de/
