Everything comes from the mine in the Ore Mountains

Information  

This non-fiction book offers a comprehensive overview of the development of mining in the Ore Mountains and its impact on the economic development in Saxony. It is very suitable to inform about the UNESCO world heritage "Montanregion Erzgebirge / Krusne hory".
A rich tradition of miners has developed during the 800 years of mining. It is lovingly maintained today. This is all the more difficult because most of the mines, metallurgical plants and processing plants have been closed due to the lack of profitability today. It is thanks to the many members of the mining associations who look after the numerous show mines and museum objects and preserve them for posterity.
The book has a special value because it contains numerous pictures showing historical objects as they are no longer visible today. Entertaining are the articles about the individual objects, which arouse interest in excursions and visits underground.
"Good luck" on a visit to Saxony's industrial and mining history.
