Schneeberg, Mining municipality in Erzgebirgskreis, Germany
Located at 470 meters elevation in the Ore Mountains, Schneeberg extends across a mineral-rich landscape near the cities of Aue and Zwickau.
The discovery of silver deposits in the late 15th century initiated the establishment of Schneeberg, leading to its development as a significant mining center.
The St. Wolfgang Church, built in Late Gothic style, contains valuable artworks by Lucas Cranach the Elder and represents the town's mining prosperity.
The town connects to major routes through Bundesstraße 93 and 169, providing direct access to Leipzig and surrounding Saxon destinations.
The Schneeberg timber transport ditch, stretching 15 kilometers, supplied wood to local smelteries from 1556 through an intricate water system.
