Siebenschlehener Pochwerk, Historical ore processing facility in Schneeberg, Germany
The Siebenschlehener Pochwerk contains multiple processing buildings with slate-covered saddle roofs, half-timbered construction, and two large six-meter waterwheels for stamping machinery.
Built in 1752, this facility processed cobalt ores from numerous mines in the region, as many neighboring sites lacked the necessary technical equipment for mineral refinement.
The permanent exhibition displays minerals, ores, documents, and models that demonstrate the traditional mining practices and mineral processing methods of the Ore Mountains.
The museum opens Thursday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, with adult admission at 3 euros and student tickets at 2 euros.
The complex includes four 18th-century cobalt chambers, which stored ores from different mines until they were processed for the production of cobalt blue dye.
