Marienberg, Mining town in Erzgebirgskreis district, Germany.
The town center of Marienberg features a rectangular layout with a 1.7-hectare market square following Italian Renaissance architectural principles.
Duke Henry the Pious of Saxony established Marienberg in 1521, and by 1540 the region contained more than one thousand mining pits.
St. Mary's Church displays Late Gothic architecture while the Red Tower remains as the final standing structure from the original four corner towers.
Located at 620 meters above sea level, Marienberg connects to multiple municipalities through regional transportation networks in southern Saxony.
The town's mining office, established in 1525, marks Marienberg's central role in the Ore Mountain mining operations and metallurgical developments.
