Schwarzenberg, Mining town in Ore Mountains, Germany.
The town center of Schwarzenberg features narrow streets leading to a central marketplace surrounded by traditional Saxon buildings and merchant houses.
Established in 1150 to protect trade routes between Pleissnerland and Bohemia, Schwarzenberg developed from a fortification built by Duke Heinrich II of Austria.
The St. George's Church and Schwarzenberg Castle form the primary architectural elements of the town, with the castle now housing the PERLA CASTRUM museum.
The Schwarzenberg train station connects to regional railways, providing direct access to major cities like Chemnitz and regular services throughout the Ore Mountains.
From May to June 1945, Schwarzenberg remained temporarily unoccupied by Allied forces, creating a period later referenced as the Republic of Schwarzenberg.
