Erzgebirgskreis, Administrative district in Saxony, Germany.
The Erzgebirgskreis district spans 1,827 square kilometers along the Czech border, encompassing the western and central sections of the Ore Mountains.
The district was established on August 1, 2008, through the Saxon district reform, combining multiple former administrative regions into a single entity.
Mining traditions shape the region through underground galleries, processing facilities, and specialized architecture developed across centuries of metal extraction.
