Mansfelder Grund-Helbra

Mansfelder Grund-Helbra is an administrative community with eight municipalities in Saxony-Anhalt, including Ahlsdorf, Benndorf, Blankenheim, Bornstedt, Helbra, Hergisdorf, Klostermansfeld, and Wimmelburg. These municipalities operate under a shared administrative structure with Helbra serving as the headquarters.

The Mansfeld region experienced intensive growth during medieval times through copper and silver mining, which shaped the area's economic development. This mining heritage influenced the landscape and settlements for centuries.

The region maintains musical traditions through regular festival performances where local and visiting musicians gather. These events shape the cultural life of the communities and reflect local identity.

The administration in Helbra provides services for all municipalities and is easily accessible from several federal highways. The good transportation connections allow quick access to larger cities in the region.

The area has two artificial lakes, Bad Anna and Neptun-Bad, which formed from abandoned mining pits. These water bodies are now popular recreational spots and show how former industrial sites have been transformed into leisure areas.
