Wildemann, Mining village in Oberharz, Germany.
Description
Wildemann is a mining settlement at about 390 meters elevation in the Harz Mountains, situated between the valleys of the Innerste and Spiegel rivers. The area is marked by forest landscape and several historical mining shafts, including the Wildemanns Fundgrube.
History
The settlement was founded in 1529 by miners from the Ore Mountains and began silver mining operations in 1533. These early mining beginnings shaped the identity and character of the place through the centuries.
Culture
The Maria Magdalenen mountain church sits at the heart of the settlement and reflects centuries of mining tradition. The place shows how miners and their families lived together and practiced their faith in a tight-knit community.
Practical
Visitors will find an information office at Bohlweg 5 that provides details about local hiking trails, winter sports options, and guided mine tours of the 19-Lachter-Stollen shaft. Plan your visit for the warmer months when access to trails and outdoor areas is easiest.
Did you know?
At the Klein-Tirol mountain farm, visitors can see Harzer Rote Höhenvieh cattle, a breed developed specifically for this mountain region. This rare breed demonstrates the connection between mining, farming, and the local landscape that once sustained the community.
