Glashütte Silberhütte, Archaeological site and cultural heritage monument in Bärnau, Bavaria, Germany
The Glashütte Silberhütte complex contains remains of historical glassworks facilities, including foundations of production buildings and worker housing structures.
Established in 1614 by Paulus Schierer, the glassworks operated near Silberberg, which derived its name from a silver mine active until the Thirty Years' War.
The site represents the industrial heritage of Bavaria, showcasing the development of glass manufacturing techniques and craftsmanship in the 17th century.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through marked paths in Bärnau, with information panels explaining the historical significance of different structural remains.
Seven glassblowers, a master craftsman, and three workers produced table glass, medicinal bottles, and glass beads at this location around 1660.
