Clausthal, Mining district in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany
Located at 560 meters above sea level in the Harz Mountains, Clausthal features historical mine shafts, industrial facilities, and educational institutions spanning 40 square kilometers.
From the 16th to 19th centuries, Clausthal mines produced nearly half of Germany's silver output, supporting the royal houses of Hanover and Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel.
The Market Church of the Holy Spirit stands as Germany's largest wooden church, displaying traditional baroque architecture from its construction period between 1639 and 1642.
The former railway station now functions as a tourist information center and municipal library, providing services to residents and visitors exploring the mining heritage.
Women known as Pannier carriers transported goods in wicker baskets throughout the mining district, creating a network for exchanging materials and information.
