The Museum für mittelalterlichen Bergbau im Erzgebirge, situated in Dippoldiswalde, is a unique destination that offers a glimpse into the ancient mining history of the region. The museum, which opened its doors on August 24, 2018, houses a collection of archaeological findings that were discovered beneath the city. These artifacts provide valuable insights into the mining practices and techniques used during the Middle Ages.
Unique 15th Century Wheel
One of the museum's most notable exhibits is the remains of a unique wheel from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. This wheel, which measures 11.5 meters in diameter, was discovered in 2016 in Bad Schlema. It serves as a testament to the advanced engineering and mining techniques of the time.
