Freiberg – a city with a centuries-long mining tradition! The Freiberg region is one of the oldest, most productive, and arguably most famous ore mining areas in Central Europe. The region is known for its rich mineral deposits. However, Freiberg has become world-famous for its unique silver minerals, which were found in particularly high quality and formation! Recently, another attraction has been added to the classic collections of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg: the international exhibition terra mineralia in Freudenstein Castle, which presents crystals and show specimens of the world's best in several large halls. Detailed information about Freiberg, the TU Bergakademie Freiberg with its collections and the new exhibition terra mineralia with all its mineral treasures can be found in this monograph.
