insights into the exhibition
The exhibition not only focuses on technical developments in mining, but also addresses the environmental degradation disorder caused by these activities. Visitors are confronted with the complex relationship between wealth and beauty, which were made possible by mining, and the negative aspects such as despair and death. This dual view raises the question of which teachings from history can be drawn for the future of the region.
The exhibition particularly emphasizes the solidarity that was cultivated among people in adverse circumstances, and the current exploration of deposits by investors is viewed critically. This gives the exhibition a current reference by dealing with sustainability and ethical questions about mining, which is also shown in detail on the website of Chemnitz2025 Chemnitz2025 . With its mixture of historical and contemporary perspectives, "Silverglanz & Kumpeltzt" offers a deep insight into the culture of mining and its inseparable connection with the identity of the Erzgebirge region. Visitors are invited to embark on an informative and emotionally appealing journey through the history and presence of mining.| Details | |
