🌳📜✨The statue of the originator of sustainability in Freiberg's Albertpark is dedicated to the important Chief Mining Officer Hans Carl von Carlowitz (1645–1714). It is a key stop on the Freiberg Silver Trail, which was completed in 2024. His work: In 1713, he published his major work, "Sylvicultura oeconomica" (Economic Forestry). The core principle: In it, he demanded that only as much wood should be harvested from a forest as can regrow through planned reforestation. With this, he laid the foundation for the modern forestry principle and, later, the general principle of sustainability.

The former ramparts of the city fortifications were transformed into parkland – the promenade ring around the old city wall, laid out in 1784, is almost completely preserved. In 1894, a section was redesigned in the (Neo-Baroque) style, featuring the Swedish Monument, a grand staircase, and a circular basin with a fountain. The flowerbeds around the fountain basin are replanted with ornamental flowers every year. https://www.brunnenturmfigur.de/index.php?cat=Brunnen%20und%20Wasserspiele%2Fin%20Sachsen%20und%20Sachsen-Anhalt&page=Freiberg
