The historic "Alte Elisabeth" mine in Freiberg was one of the most productive silver mines in the well-known Himmelfahrt Fundgrube in the 16th century. Today, the site serves as a training and research mine for the TU Bergakademie Freiberg and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Ore Mountains Mining Region since 2019. In addition to the authentic surface facilities, the mine particularly fascinates visitors with a fully functional 1848 beam engine and a unique underground prayer room with an organ.
