The Ore Mountains, straddling Saxony and the Czech Republic, have long been a key source of silver and tin in Central Europe. While mining in Freiberg was first documented in 1168, LiDAR scans and archaeological findings reveal Bronze Age tin mining dating back to 2500 BC. This early expertise spread across Europe by 2000 BC. Recent discoveries at Dippoldiswalde and Niederpöbel show medieval mining was more extensive than previously known. Advanced technologies like LiDAR, GPS, AR/VR, and Unreal Engine have helped visualize these vast underground complexes. This region played a pivotal role in transforming mining from a craft into a large-scale industry—laying groundwork for the Industrial Revolution. Mining towns in the Ore Mountains were deliberately founded, with planned infrastructure like town halls, guild systems, and public services. This development spurred innovations in hydraulic engineering, metallurgy, and urban planning, while creating demand for timber, stone, clay, and ores. The region's economic and technological advancements helped pave the way to the modern world.
