I am not an admirer of rocks and minerals , but this show captivated me so much that I spent there almost 3 hours.
It is the largest private collection of minerals in the world and has about 3500 minerals.
This show has a number of interactive elements for example you can measure activity of various minerals through Gaiger-Muller device. Among the greatest experience I rate exhibition of minerals that glow in the dark!
You can see even meteorites.
Ticket costs 8 euros/person (children 4euros) and you can borrow audio system with information about the exhibition in many languages (German, English, French, Russian, Polish and Czech).

The Freiberg Cathedral is one of the sublimest hall churches in Saxony and is one of the cultural centers of Freiberg. It is widely known for the Golden Arch, both of the organs built by Gottfried Silbermann, the miners’ and the tulip pulpit and for much more. The connection of the Funeral Chapel of the Electoral Family and the gothic cloister, notable for its collection of Epitaphs and sepulchral monuments of the family “von Schönberg”, is an architectonic ensemble of world class. Exceptional pieces of art from eight centuries allure ten thousands of visitors annually to attend the Freiberg Cathedral to watch or to listen to various Concerts. On visiting terms you can either watch for yourself or you can book a guided tour or concert tickets in the our Domladen and have yourself enjoy the unique acquaintance of the room, the sound and the atmosphere of a feistily church.

Very rich and beautiful old protestant church in a city with great history. If you're in Freiberg it will be a shame if you will miss it.

to me the exhibition of Minerals from all over the world is an absolut MUST for visitores! There nothing equivalent anywhere of the globus like Terra Mineralia. On the other hand the reconstructured building houses one of the most impressive archievs, an wonderfull wedding room and at the end of your tour in summertimes an nice German beergarden!

Im ehemaligen. Silber- und heutige Lehrbergwerk der TU Bergakademie "Reiche Zeche" werden historische und moderne Aspekte des untertägigen Erzbergbaus sehr lebendig und anschaulich vermittelt - kein Wunder, ist doch das Bergwerk gleichzeitig Lehr- und Ausbildungsgrube der Bergakademie

Очень жаль, что мы пришли всего за 40 минут до закрытия, и не успели на экскурсию.
Интересные экспозиции, особенно понравились парадные молотки горняков. Ну и по самой экспозиции видно, что горняки в этом городе играли не последниюю роль в жизни общества.

Nach dem Umzug auf der Burgstraße ist die Tourist-Information kaum wieder zu erkennen ... Das Ambiente gefällt mir, die internationale Prospektauswahl ist reichlich und die Mitarbeiterin kann meine Frage nach dem Namen der Kaffeerösterei Momo sehr gut beantworten ...

Freiberg is a lovely small town worth paying a visit. Its market square is nice and gives the opportunity for a relaxing walk. The surrounding buildings are fine and the town is well organised.

Un po' da ricercare ed autocostruire, ma partendo dal primo piano del rettorato, poi visitando la città osservando bene le insegne, si scopre la storia della più antica istituzione di formazione in mineralogia, metallurgia e studi geo-minerari europei ora università tecnica ben più articolata.
