1. Knappen, Heilige und eine lange Schicht
In this book, details from the area of mining, which was so important for the development of Saxony, are selected and 'arranged' so that readers who are 'familiar with mining' as well as those who are 'unfamiliar with mining' and do not speak 'mining' can still come into contact with them today. For example, the miner's greeting 'Glück auf!', the symbol 'hammer and iron' and the origin of the occupational title 'squire'. Answers are also sought to the question of why so many towns, churches and mines in the Protestant Erzgebirge bear the names of Catholic saints. And what do such sayings as 'It crackles in the woodwork' or 'All scratched' have to do with mining? In addition, the exhibition questions what Karl May or Stülpner-Karl on the one hand and the world's first ship lift on the other, but also rake masters, underground passages, divining rods and much more have to do with mining in the Ore Mountains. The bridge from the past to the present is supported by numerous photos and illustrations as well as tourist recommendations.
2. Hinab, die Glocke ruft
In most mining towns, a mountain bell rings at five o'clock in the morning. Connoisseurs of mining know that the bell used to ring to wake people up and to start work. But it was not only a time signal, it was also a call to prayer. Anyone who wants to explore mining traditions will very quickly come across the roots of Erzgebirge piety, which can be found not least in the miners' devotions. In 'Hinab, die Glocke ruft' (Down, the Bell Calls), several richly illustrated chapters report above all on this historically evolved custom of the Erzgebirge miners. The period covered ranges from the 16th century to the present day.
