Time span

From 01.07.2023 to 31.12.2025

Abbreviation

LLV Muldenhütten

Project type

Historical-social mediation and development project

The project involves the design and initial prototype implementation of a learning, teaching and educational site at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Muldenhütten as part of the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří mining cultural landscape. Embedded in one of the most impressive slag heap landscapes in the Freiberg mining district, the historic hut complex is located on the banks of the Freiberg Mulde.

Muldenhütten, which was incorporated into Freiberg in 2012, is now an active and future-oriented industrial location in line with Saxony’s new raw materials strategy, particularly with regard to recycling and the circular economy.

Guiding questions for the project:

  • How do you deal with listed but contaminated buildings and mine dumps whose heritage value needs to be explained and can only be experienced to a limited extent?
  • How do you develop a world heritage site in whose immediate surroundings production continues and will continue in the future?
  • How can innovative solutions for today’s issues and current future prospects for a World Heritage site and for geomontane circular economy issues be derived from a site history spanning more than 700 years?
  • How and with which formats can the significance and identification value of the area be communicated in an attractive way across generations?
