Community Arzberg
PassailA place that has a lot to offer in the past, but also in the present!
The place name Arzberg is derived from the mining of lead ore in the village, the first documented mention of which dates back to 1242.
The first church in Arzberg - presumably built by miners - was built when mining began. Until 1927, everything revolved around the mining of silver, lead and zinc, after which operations were discontinued due to a lack of income.
Parts of the mine are still accessible today and can be explored on a guided tour. Another part of the mine has been converted and now serves as a maturation store for the award-winning Stollenkäse made with milk from the region. The region is also ideal for hiking, and a tour through the Raabklamm gorge is particularly worthwhile.
