Geological Research in the Tannenberg Area
In 1935, the Deposit Research Office of the Oberbergamt Freiberg began its work in the Tannenberg area. One of their tasks was to examine the greisen masses of the large Tannenberg pinge at Winselburg. This research contributed to the understanding of the geological composition of the area and the potential for tin extraction.
