A weathered stone rests here. This is Hungerborn. A humble yet significant place. For centuries miners gathered here. It was more than just a spring. It was a meeting place. A place to share burdens and hopes.
Hungerborn a now dry spring held a special significance for Freiberg’s miners. Its waters once held reputed healing powers. Miners from all districts converged here. They discussed their challenges and celebrated their successes. The Hungerborn was a vital part of their community. It symbolized unity. It was a place where they found solace.
The spring’s healing properties attracted many. Miners believed the water could cure various ailments. They sought it for comfort. As mining expanded the spring eventually dried up. Its exact location became lost to time. It remains a powerful symbol.

A commemorative stone will be unveiled. It will mark the site. It will bear the years 1400 and 2000. It represents continuity. The miners’ legacy endures.

The Hungerborn stands as a testament to their strength. To their resilience. To their community. It is a place of shared history. A place to remember. A place to honor their legacy.
