Schwaz Silver Mine - "Glück auf!"

The World of Mining

In the Middle Ages, Schwaz was the mining center of Europe. About 85% of the world’s silver came from Schwaz, making the city the world’s largest mining metropolis at its peak around 1500, and turning Tyrol into one of the richest regions in Europe. The great merchant families became so influential that, with Schwaz silver, they dictated European politics and the exploration of the New World.
