Silberklang & Berggeschrey (Silver sound & mountain cry)
The secrets, life's work and lifestyle of the world-famous organ builder Gottfried Silbermann - divulged by his garrulous housekeeper Anna Magdalena Poltermann - are the focus of this guided tour through the historic old town.
You will be whisked away into the life and events of 18th century Freiberg. Because of its wealth in silver, the Silver City experienced a real boom during this period. History and "tales of history" as well as legend and truth can get mixed up when Ms Poltermann gets going.
During the tour you will taste a genuine Freiberg silver herb and a sample of the legendary „Freiberger Eierschecke“ (cheese cake with egg custard) It is not only at this point that you will notice that the tour is delicious.
