Landscape of ideas, habitat, country of the region
The Erzgebirge is a region of superlatives: today, there are 340,000 inhabitants living here in an area of 1,828 square kilometres. This represents 186 inhabitants per square kilometre. For good reason, the Erzgebirge region can call itself the most populous low mountain area in Germany. In the Erzgebirge, we also score one of the highest density of industry in the Free State of Saxony – thus, we record 110 persons employed in industry per 1000 inhabitants.
We also demonstrate a level of productive enterprises in the economic sector that is 27% greater than the average in Saxony. As we like to put it: If we can imagine it, we do it!.
