The former council quarry Chemnitz supplied Hilbersdorfer Porphyrtuff with which not only innumerable buildings were built in Chemnitz, also the Tulpenkanzel in the Freiberg cathedral consists of this beige-gray-reddish rock.

Fuchsberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Fuchsberg in the Zeisigwald Chemnitz is 398.3 meters high. It was created from the overburden of the porphyry quarry, which is no longer recognizable today.

From the Fuchsberg you have a beautiful view over the city of Chemnitz.
