The old town of Goslar, which is still largely surrounded by former defensives and green spaces, is one of the most important closed-preserved historical cities in the world.
The UNESCO World Heritage Sites: mines of Rammelsberg, historic old town of Goslar and the Upper Harz Water Management System display a thousand years of mining culture. This unique hydropower energy supply system as well as the historic old town, reflect the economic importance of mining in the region. Nowhere else in the world can you see this mutual balance of technical, social and economic developments which occurred over a period of 1,000 years of historical mining.
