Eppendorf

Few communities in Saxony have a history as closely tied to the medieval settlement of the Ore Mountains’ northern foothills as Eppendorf. The municipality lies in Mittelsachsen, where open fields and woodland follow the rolling terrain below the Erzgebirge. Eppendorf retains the elongated form of a Waldhufendorf, a settlement type in which farmsteads were arranged along a valley with long strips of land extending behind them. This rural layout distinguishes it from Saxony’s larger industrial centres, while the Ore Mountains remain central to its setting.
