Formed through the 1994 merger of Dittersdorf, Weißbach and Schlößchen, Amtsberg grew into a municipality on the northern slopes of Saxony’s Ore Mountains. It lies in the Erzgebirgskreis, southeast of Chemnitz, where farmland and woodland lead towards the uplands. The three former villages still give Amtsberg a dispersed character rather than a single compact centre. Their union is a recent chapter in local history, while the wider Erzgebirge has long been shaped by mining and mountain craftsmanship.
