Aue-Bad Schlema

Aue-Bad Schlema has served as a mining centre in Saxony since the 15th century. The municipality lies in the western Ore Mountains, where the Schwarzwasser meets the Zwickauer Mulde at Aue and the Schlemabach runs through Bad Schlema. Silver and other ores shaped the older settlements; after 1945, the Soviet-German Wismut enterprise made the Schlema district one of East Germany’s major uranium-mining areas. Mining ended in 1990, and remediation transformed much of the former industrial terrain. Bad Schlema is now known for its radon spa tradition, while Aue retains the compact character of a Mulde valley town.
