Altstadt von Freiberg - Round, medieval layout of the old town Freiberg in Sachsen, Obermarkt - geo.hlipp.de - 9880 - "Upper market" and town hall

Freiberg was founded in the 1160s, on the northeastern slopes of the Saxon Ore Mountains. It became the largest city and prime trading centre in the Margraviate of Meissen (precursor of the state of Saxony) during the high Middle Ages. The nearby Ore Mountains' abundance in silver ore, combined with the right of coinage, made Freiberg one of the richest towns, and the Electorate of Saxony one of the richest states in Germany. Silver mining ceased in the 20th century. Since then, Freiberg has undergone a structural transformation, redefining itself as a centre of high technology with semiconductor production and solar engineering, belonging to the so-called "Silicon Saxony".

The Bergakademie (mining academy) was established in 1765 as one of the first colleges for mining technology in the world. It has been promoted to a university. It defines itself as a "natural resources university" and offers courses and research related to geosciences, materials and environmental science, energy research, engineering, mathematics and natural science. The town has about 42,000 inhabitants, 5,000 of whom are university students. Due to the focus on natural sciences and technology, more than two thirds of the students are male.
