2025 Miners' Parade — Proven Tradition
The 2025 miners' parade in Marienberg once again drew hundreds of visitors to the mining town in the Erzgebirgskreis. Around 500 'Hauer', 'Steiger', mining guild delegations, and brass bands from all over the Erzgebirge marched in solemn formation through the town center on the 3rd Advent — past the imposing Renaissance market square and St. Mary's Church.
The parade was combined with the Marienberg Christmas Market on the market square, featuring Erzgebirge wood art, mulled wine, and mining songs — part of the UNESCO-recognized Erzgebirge mining culture.
