The Wellner Cutlery and Tableware Factory is another extraordinary and unique example of a post-mining industry based on the discovery of German silver, a silver-like copper-zinc-nickel alloy, which formed the basis for the development of the important cutlery and tableware manufacturing industry in Aue. The high-grade products manufactured here were sold worldwide. The company was founded back in 1834. Its prestigious administrative and production buildings date from the start of the 20th century.
