The light miner ore carrier from the house of Peter Ulbricht is, along with the light angel, one of the most important figures in the Ore Mountains.
Dressed in traditional Schneeberg costume, he presents himself with a jacket whose golden buttons stand out and give a feeling of nobility.
The miners’ coat of arms is proudly displayed on his belt bag, a symbol of their guild and tradition.
His face radiates expressiveness, characterized by a prominent nose, brown eyes and an impressive black mustache that characterizes his face.
With a heavy trough of ore on his shoulder and a miner’s lamp in his hand, the light miner ore carrier is just emerging from the tunnel. Its walk is powerful and determined, shaped by the centuries-old tradition of miners bringing ore from the depths of the earth to the light of day. The miner’s lamp illuminates his path and casts pale light onto the dark shaft behind him. But his eyes do not reflect fear, but rather determination and pride in the hard work that he and his comrades do every day.
The Lichterbergmann ore carrier embodies not only the physical strength and endurance of the miners, but also their cohesion and their connection to nature and the elements. Its figure rises majestically against the backdrop of the rugged mountain landscape that characterizes the Ore Mountains. It is a symbol of the hard work and sacrifice of the people who live and work in this region and of their unshakable connection to their homeland.
In his hand he not only carries a miner’s lamp, but also hope and belief in a better future for their country and their descendants. The Lichterbergmann Ore Carrier is more than just a statue – it is a living testimony to the history and soul of the Ore Mountains.
