| Summary | "Geyer und das Obererzgebirge in Sage und Geschichte" by Lungwitz and Grohmann is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the history and folklore of the town of Geyer and its surroundings in the upper Erzgebirge region of Germany. The book combines local history, significant events, and legends associated with Geyer, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the cultural heritage of this area. The opening of the work introduces the town of Geyer, linking its name to the presence of vultures that historically inhabited the local forests. According to local legend, the discovery of valuable tin ore in the area was prompted by a nobleman who, after being harmed by the vultures, ventured into the woods and uncovered the ore while searching for them. This narrative establishes the intertwining of fact and folklore, positioning Geyer within a broader historical context that includes tales of significant figures, notable events (such as its experience during the Thirty Years' War), and its ongoing legacy, all of which provide readers with a vivid picture of the region's rich history.
