Grießbach

Grießbach is a village and a former municipality in the Ore Mountains in Saxony, Germany.

Since 1850 there has existed a street connecting the village and the next big town, Zschopau.

During World War II Grießbach was for the most parts destroyed by bombs.

After the war the Soviet Union settled down in Grießbach to search for uranium but they only found tons of ore.[citation needed] During the time of the GDR DKK (Deutsches Kühl- und Kältekombinat) opened a factory for the production of refrigerators which were sold to countries all over the eastern European countries.

Today Mogatec uses the factory buildings for the production of garden tools.
