Excerpt: The SAG/SDAG Wismut was a uranium mining company in East Germany producing 230,400 tonnes of uranium between 1947 and 1990. In 1991, it was transformed into the Wismut GmbH owned by the state of Germany which is now responsible for the recultivation of the former mining and milling areas. The head office of the SDAG Wismut / Wismut GmbH is in Chemnitz-Siegmar. Head office of the Wismut GmbH in Chemnitz-SiegmarThe Erzgebirge Mountains in southern East Germany at the border to the Czech Republic are closely connected to the history of uranium. The metal was discovered in a sample from a silver mine in the mountain range, uranium was produced as a by-product since the early 19th century and as a main product from the 1890s on. The Curies used tailings of a Czech uranium mine in the mountains to discover the Radium and Polonium and radioactive waters were used in several towns for health treatment. After World War II, the Soviet Union became interested in the East German uranium occurrences as a source for its nuclear weapons program. They discovered significant resources and started mining in 1946. In 1947 the Soviet stock company "Wismut" (SAG Wismut, named after the German word for the metal bismuth) was formed. In the following years the company became the most important source for uranium for the Soviet Union and several tens of thousands of people were employed. Safety and environmental standards were very low leading to the exposure of many thousands of workers to dangerous levels of radon and quartz dust leading to lung cancer and silicosis. At the end of 1953 the company was liquidated and the Soviet-German stock company Wismut (SDAG Wismut) was newly founded with the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic owning 50% each. Working and technological standards improved significantly in the following years. Uranium exploration and mining concentrated in the first years after World War II on the old mining areas of the Erzgebirge and adjacent Vogtland Mou
