Here at the famous Aschergraben, mining was carried out for centuries, and the old tin washing plant was located on the site. In the mid-1950s, the vacation home of the Technical University of Dresden was finally built on this wooded hillside. It was a highly sought-after vacation spot for employees and members of the Dresden University and their families until the end of the division of Germany. Geising has always been a favorite destination for winter and summer vacations for the people of Dresden.
