The history of Goslar is closely related to the mining of metal ores in the current district of Rammelsberg. Founded in 922, the city became the seat of the emperors of the Salic dynasty, who built an imperial palas here (German: Kaiserpfalz) to better control silver production.
In 1992, the medieval old town of Goslar with the mine in Rammelsberg was entered on the UNESCO cultural heritage list.
