The Sandberg is a 323 meter high elevation in the eastern Lausitzer Bergland in the Free State of Saxony . It is north of Schlegel . The top of the mountain consists almost entirely of meltwater pebbles and sands of a ground moraine from the Elster glacial period , these are mined here in a sand pit . The thickness of this layer is about eight meters, but was originally thought to have been thirty meters. The gravel and sands are underlain by a fifteen-meter-thick layer of clay , as was discovered during a borehole in Burkersdorf .
In 1800 the later birch mill was built on the mountain . As early as 1817, however, it was removed and brought to its current location in Oberoderwitz with three horse-drawn vehicles . Maps from 1844 show a later built Dutch windmill on the Sandberg , but it has not been preserved.
