Satzung is a village in the Saxon municipality of Marienberg, which is in the district of Erzgebirgskreis in the German Ore Mountains.

Geography

Location

Satzung lies about 12 kilometres south of Marienberg in the Ore Mountains on the German-Czech border. Dense forests separate the village on both the German and Czech sides from its neighbours. Only the field clearings of the abandoned village of Jilmová in the east border immediately on those of Satzung. About 1 kilometre north of the village centre lies the 890-metre-high Hirtstein, some 4 kilometres south-southwest, on Czech territory, lies the 993-metre-high Jelení hora (Haßberg). The Black Pockau river flows eastwards here, marking the state border. The K 8104 district road (Kreisstraße) runs through the village, joining the Staatsstraße 216 running northward from Reitzenhain to Olbernhau.
