	Jáchymov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jáchymov (in German originally Thal, later Sankt Joachimsthal or Joachimsthal, as it is best known in English) is a spa town in north-west Bohemia in the Czech Republic belonging to the Karlovy Vary Region, formerly Karlsbad.
		At the beginning of the 16th century silver was found in the area of Joachimsthal.
		The fame of Joachimsthal for its ore mining and smelting works attracted the scientific attention of the doctor Georg Bauer (better known by the Latin form of his name, Georgius Agricola) in the late 1520s, who based his pioneering metallurgical studies on his observations made here.

		In the parish are, besides Joachimsthal and the above-mentioned hamlets, the villages Neustadt, Dürnberg, Maria-Sorg, Wörlsberg, and Wörlsgrün.
		Their inhabitants are considered citizens of Joachimsthal, with the exception of those of the village Ober-Brand who are subjects of the city.
		A few years ago, some citizens of Joachimsthal built a tower-like building on the highest point of the Sonnenwirbel [mountain], from where (as it is the highest point in the Erzgebirge range) one enjoys a complete view in the more distant reaches of Saxony and Bohemia.

		This led to the foundation of the town of Sankt Joachimsthal (the valley of Saint Joachim), soon to become the largest mining centre in Europe with the relatively large population of 20 000 inhabitants, at a time when Prague, the capital of Bohemia, had around 50 000.
		By the middle of the sixteenth century, depletion of the mines and a lack of pumping machines needed for deeper mining made it difficult to compete with silver from the new American colonies, which was arriving in increasing quantities on the European market.
		It is difficult to estimate with precision the quantity of uranium produced for this purpose during the nineteenth century, but it is probably in the region of 300 to 400 tonnes, of which a small fraction came from Cornwall and later from Portugal and Colorado, USA.

		Of all the springs of the world, those of Joachimsthal and of Nellas are probably the richest in emanations, for these springs originate in mines of uranium metal, which yield radium in considerable quantities.

		The effects on the thyroid gland are evidenced by the fact that after the use of radium emanations, as has been demonstrated experimentally, there follows an increase of the processes of oxidation, a rise of temperature, and a number of other evidences of increased activity of the thyroid gland.

		In the case of the taler, the new and important world coin, it is its provenance, the Joachimsthal (Joachim's Valley), in Bohemia that is significant.
		The taler was born when in 1484 Duke Sigismund of the Tyrol thought it would be of advantage to use the silver from his mines near Schwatz to produce large silver coins.
		The coin from the Joachimsthal became so popular that soon it was only referred to as the Joachimsthaler and then simply taler.

		Joachimsthal was a large village in the mountainous border-land between Saxony and Bohemia; mines had lately been discovered in its neigbbourhood, and it was rapidly growing into a prosperous little town; it had embraced the Reformed religion, and was distinguished by its 141 good schools.
		Matthesius had been converted by reading accidentally some of Luther's tracts, and left the grammar-school of Joachimsthal of which he was rector, to become again a student at Wittenberg, and hear the lectures of Melancthon and Luther.
		From Wittenberg he returned as pastor to Joachimsthal, where he laboured for the rest of his life, greatly cherished by its somewhat rough and mixed population, who were very proud of their 142 pastor's eloquence and singularly pious and charitable life.

		Metal ores were mined in Schneeberg, on the German side of the mountains, beginning in the fifteenth century, and in Joachimsthal, on what is now the Czechoslovakian side, beginning in the sixteenth century.26~30 Both areas were later mined for radioactive ores.
		In 1924, Ludwig and Lorenser31 reported that radioactivity could be measured in the air and water in the mines of Schneeberg and might contribute to the development of lung cancer.
		Pirchan and Sikl46 suggested in 1932 that radioactivity was the most probable cause of the Joachimsthal cancers, on the basis of the finding of radioactivity in both Schneeberg and Joachimsthal mines, the occurrence of lung-cancer in both locations, and the long exposure of underground miners to radioactivity.

	Georgius Agricola (1494-1555)
		He took his degree in 1526 and became a practicing doctor; however, he never seems to have been terribly enthusiastic about his profession, devoting most of his energy to studies of mining and geology.
		Joachimsthal was an important mining center of the time, in particular for silver mining.
		Agricola's geological writings reflect an immense amount of study and first-hand observation, not just of rocks and minerals, but of every aspect of mining technology and practice of the time.

		Initially educated at the University of Leipzig where he taught Greek and Latin, Agricola subsequently continued his education at the Universities of Bologna, Venice, and Padua where he studied philosophy, medicine, and the natural sciences.
		In 1527, he accepted a job as town physician in Joachimsthal, a mining boomtown, located in Bohemia.
		As recorded in one of Agricola's own works, the time he did not spend in the practice of medicine was devoted to the study and exploration of everything he could find that dealt with mining.

		Shortly after 1516 he became a teacher in the Latin school of the mining town of Joachimsthal.
		In the Joachimsthal, Latin had been retained as the language of public worship, together with the accentus ecck aiaatici, the musical arrangement for the recital of the lessons.
		The most remarkable thing in the Joachimsthal liturgy, though not unprecedented, is the retention of the very ancient form of the " prose " in harmony with the contents of the liturgical gospels.

	Uranium's scientific history - Part 2
		Once more Joachimsthal was in the limelight, but this time radium was the star product while uranium remained an element with limited uses.
		The radium industry started in France under the aegis of the Curies, who refused to take out any patents, believing that to do so would be contrary to scientific ethics, especially because of the medical applications.
		In 1907 the Imperial Austrian government placed an embargo on the export of uranium ore and its by-products, and proceeded to build a radium factory in Joachimsthal next to the factory producing coloured uranium compounds.

		When Marie Skłodowska-Curie in her search for minerals containing radiating components had found out that the pitchblende of St. Joachimsthal was by far the most promising candidate for that endeavour, she and her cooperating husband Pierre were soon faced with a problem.
		In 1898, a first application by the researcher couple to the Austrian Imperial Mining Administration of the place is successful, and they immediately obtain 5 kg of the desired pitchblende residues which are left over when the industrially needed uranium is separated out.
		The intervention is very successful: they receive 100 kg without charge when Suess applied to the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture which is the superior authority to St. Joachimsthal.

		The Bohemian mining town of Joachimsthal--where pastors, musicians, and laity forged an enduring and influential union of Lutheranism, music, and culture--is at the center of the story.
		The Lutheran hymns, sung in the streets and homes as well as in the churches and schools of Joachimsthal, were central instruments of a Lutheran pedagogy that sought to convey the Gospel to lay men and women in a form that they could remember and apply for themselves.
		Shaped and nourished by the theology of the hymns, the laity of Joachimsthal maintained this Lutheran piety in their homes for a generation after Evangelical pastors had been expelled, finally choosing emigration over submission to the Counter-Reformation.
