The plaque is part Latin, part German.
The Latin translates: "To Georgius Agricola, Doctor of Medicine and Burgermeister of Chemnitz, by his piety and erudition his name has become immortal as his soul has been taken by Christ, his wife and children mourning; died in 21 November 1555, born in Glauchau 24 March 1494."
The German translates: "The lost tombstone is here again reproduced in 1934 by friends of admirers of the great humanist, the father of mineralogy, and pioneer of mining."
