german_eagle Says: A good place for a sumptuous breakfast buffet is the restaurant of the Hotel Mercure, located on the top floor and thus providing great views of the city. In case the weather co-operates you can see the Erzgebirge mountains from there (it did not for us).The breakfast buffet...

Chemnitz wouldn´t be the same without it...it is the emblem of the City. The name of the City during the times of the GDR was Karl-Marx-Stadt and after the wall came down it got its old name back.

The Roter Turm is the oldest building in Chemnitz and was built in the 12th Century. Around the tower you can see a black line in the otherwise brownish cobblestones, which marks the boundary of the...
