King_Golo Says: Here are two interesting tours that you may want to try out:1. Chemnitz - Zeisigwald - Chemnitz. Leave the main station through the main entrance and go on for some 250m, turn left and cross the bridge. Turn left immediately again and right at the next traffic lights. Up the...
King_Golo Says: This is not about political rhetoric or so, but simply about the fact that Chemnitz's most prominent sight was not found on my pages so far: the giant bronze Karl Marx head, built by Lew Kerbel in the 1970s. The photo shows what it's all about, namely the head of the...
german_eagle Says: This is an amazing 18th century ensemble, one of the most beautiful ones in Saxony. It is located on a hill above the Zschopau valley, some miles east of Chemnitz. There was a medieval castle at this place, but it was torn down after 1722 and in 1726 the magnificent Baroque...
german_eagle Says: This late medieval church, a former pilgrimage and collegiate church, is a real gem and unfortunately mostly overlooked by tourists. It is located in the eastern outskirts of Chemnitz in lovely rural setting (see pic 1).In the first quarter of the 15th century a pilgrimage...
german_eagle Says: This is the smallest castle in Saxony. And it is *really* small regarding dimensions, but *huge* regarding ambience and authenticity!The castle is located in the northwestern hills outside Chemnitz in a forest (Rabensteiner Forst). Right next to it is a mansion from 1776...
1 Review and 1 Opinions I picked the hotel mostly because of its location, conveniently close to the station and the city...
1 Review and 0 Opinions nice stay , confortable rooms nothing particular. MANY BETTER PALCES AT LOWER PRICE IN THE AREA...
german_eagle Says: If you're looking for an excellent Viennese coffeehouse then you might consider this one. Although the architecture is modern, the ambience, the (fancy)cakes and tarts, the coffee and tea etc. reminded me of the good old time. They even have a piano player on several...
german_eagle Says: Right in the pedestrian zone is this very nice Bistro-Restaurant where they serve excellent French cuisine. They have tables outside which were perfect for lunch on this sunny day in September.Service is very good, attentive and competent. I chose the daily offer, potatoes...
german_eagle Says: Buses take you to places/districts where the trams don't run. You need them e.g. for the Kassberg district and for the castle Rabenstein. The main bus station is a few minutes walk from the main train station, but some buses also stop at the train station. The main bus...
german_eagle Says: Trams are an important part of the public transportation network in Chemnitz. They all run via the city centre where you can change at "Zentralhaltestelle" stop. In the future the tram network will be majorly enlarged. The plan is to connect the towns in the surrounding...
german_eagle Says: From Tuesday through Saturday there is a (mostly) food market on the square in front of the town hall. This is the largest food market in Chemnitz. I can confirm that the selection of veggies, fruits, all other sorts of agricultural products is very good. They also have...
german_eagle Says: The catholic St. Joseph church is, so sto speak, the correspondent to the Ev.-Luth. Markuskirche. It is also located in the Sonnenberg district, only a few blocks away.It was built in the style of a (Neo-)Romanesque basilica 1907 - 09 according to plans of Isidor Wingen. The...
german_eagle Says: This church, located at a nice square (Körnerplatz) in the district Sonnenberg south of the main railway station, was built in Neo-Gothic style by Berlin-based architects Abesser&Kröger 1893 - 95. The design follows the traditions of North-German brickstone architecture,...
german_eagle Says: One of the beautiful gardens/parks in the city is the Stadtpark that basically stretches over 6 km from the city centre along the small Chemnitz river. It goes back to a private park created in 1798 which was bought by the city in 1884, neighbouring areas were bought step by...
Chemnitzer Gewölbegänge (cellars)
german_eagle Says: When the technology of brewing beer changed (pureness law "Reihnheitsgebot" in Bavaria in 1516) it was necessary to have cool cellars for storing the beer for a longer time. Chemnitz had no such rooms, thus they started digging cellars in the underground of the Kaßberg hill....
german_eagle Says: Right on the Chemnitz river, north of the old town, is the market hall located. It was built after plans of Eduard Hechler in 1891, restored 1994/95 but I saw construction works going on when I visited in 2011 again - parts of the hall were closed.The walls are of brickstone...
german_eagle Says: Another excellent example for the architecture of New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) is the municipal indoor swimming pool. It was built according to plans of Fred Otto 1928 - 35 and recently renovated. The large complex consists of several larger and smaller cubes. The...
german_eagle Says: I hope you don't think this is advertising for this bank corporation ... nope. This is about the building where they have one of their residences in Chemnitz. It was constructed 1925/26 in the style of New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) which is typical for the 1920s/30s in...
Chemnitz has numerous indoor swimming pools, but the most beautiful is definitely the Stadtbad. Built in the Bauhaus style from 1928 to 1935, the Stadtbad has preserved several architectural features of that era. Swimming is possible in a 50m pool and a 25m pool, the latter mostly reserved for special occasions such as "swimming for elderly people" or "swimming for pregnants".
The Stadtbad also features a very nice sauna with several differently tempered rooms ranging from a 40°C steam sauna to a 95°C Finnish sauna.
Equipment: Swimming equipment, what else?!? Be aware that sauna means naked - no clothes are needed, only a towel.

Green Chemnitz: Parks and Gardens
german_eagle Says: For a city with a reputation as an industrial centre Chemnitz has surprisingly many parks and gardens. Just on the northern end of the city centre is the Schlossteich (lake below the former castle) with a nice park, a half mile farther north is the large Küchwald park with...
german_eagle Says: Naturally, a visitor of a German city heads to the city centre first, hoping to find a cute old town. You're out of luck in Chemnitz. The old town was destroyed in WWII, not much is left. Only a few public buildings like churches, a couple of townhouses, art museum and opera...

Chemnitz - a city in transition
Chemnitz was my home for 9 years - I studied and worked there. It's a city of some 240,000 inhabitants located at the north rim of the Ore Mountains. Chemnitz belongs to the German bundesland (i.e.......
Chemnitz - Karl-Marx-Stadt - Chemnitz
Chemnitz is of interest to people who want to look for the traces of changes: the change from a smallish town to an industrial city in the late 19th century, the socialist city of the 1950s to 1980s,...
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...
