A warm welcome to Western Saxony! CHEMNITZ. ZWICKAU. REGION. and the Vogtland are linked by the Saxony-Franconia Arterial Road, which crosses the striking Göltzschtal Bridge near Reichenbach in the Vogtland.
Western Saxony boasts a particularly diverse industrial heritage, which is why the city of Chemnitz is known as the ‘Saxon Manchester’. An early hallmark of the city was the Sächsische Maschinenfabrik, formerly Richard Hartmann AG, whose products can still be seen today running on steam on various railways or admired at the Eisenbahn open-air museum in Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf. CHEMNITZ. ZWICKAU. REGION. offers much more: historic castles and palaces, a rich automotive history showcased at the August Horch Museum in Zwickau, and highlights from the worlds of art and culture – whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a culture vulture or a nature lover, there’s something for everyone here. Chemnitz’s status as the 2025 Capital of Culture is testament to the region’s nationwide appeal.
The Vogtland region boasts a unique natural landscape that invites visitors to find peace and quiet or recharge their batteries, for example at the Saxon State Spas of Bad Brambach and Bad Elster. The region offers a wide variety of active experiences for the whole family all year round. The Musikwinkel in the Vogtland offers some special discoveries. At the “Erlebniswelt Musikinstrumentenbau Vogtland” (Vogtland Musical Instrument Making Experience Centre), you can even watch masterpieces being created. Plauen, on the other hand, is known as the city of lace; the “Fabrik der Fäden” (Factory of Threads) has become a unique experience centre dedicated to Plauen lace.
