Timeline showing important milestones
Chemnitz is the third largest city in Saxony. It lies at the foot of the Erzgebirge mountains and has expanded over the past century from the Chemnitz river valley over the hills to the west and east.
The Chemnitz river, which gave the town its name and means Steinbach, is formed at the southern boundary of the town by the confluence of the Würschnitz and Zwönitz headwaters. The area was not populated in early history, but it was crossed by paths, the Böhmische Steige. In 1143, the Benedictine monastery is mentioned in documents with the granting of market rights.
