The Rathaus is the most beautiful building in a plaza full of striking buildings. The historic district of Leipzig generally is charming and compact. Great for strolling, and almost no cars. Lots of shops and restaurants among the historic buildings.

A lot of industrial exhibtis from Chemnitz' industrial past ("The German Manchester") are shown, most prominent the machines that were used to produce different kinds of textiles. Many of the old machines do still work and are shown in action from time to time. All in all this is a really interesting place to visit and certainly something you shouldn't miss when in Chemnitz.

The Art Nouveau villa is a highlight of the European Henry van de Velde Route.

While Chemnitz is a rather uninspiring place, the museum is worth the trip. Excellent exhibits especially of German expressionists with large collection of Jawlensky and Otto Dix. Very nice building and set up of the exhibits.

This is the second-biggest head statue in the world, showing Karl Marx, to whom the city used to be named in socialist times. In the background you find the first lines of the Communist Manifesto carved into the wall behind.
