Artists' Alley, Schwarzenberg

Highlight • Historical Site

With “Kunst und Kneipe”, the Rademann gallery and the Kafka art gallery, there are now three plausible reasons for calling the Marktgässchen “Künstlergässchen”, as it has been written in white on blue on a banner since December 2014. Why not?

Schwarzenberg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in the 12th century as a fortification to protect a trade route, the small mountain town developed into the center of the eponymous rule and the later Schwarzenberg office. By the end of the GDR, the city had become the most important washing machine production location in Eastern Europe. Schwarzenberg became known nationally in 1984 through Stefan Heym's novel of the same name, which took place in the post-war city in an unoccupied city for several weeks.

Schwarzenberg Market Square and Alleys

Highlight • Settlement

Built in the 12th century as a fortification to protect a trade route, the small mountain town developed into the centre of the eponymous dominion and later the Schwarzenberg district. By the end of the GDR, the town had become the most important washing machine production site in Eastern Europe. Schwarzenberg became known nationwide in 1984 through Stefan Heym's novel of the same name, which is set in the post-war period in the town, which was unoccupied for several weeks.

Krauß Pyramid, Schwarzenberg

Highlight • Monument

The Krauß Pyramid (also Kraußpyramide) is a large pyramid erected outdoors at Christmas time in the Saxon city of Schwarzenberg. In the Erzgebirge, the region of origin of the current form of the Christmas pyramid, it is the oldest preserved and still operating outdoor pyramid and is therefore unique in the world.
