Car Hire Zwickau - Mini guide to Zwickau

You have just stepped on the Zwickau soil, a city in Bundesland Sachsen (Saxony), Germany where a stroll would take you to a world of discovery about the different architectural styles and carefully preserved historic buildings from six centuries.

Zwickau is home to 103 000 inhabitants, and is the Free State of Saxony’s fourth-largest city, next to Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz. The city is composed of 59 districts and is accessible by autobahns, the A72 and A4 along with a train station.

The city is renowned for many things, one of which is that it is the birthplace of composer Robert Schumann (1810-1856) and Max Pechstein (1881-1955), the artist of the Brücke movement. It is also famous for its car makers for the past 100 years, providing as many as 1150 Volkswagen cars each day to international markets.

The city boasts of several attractions that never failed to lure tourists to come. This is one place where every turn reveals memories of the past centuries.

Among the must-see places are the old Priests’ Houses in their late medieval style. These are counted as among the oldest residential buildings in eastern Germany. Robert Schumann’s reconstructed house is another venue which is popular with tourists. It has been turned into a venue for cultural events and as a research centre and museum dedicated to the memory of Schumann.

There are also Gothic churches and secular buildings, the Johannisbad bath which provides guests a taste of health and sauna bath with a mix of oriental culture and elements of different periods; and the Concert Hall and Ball House ""Neue Welt"" which houses Saxony’s largest Art Nouveau terrace hall.

Zcwickau was first mentioned in 1118 as a trading place. It is also home to Saxony’s first Ratsschulbibliothek or the public library, made known worldwide for its valuable collection of books, incunabula, prints and scripts. Visit Zwickau and treat yourself to a whiff of historical treasures you will value for life.
