Chemnitz is the third-largest city in Saxony, and its population has started growing again in the past few years. The city lies at the foot of the Erzgebirge (also known as the “Ore Mountains” in English), and over the past century it has expanded from the banks of the River Chemnitz, stretching out over the hills to the west and the east. The river, from which the city takes its name, means “stony brook”. It rises at the southern edge of the city where the rivers Würschnitz and Zwönitz meet.
In 1883, Chemnitz became a city with over 100,000 residents, and just 30 years later this figure had risen to 320,000. In 1930 the city had 360,000 residents, the highest population in its history. Between 1844 and 1929, 16 smaller municipalities were incorporated into the city, significantly expanding its size.
