Glashütte runs along the Müglitz River in Saxony’s Eastern Ore Mountains, and the confined valley has kept the town closely gathered around its industrial core. Its name is inseparable from precision watchmaking: in 1845, Ferdinand Adolph Lange established the enterprise that set local production on its course. Manufacturers including A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original continue that tradition today. The German Watch Museum Glashütte, based in the former German Watchmaking School, traces the craft through timepieces, tools and training.
