Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz

Few places in Saxony have a history as closely tied to German spaceflight as Morgenrothe-Rautenkranz. Set in the wooded western Ore Mountains, this small settlement is the birthplace of Sigmund Jähn, who became the first German in space aboard Soyuz 31 in 1978. The German Space Travel Exhibition continues that connection with displays devoted to astronomy, rockets and crewed spaceflight. Now part of the municipality of Muldenhammer, Morgenrothe-Rautenkranz stands within a highland region of forests and scattered settlements.
