Auerbach: Kleingartenverein Planitzwiesen

Auerbach occupies a valley position along the Göltzsch River in Saxony’s Vogtland region. The town’s defining landmark is the Drei Türme, the surviving towers of medieval Auerbach Castle on the Schlossberg above the centre. Around it, the wooded, gently rolling terrain of the Vogtland marks the transition between Saxony and the neighbouring Czech lands. The wider region is also known for its long tradition of musical-instrument making, particularly in its southern towns.

Saxony is renowned across Germany for Meissen porcelain, first produced in the town of Meissen in 1710. The state stretches from the Ore Mountains on the Czech border to the Elbe valley, whose banks include Dresden, Saxony’s capital. Dresden’s reconstructed Frauenkirche and the baroque Zwinger reflect its role as a historic court city, while Leipzig has long been associated with trade fairs and Johann Sebastian Bach, who worked at St Thomas Church. East of Dresden, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains create the striking rock country of Saxon Switzerland. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Saxony.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
