Dohna, Urban municipality in Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge, Germany.

The municipality stretches across multiple localities including Borthen, Bosewitz, and Burgstädtel, situated at an elevation of 164 meters in the Müglitz valley.

First documented as Donin in 1040, Dohna developed around a strategic castle that controlled major routes between Saxony and Bohemia until 1402.

The coat of arms displays a yellow tower with a red roof on a blue field, derived from the oldest known city seal dating from 1525.

The municipality functions as the administrative center of Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Dohna-Müglitztal, coordinating services for the surrounding region.

The Old Chemist's building from 1690 serves as a historical museum, preserving local artifacts and documenting the region's development through centuries.
