Auerbach, Administrative town in Vogtlandkreis, Germany.
Located at 555 meters above sea level, Auerbach extends across the eastern Vogtlandkreis region as the third largest municipality after Plauen and Reichenbach.
The settlement's history dates to 1282, with its castle first mentioned in 1122, while the medieval city layout was established in the 14th century by Plauen rulers.
The cityscape features three prominent towers: the Schlossturm castle tower and two church spires from the Catholic Holy Cross and Protestant St. Laurentius churches.
The municipality maintains multiple train stations, an airport, and extensive bus networks that connect residents to neighboring cities including Plauen and Zwickau.
In 1503, Auerbach received a mining office and earned the designation of mining town in 1543 due to its tin and iron ore extraction activities.
