Reichenbach im Vogtland, Urban municipality in Vogtlandkreis, Germany.

Located in eastern Saxony near the borders of Thuringia, Bavaria, and Czech Republic, Reichenbach im Vogtland extends across 34.6 square kilometers of rolling terrain.

The settlement received its town privileges around 1240, with the name Richenbach first documented in 1212 due to numerous water streams flowing through the area.

The Neuberinhaus museum preserves the legacy of actress Friederike Caroline Neuber while presenting exhibitions about 18th-century German theater and regional history.

The town connects to federal motorway A72 and maintains regular rail service on the Saxon-Franconia line between Dresden, Zwickau, Plauen, Hof, and Nuremberg.

The 19th-century industrial revolution transformed Reichenbach from a weaving center into a metal working hub with paper production and printing facilities.
