Schleiz

Located at 432 meters above sea level, Schleiz sits in a valley with the Wisenta river near the A9 motorway connecting Berlin and Munich.

The settlement, established around 1200, consisted of two separate communities - Altstadt and Neustadt - which merged into a single city on December 2, 1482.

The city incorporates twelve distinct subdivisions including Möschlitz, Grochwitz, Oberböhmsdorf, and Burgk, each contributing to its regional character and traditions.

Schleiz maintains essential municipal facilities including the Stadtbibliothek, Stadtarchiv, and multiple administrative offices serving its 8,866 residents across the urban district.

The Schleizer Triangle racing circuit stands as a notable motorsport venue in the region, representing a significant part of the city's recreational infrastructure.
