Crimmitschau, Industrial town in Zwickau district, Saxony, Germany
Located on the Pleiße River in northern Ore Mountains, Crimmitschau encompasses multiple localities including Blankenhain, Frankenhain, and Mannichswalde across 61 square kilometers.
Founded between 1170 and 1200 during German eastern expansion, Crimmitschau received town privileges in 1414 from Markgraf Wilhelm II and connected to railways in 1844.
The spinning lady fountain in the market square represents female textile workers, with a 2.10-meter statue created by sculptor Hans Eickworth in 1967.
The town maintains three elementary schools, two secondary schools, one gymnasium, and specialized education facilities serving its 18,567 residents.
During the industrial age, Crimmitschau earned recognition as the City of 100 Chimneys due to its extensive textile manufacturing facilities.
