Glauchau, Historic municipality in Saxony, Germany
The town extends along the Mulde River banks at 266 meters elevation, featuring medieval architecture and modernized residential districts across 51 square kilometers.
The settlement originated from Sorbian and Wendish colonies before coming under Schönburg lords' control during the 12th century, establishing its administrative importance.
The Jan Hus Memorial stands as a central monument in Old Town Square, representing the religious reformation movement and Czech nationalism through detailed sculptures.
The railway station, opened in 1858, connects the town to Dresden and Werdau, serving as a transportation center with five operational platforms.
The town's emergency banknotes from earlier periods depict local narratives, including stories about the Buttermilchturm tower and Saxon Beer wars of 1731.
