Glauchau, Historic municipality in Saxony, Germany

Glauchau is a town in Saxony that stretches along the Mulde River valley, combining medieval buildings with modern residential areas. The settlement includes various districts with architectural styles from different periods.

The area was settled by Sorbian and Wendish peoples before coming under Schönburg lordship in the 12th century. This period shaped the town's administrative development and regional importance.

The market square is surrounded by buildings from different periods that shape the town's appearance over time. Residents and visitors use this space as a gathering point for daily encounters and local events.

The railway station provides connections to larger cities and makes the town easy to reach. The town itself is walkable, with distances between districts quite manageable.

Historical emergency banknotes from earlier periods depict local stories and notable elements of the town. These notes tell of events and structures that held meaning for residents at that time.
