Zwickau, Industrial urban municipality in Saxony, Germany

Located in the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde River, Zwickau stretches across the northern foothills of the Ore Mountains, representing the fourth largest city in Saxony.

The settlement gained prominence as a trading center in 1118 and received royal market status by 1150, evolving into an imperial city between 1135 and 1145.

The Robert Schumann Museum, established in 1955, preserves the legacy of the classical composer born in Zwickau in 1810 through exhibits and musical collections.

The Zwickau Hauptbahnhof connects the city to major railway lines, providing direct transportation links to Leipzig and other regional destinations throughout Saxony.

The city holds deep automotive manufacturing roots as the birthplace of Audi, Horch automobiles, and later the production site of Trabant cars and Volkswagen electric vehicles.
