Waldheim, Administrative municipality in Mittelsachsen, Germany.
Located in the valley of the Zschopau River, Waldheim encompasses 23.84 square kilometers and stands at an elevation of 266 meters above sea level.
Waldheim received its town privileges in 1286, and its castle, first documented in 1271, was transformed into an Augustinian monastery in 1404.
The town maintains active partnerships with Landsberg am Lech in Germany and Siófok in Hungary, fostering international connections and cultural exchanges.
Situated 51 kilometers from Dresden and 54 kilometers from Leipzig, Waldheim provides access to major urban centers through established transportation networks.
The former castle now houses Germany's oldest state prison, which operated as the first German state institution for mental health care in the 18th century.
