Döbeln, Urban municipality in Central Saxony, Germany

Döbeln extends across both sides of the Freiberger Mulde River, positioned at 168 meters elevation between Dresden, Leipzig, and Chemnitz.

The settlement received its first written mention in 981, later developing into a town around 1220 and experiencing significant growth during medieval times.

The town preserves multiple memorials commemorating World War II events, including the Schlegel Fountain and monuments dedicated to victims of historical conflicts.

The central railway station connects travelers through the Borsdorf-Coswig and Riesa-Chemnitz lines, providing transportation links across the Saxony region.

Döbeln maintains a functioning horse-drawn tram line since 2007, representing the last remaining system of this type in Germany.
