Rochlitz, Medieval town in Mittelsachsen, Germany
The municipality sits at the bend of Zwickauer Mulde river, with Rochlitzer Berg rising prominently to the north of its historical center.
The settlement emerged from Slavic villages in the 9th century, later developing into a fortified town with documented walls by 1288.
Protestant churches of St Cunigunde and St Peter stand as testaments to the religious transformation that began in the town during 1537.
The central train station connects Rochlitz to Leipzig and Chemnitz, while regular bus services provide transportation throughout the Mittelsachsen district.
Rochlitzer Berg contains quarries that supplied distinctive red porphyry stone used in numerous buildings across Central Germany since medieval times.
