Klingenthal, Mountain town in Vogtland region, Germany.

The municipality of Klingenthal extends across 28 square kilometers of forested terrain at an elevation of 569 meters in southeastern Saxony.

The settlement originated in 1602 as a hammer mill location, drawing blacksmiths and miners to extract iron ore from the surrounding deposits.

The establishment of a luthiers' guild in 1716 initiated Klingenthal's long tradition of manufacturing musical instruments, including violins and accordions.

Winter sports enthusiasts access the Vogtlandarena ski jumping facility, which regularly hosts international Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping World Cup events.

The town maintains direct connections with Czech Republic through its position on the border, neighboring the municipality of Kraslice.
