Grimma, Medieval market town in Saxony, Germany
The municipality extends along the Mulde River banks, featuring narrow streets lined with preserved buildings and a 400-meter city wall.
Founded around 1170, Grimma developed as a residence for Saxon electors and contained one of three principal government schools established in 1550.
The monastery church holds significance on the Luther Trail, where Martin Luther delivered multiple sermons during the Protestant Reformation period.
The town connects to Leipzig and Dresden through regular train services, making it accessible for day trips from both major Saxon cities.
The Göschen Publishers Museum stands as Germany's sole institution dedicated to the publisher who worked with Goethe and Schiller.
