Aue-Bad Schlema

Aue-Bad Schlema is a town in the Erzgebirge mountains of Saxony where two rivers meet and several districts form one community. It sits at roughly 360 meters in elevation and serves as a local administrative hub.

The settlement was founded in 1173 and grew through mining into an important regional center. Later it developed as a spa town, a character that remains reflected in its name today.

The settlement grew around mining and spa traditions, which remain visible in local names and how the community identifies itself today. These roots continue to shape how residents experience their surroundings.

The town is divided into four districts and functions as a self-governing municipal center with local services. Visitors will find standard amenities and administrative facilities spread across the different areas.

A notable railroad bridge made of pre-stressed concrete stands here as a landmark and was among the world's first of its kind. This technical achievement draws interest from those curious about engineering history.
