| Birthplace of Horch, Audi, DKW and Trabant- the history of the German automobile industry was written here in Zwickau. VW today ensures that this tradition continues. The town also has much to offer, both culturally and architecturally. The wealth in the town, from ore and silver mining, can still be seen today. Did you know that Robert Schumann was born in Zwickau? Zwickau and the surrounding area offer the chance for many interesting trips: The Automobile museum, the Robert Schumanns house, the Erzbegirge (ore mountains)and Vogtland, the 'Silver Route' between Zwickau and Dresden, the Altenburg- skat town, the Sachsenring racing course and the Karlsbad in the Czech Republic. |
