Zwickau Sights

  1. August Horch Museum

    A century of automobile history comes alive in this amazing car museum. The original early 20th-century Audi factory sprawls with old gems including a 1911 Horch Phaeton, 1930s Silberpfeil racing cars, and - yes - plenty of Trabants. Walk inside an early gas station, inspect Audi founder August Horch's original office and stroll down a GDR streetscape.

  2. Priesterhäuser Zwickau

    The Priesterhäuser Zwickau give a close-up look at medieval living conditions. These pint-sized cottages were built between the 13th and 15th centuries and rank among the country's oldest surviving residential buildings. The creaky stairs, small chambers, dingy kitchen and soot-stained walls are perfect for all manner of spooky pranks. Claustrophobia awaits.

  3. Robert-Schumann-Haus

    Behind Hauptmarkt is Robert-Schumann-Haus, where the renowned composer of the Romantic Age was born and spent the first seven years of his life. Exhibits trace the various life stations of a man who developed serious bipolar disorder in his 30s, and died young in Bonn. A highlight is the piano played by Schumann's wife Clara Wieck, herself a noted pianist.
