Chemnitz is Saxony's third-largest city and was called Karl-Marx-Stadt from 1953 to 1990; the seven-metre bronze Marx head by Lew Kerbel still stands on Brückenstraße and is known locally simply as the Nischel. Machine tools and textiles built the city, and engineering remains its backbone today, with a Volkswagen engine plant, several Fraunhofer institutes and the Technische Universität Chemnitz. The year as European Capital of Culture in 2025 put the Industriemuseum, the Museum Gunzenhauser and Henry van de Velde's Villa Esche back in the spotlight. Chemnitz lies at the foot of the Erzgebirge, roughly 70 km south-west of Dresden and 80 km south-east of Leipzig, where the A4 crosses the A72.
