Where to stay in Einsiedel
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds are not Einsiedel's business. The Einsiedler Hauptstraße carries the village core, with the Grundschule Einsiedel, the Gasthof Zur Friedenseiche over in Berbisdorf and a line of protected houses standing where a hotel row would be in a town centre. Chemnitz keeps the rooms, and a day out to the Einsiedel Dam works as well from there as from Altenhainer Allee.

About Einsiedel
What are the main landmarks in Einsiedel?
The Einsiedel Dam is the biggest thing here, its wall and waterworks along Altenhainer Allee listed as a single protected group with the buildings around them. A brewery chimney follows. The Schornstein des Einsiedler Brauhauses and the Brunnenhaus der Brauerei stand for the brewing trade.
St. Jakobikirche, the Kirche Chemnitz-Berbisdorf, August-Bebel-Platz, the Parentationshalle Chemnitz-Einsiedel and the Gefallenendenkmal Chemnitz-Einsiedel complete a register that runs to churches, a square and memorials.
What is the history of Einsiedel?
Two villages sit inside one district. Einsiedel keeps its village church with the churchyard and neighbouring cemetery beside it, while Berbisdorf holds a church of its own, the Friedenseiche and the Kriegerdenkmal that stands with the oak. Brewing left the clearest marks.
The chimney of the Einsiedler Brauhaus and the brewery's Brunnenhaus survive as protected structures, and a square kept for its tree stock carries the Denkmal für antifaschistische Widerstandskämpfer.
Where is Einsiedel?
