Where to stay in Erfenschlag
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Chemnitz keeps the hotels. Erfenschlag is a working edge of the city, its protected addresses scattered between Erfenschlager Straße, the water frontage at Am Zwönitzufer and the two lanes named after an oil mill and a rolling mill. Nobody books here for the view.
Take a room in Chemnitz and come out to the Christuskirche, to the old school at Erfenschlager Straße 153 or to the Sportlerheim on Sportlerweg.

About Erfenschlag
What are the main landmarks in Erfenschlag?
Christuskirche is the one church. Everything else on the protected list is domestic or civic: the school at Erfenschlager Straße 153, the house at 159, the pair at An der Ölmühle 4 and 6, the single entry at An der Walzenmühle 5, and the house on Inselsteig. Sport gets an entry too.
The Sportlerheim at Sportlerweg 15 is listed alongside the mill lanes and the waterside house at Am Zwönitzufer 2.
What is the history of Erfenschlag?
Mills came first here. The names on the protected list still say so, with An der Ölmühle and An der Walzenmühle recording an oil mill and a rolling mill worked on the water that runs past Am Zwönitzufer. Then came school and parish.
The schoolhouse at Erfenschlager Straße 153 and the Christuskirche mark the stage at which Erfenschlag had grown into a village with institutions of its own, and both stand inside Chemnitz.
Where is Erfenschlag?
Erfenschlag covers a little under two and a half square kilometres of Chemnitz, in Saxony, its addresses strung between Erfenschlager Straße and Am Zwönitzufer.
