About Furth
Where to stay in Furth
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms belong to Chemnitz here. Furth is a strip of protected house fronts rather than a hotel quarter, and the register that covers it follows Chemnitztalstraße before spilling over into Glösa and Draisdorf at Kirchberg. Walkers get more from it than sleepers.
Book inside Chemnitz and come out for the Ehrenmal on Sandstraße at Borna-Heinersdorf, or for the Kirchberg group that the register enters under Glösa and Draisdorf.
About Furth
What are the main landmarks in Furth?
The register does the naming. Chemnitztalstraße carries most of it, a run of protected houses at 18, 20, 22, 38, 66 and 70, then the pair at 82 and the one at 100 that the entry files as Chemnitz-Furth. St. Jodokuskirche stands over at Glösa, the Ehrenmal on Sandstraße belongs to Borna-Heinersdorf, and the Kirchberg group is entered under Glösa and Draisdorf together.
Nothing here is a set piece.
What is the history of Furth?
Chemnitz took Furth in without recording when it began. What survives instead is a list of protected addresses, the Chemnitztalstraße houses among them, and it tells the story of a settlement that was taken into Chemnitz and kept afterwards as a name on the city map. Churches mark the older layer.
St. Jodokuskirche at Glösa and the Kirchberg buildings shared with Draisdorf hold the parish record, while the Ehrenmal on Sandstraße serves the same purpose for Borna-Heinersdorf.
Where is Furth?
Furth lies inside Chemnitz, in Saxony, a quarter of roughly two and a half square kilometres that the Chemnitztalstraße threads from end to end.
