Where to stay in Harthau
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Beds are not the point in Harthau. The listed addresses run along Annaberger Straße and Klaffenbacher Straße, streets of houses and yards where lodging is thin, so most travellers sleep in central Chemnitz and come out for the churches. Annaberger Straße is the practical thread.
If you want a quiet night near the Alte Kirche, plan on a short ride back into the city.

About Harthau
What are the main landmarks in Harthau?
Two churches carry the district's name in the heritage lists. The Alte Kirche and the Luther Church both stand under protection, the latter registered as Luther Church (Chemnitz-Harthau). Protection extends to ordinary streets.
Houses at Annaberger Straße 346 and 451, the group at Klaffenbacher Straße 70 and 72, and further addresses at Klaffenbacher Straße 2 and 60 are all listed, as is the Brecherhaus near Annaberger Straße 380, a shed built for working quarried stone.
What is the history of Harthau?
Harthau's past is legible mainly in what stands. The Alte Kirche carries the older name, and the Luther Church holds a separate entry in the register under its Chemnitz-Harthau title, so two churches survive here rather than one. Quarry stone left a trace.
The Brecherhaus near Annaberger Straße 380 was built for breaking and dressing Bruchstein, and it sits in the protected list beside the houses at 346 and 451. Klaffenbacher Straße keeps four more addresses, and Am Harthauer Bahnhof carries a name pointing to the railway.
Where is Harthau?
Harthau's protected addresses cluster on three streets of Chemnitz: Annaberger Straße, Klaffenbacher Straße, and the short lane named Am Harthauer Bahnhof.
