About Rabenstein
What are the main landmarks in Rabenstein?
Rabenstein Castle heads the register, with Schloss Rabenstein and the Schloßbergmuseum Chemnitz listed beside it, the museum under the name Burg Rabenstein. Everything else is smaller. St. Georg is the parish church, the Gefallenendenkmal Chemnitz-Rabenstein the war memorial, and the Haus der Körperkultur one of a run of protected addresses that takes in Boettcherstraße, Trützschlerstraße, Oberfrohnaer Straße and Am weißen Stein.
What is the history of Rabenstein?
Rabenstein reaches the register without a founding date. What survives instead is a list of protected buildings, Rabenstein Castle above the rest, then the parish church, the Gefallenendenkmal Chemnitz-Rabenstein and a run of houses on Boettcherstraße and Oberfrohnaer Straße. Chemnitz carries it as one of its districts.
The Haus der Körperkultur and Trützschlerstraße 2 belong to the same protected list, and Schloss Rabenstein shares the district's name.
Where is Rabenstein?
Seven square kilometres of Chemnitz make up Rabenstein, with Oberfrohnaer Straße running through it and Rabenstein Castle among its landmarks.
