Where to stay in Marienthal
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Zwickau holds the rooms. Marienthal reads as housing on the register, six blocks along Geschwister-Scholl-Straße and Hoferstraße and eight more on Karl-Keil-Straße, which is a district built for living in rather than for visiting. The Pauluskirche gives it a centre of sorts, with the park at Pauluskirchplatz beside it, and anyone booking a bed works from the Zwickau supply and comes out here by road.
Kästnersches Gut, a farmstead whose barn is now a dwelling, is the one entry that is neither a housing block nor a barracks.

About Marienthal
What are the main landmarks in Marienthal?
Nine entries, and most are housing. The Pauluskirche is the one building that reads as a landmark in the ordinary sense, and the park at Pauluskirchplatz carries a Kriegerdenkmal that doubles as the König-Albert-Denkmal. The rest is estate work: six blocks for the Stammarbeiter-Siedlung on Geschwister-Scholl-Straße and Hoferstraße, eight for Sächsisches Heim on Karl-Keil-Straße, and a run of terraces beyond them.
Kästnersches Gut stands on Julius-Seifert-Straße, and the Infanteriekaserne adds a Stabsgebäude and four Mannschaftshäuser to the same register.
What is the history of Marienthal?
The register does the dating here. Marienthal's listed fabric divides into three kinds of work: a company estate raised for the Stammarbeiter of the Basser Kommandit-Gesellschaft, a state housing scheme by the Landessiedlungsgesellschaft Sächsisches Heim, and an Infanteriekaserne with its Stabsgebäude and Mannschaftshäuser. Older ground shows through at Kästnersches Gut.
The Kriegerdenkmal at Pauluskirchplatz was raised for the Deutsch-Französischer Krieg and serves as the König-Albert-Denkmal as well, which is the closest thing Marienthal keeps to a dated public monument.
Where is Marienthal?
The heritage register for Marienthal runs street by street inside Zwickau, from Karl-Keil-Straße across to Hoferstraße and the Pauluskirche.
