 7 Roter Turm The Red Tower is the oldest preserved landmark of the city of Chemnitz. It was built around the end of the 12th century. At first it was used as a residential tower and for self-fortification, later it was part of the city fortification. The name of the tower is owed to the red paint of the brick storey built in the middle of the 16th century and its former red roofing with tiles. Up until about 1900, the tower and its annex were used as a prison. The Red Tower turned this function around in the early 19th century before its demolition to become part of the expanding city defences of Chemnitz. |
 8 Penguins! A lot of penguins. The presence of the penguins has a very serious and symbolic reason. Chemnitz has apparently the same shape as Antarctica and that similarity is a good opportunity to set up a group installation of them in town. This sculpture is created by Peter Kallfels in 2004 and there's 14 emperor penguins. |

 10 St. Jakobi The three-naved hall church with ridge turret is a Romanesque predecessor church from the 14th century. Highlights to be mentioned are the high-Gothic hall sanctuary, the winged altar from the 16th century with works by Peter Breuer and Hans Hesse, as well as the tracery frieze from the beginning of the 15th century. These sights became accessible to visitors after reconstruction work was carried out in the Jakobikirche. |

 12 Neues und Altes Rathaus The town hall of Chemnitz consists of two buildings. The old town hall was built in the 15th century. The new townhall, on the other hand, was built at the beginning of the 20th century and was designed by Richard Möbius. The new town hall was erected next to the old one. |
 13 Altes Rathaus The smaller "Old Hall" was built from 1496 to 1489. Fires from the Middle Ages to the 18th century into it, and tastes, and ultimately the destruction on March 5, 1945, took effect on the appearance in the form of structural changes. |
