Culture and History
The Railway Museum in Lunzenau presents railway history and temporary exhibitions in a relocated former railway station building. It also includes railway-related elements such as a shunting locomotive.
The local history museum is one of Lunzenau’s oldest buildings and survived the town fire of 1781. It houses a museum of local history documenting the former small-town bourgeois life. It also includes a weaving room with a fully functional handloom; an oven is located in its outdoor area.
The organ in St. James’ Church dates from 1793. Lunzenau’s St. James’ Church was built between 1787 and 1789 on the site of an earlier church dating from around 1325. The Prince Lieschen Fountain, dating from 1997, is located in the market square. It displays the town coat of arms as well as the incorporated villages and their dates of foundation.
A walk through Lunzenau’s town centre leads through narrow alleys and past bourgeois houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Göhren Viaduct connects Lunzenau’s district of Cossen with the district of Göhren in Wechselburg.
Parks and Landscape
Heinrich Heine Park was created between 1873 and 1877 for the manufacturer Wilhelm Vogel and covers approximately 36.6 hectares. Paths run through the park, with areas for rest and recreation. An artificial ruin and a tunnel were built on a rocky promontory above the Zwickauer Mulde. The park has a rare, partly exotic collection of trees, including a beech that is more than 200 years old.
From Max Vogler Park, a hill near the market offers a good overview of Lunzenau. At 276.3 metres above sea level, Biesig is Lunzenau’s highest point. From there, views extend to Rochsburg Castle, the Göhren Bridge, Chemnitz, Augustusburg Castle and the Ore Mountains.
Paths and Routes
The Bilz circular hiking route starts at Lunzenau’s market square, leads through Heinrich Heine Park towards Rochsburg and returns to the Lunzenau market. Signs providing directions are positioned along the entire route.
