Zwickau

　　Zwickau is located in a valley in the Erzgebirge Mountains of Germany and is a city in the Free State of Saxony. It is the hometown of the famous composer Robert·Schumann (Robert Schumann). This area was once a major industrial base of former East Germany. In earlier times, it was rich in coal production, and the renowned car brand Audi also made its way to the world from this valley.

　　Zwickau has a history of over 900 years. It began to develop in the 15th century and became an important economic and cultural center of the state in the 16th century. The city center is home to three major museums: the Art Museum from the 19th century, which has been a pastor's residence since the 13th century; the Robert·Schumann Museum, the ideal place to learn about the life of the famous composer; and another museum that introduces the city’s history, art, mineralogy, paleontology, and geology. In addition, Zwickau’s Town Hall and Theater, St. Mary’s Church, and St. Catherine’s Church are also worth visiting.
