Hohenstein-Ernstthal
Zwickau · Germany
Hohenstein-Ernstthal, a town in Saxony's Zwickau district, is best known as the birthplace of the adventure writer Karl May, whose birth house is now a museum, and as home to the Sachsenring racing circuit, which hosts a round of the Motorcycle World Championship. The two towns of Hohenstein and Ernstthal were united in 1898, and the area grew from silver-mining origins in the 15th century. Physicist Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert and inventor Christoph Gottlieb Schröter were also born here.
