Crimmitschau is located very close to Zwickau and is a typical industrial town. Mainly textiles were produced here and the nickname “city of 100 chimneys” was more than justified for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In 1901, there were 53 cloth and buksin factories, 22 spinning and twisting mills and 10 dyeing mills in Crimmitschau. The industry in the town was also reflected in the population structure. The almost 7000 workers lived in the simplest conditions in workers’ quarters. At the beginning of industrialization, the factory owners still lived in rather functional apartments and preferred to put the money they earned into modernizing the factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
