Welcome to our beautiful town of Schwarzenbach a.d.Saale. On the northern edge of the Fichtel Mountains, with its attractive old town on the upper reaches of the Saale, our town is located in a well-developed, varied natural landscape. With almost 7,000 inhabitants, we are known as a livable industrial town and as the region's artists' town. The Entenhausen cosmos with the Erika Fuchs Museum is just as much at home here as an active civic society with a variety of different clubs, events and festivals all year round.
