Welcome to the Altenburger Land!

The Altenburger Land lies at the centre of the up-and-coming central German economic regions of Leipzig, Halle, Chemnitz, Zwickau and Jena and is characterised by excellent road, rail and air transport connections as well as a high quality of life and living. The charming hilly landscape is characterised by idyllic four-sided farmsteads, extensive woodlands and beautifully situated lakes. The 1035-year-old residential town of Altenburg with the Residence Castle, Playing Card Museum, Altenburg Theatre and the Lindenau Museum are particularly worth experiencing. The Haselbach Lake or the numerous cycling and hiking trails in the district also offer a variety of opportunities for sports and local recreation.

In many respects, the Altenburger Land is a location with a future and is experiencing steady economic growth. A powerful industry is located here, including mechanical and vehicle engineering, metal processing, plastics technology and the food industry. In addition, many small and medium-sized enterprises have become important suppliers to the Central German automotive industry in recent years. The development in the field of renewable energy production is also more and more an economic factor. Furthermore the district can build on a stable agricultural sector. Investors will find large-scale and well-developed industrial estates in Altenburger Land.
