Posted 25 Dec 2022 I just discovered this town of 33k people in Thuringia. It has a thousand year history and it survived the wars unscattered. It looks really amazing architecture-wise: I wonder if one can live there and commute to the other, larger cities nearby for work? Altenburg is located 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of Leipzig, 90 kilometres (56 miles) west of Dresden and 100 kilometres (62 miles) east of Erfurt. It has a cute old town: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhtuhvF0NX4 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 Dec 2022 No, traveling thousands of kilometers a year to and from work makes no sense. One should seek a dwelling near work. Altenburg has been known for unpleasant political demonstrations, some people living there dislike strangers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 Dec 2022 I have been to Altenburg a few times as a tourist and really liked it. I stayed at the Parkhotel which not only allows dogs but actually welcomes them. I remember it as quite green and "cozy" for lack of a better term. However, as in many areas in Eastern Germany, there might be some unpleasant political developments. It would definitely be prudent to research a bit more. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
