Since August 2011, the monastery church has served not only ecclesiastical purposes but also as a sacred museum. Important sacred works of art from the churches of Kamenz are presented here. The museum regularly hosts special exhibitions on art and cultural history topics and offers artists a unique space to present contemporary art. https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/kirchen/st-annen

The Franciscan monastery, built outside the city, initially had no direct access to the city. For this reason, the monks purchased a house along the city wall, demolished it, and created a passageway, the present-day monastery gate. In 1770, the gate was built over with a rather impressive Baroque residential building. Source: https://www.kamenz.de/sakrale-schaetze.html#mausoleum

Compared to other marketplaces in Germany, Kamenz's market square is one of the smaller ones. Nevertheless, it was very lively, especially in the past. The so-called Autumn Wool Market was held here as early as 1455, and was supplemented by the Spring Wool Market in 1498. The Keulenmarkt (Beef Market) has remained in Kamenz to this day and is now held as a weekly market every Thursday. Over the course of history, the market square also came to be called "Platz der Befreiung" (Place of Liberation). Source: https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/auchsehenswert/marktplatz

The 40-meter-high tower is visible from afar and dominates the city's skyline. Yet one thing is clear: the secular building is not intended to overshadow the sacred main church. Amidst the red of the town hall, the golden clock immediately catches the eye. Likewise, the decorative coat of arms of the city of Kamenz, in the form of a relief coat of arms beneath the clock. Directly above the entrance is a counter commemorating the city's 800th anniversary. Starting at 800 on August 22, 2022, it counted backward 800 days to the beginning of the anniversary year on January 1, 2025, and has been counting upwards ever since. Kamenz's town hall is generally considered one of the most beautiful buildings from the first half of the 19th century. Source: https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/auchsehenswert/marktplatz

The memorial opened on June 11, 2011. In order to produce cheaply, Elster GmbH, as the company was known for camouflage purposes, decided with the SS to build a concentration camp in Kamenz and force the prisoners to work for Elster GmbH. It was decided to house the prisoners in the former cloth factory in Herrental. Starting at the end of 1944, prisoners from the surrounding concentration camps began arriving at the Kamenz subcamp. There were approximately 1,000 of them, primarily political opponents of the National Socialist regime. They were selected based on two criteria: the prisoners had to have a profession suitable for the job, such as welder or lathe operator, and, if possible, be able to speak French. During the 130 days of the camp's existence, 182 people are documented to have died here. Their names are recorded on four plaques at the memorial. It is assumed that there were almost 100 additional deaths, but their names were unfortunately lost. Source: https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/gedenken/herrenmuehle
