Welcome
to Mittweida
The whole town feels like a campus: Mittweida has around 6,000 students — and a population of just 15,000. Students are guaranteed to bump into each other, whether at a seminar, doing sport, or in their leisure time.
The student vibe creates a good atmosphere: in everyday life in the student club, in the student-run “Schwemme” club, or at the annual House on the Hill festival in May. The annual Campus Festival is also a great event — live acts, plenty of entertainment, and even a few talented teachers take to the stage.
Mittweida offers plenty of opportunities for anyone who wants to make a difference. The old cloth weaving and cotton spinning town is now shaped by start-ups and people with ideas. “Doing instead of talking” is the motto here, more so than in many a boomtown. That’s one of the reasons why graduates such as Audi founder August Horch, colour television inventor Walter Bruch, and the founders of crowdfunding pioneer startnext felt so at home in Mittweida.
It’s all about the feel-good factor! Mittweida offers you plenty of amenities. Most places are within easy walking distance. The time that others spend on public transport, for example, can be used here to enjoy a longer breakfast — and the affordable rents in the modern halls of residence or one of the many shared flats in the old town are sure to leave enough for a trip or two. Sounds great? That’s Mittweida!
