This city culture trail begins at the market and first leads to Sebastian-Bach-Platz, where a part of the remaining city wall can be visited.
Then we proceed via Johannisgasse to the current Neuberin Museum, the former office of the Vogts. Here, the city history is also clearly presented in an exhibition. The Museum Cellar Reichenbach in the cellar vaults of the museum is a restaurant known far beyond the city limits.
Afterwards, we pass the Archidiaconate, which once housed the residence of the archdeacon (head of a parish district in the Middle Ages). The route then leads to the St. Peter and Paul City Church. The first documented mention of the parish church dates back to 1225. It was once the mother church of the Mylau lordship. Around 1260, the Reichenbach patronage was transferred from the Vogts of Plauen to the Teutonic Order. The church, rebuilt after the city fire of 1720, has an organ from the 18th century attributed to the Saxon organ builder Silbermann.
