Bus traffic in Chemnitz
The bus traffic in Chemnitz is carried out by several companies today. City lines are operated by Chemnitzer Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft (CVAG), regional lines are operated by Regionalverkehr Erzgebirge (RVE), City-Bahn Chemnitz (CB) and REGIOBUS Central Saxony (RBM). All city and regional bus routes in Chemnitz belong to the tariff area of the Verkehrsverbund Mittelachsen . Other companies also operate long-distance bus routes to Dresden, Nuremberg, Erfurt, Frankfurt / Main, Munich, Würzburg, Prague and the Baltic Sea, among others.
city traffic
The central hub of Chemnitz city traffic is the central stop, where all tram lines and numerous bus lines meet and where rendezvous meetings take place Mondays to Saturdays on the outskirts of the day and all day on Sundays. At night, the central stop is the city's night hub , from where the eight night bus routes depart every hour (45 minutes) .
Since a comprehensive line reform on March 30, 2008, the daily lines of the CVAG have been designated in such a way that the line number shows the rate at which the line is operated on weekdays. The lines with the last digit 1 drive in the 1 0-minute intervals, the lines with the last digit 2 in 2 0-minute intervals, with the last digit 3 in the 3 0-minute intervals, and the lines with the last digit 6 in 6 0-minute intervals. Other lines outside of this scheme are the school lines S91 and S92, which only run on school days in rush hour traffic. The line designations with numbers were introduced on November 12, 1978, before the urban bus routes had letter designations.
With the "Netz 2017+", CVAG carried out another line reform on December 10, 2017. The basic structure was retained, but now there are also some lines ending with 9 , which are used by minibuses every 60 minutes. Line 79 only runs every 70 minutes for technical reasons. At this point in time, a ring line was introduced for the first time with line 82A / 82B, which runs around the city center through the immediate suburbs of Bernsdorf, Lutherviertel, Sonnenberg, Schloßchemnitz, Kaßberg and Altchemnitz. Such a line was planned as early as the 1930s.
Line 21 (Chemnitz-Center – Zentralhaltestelle – Ebersdorf)
From October 1, 1926 to mid-1931, a bus line ran from the main train station via Emilienstraße and Zeißstraße to Hilbersdorf, Huttenstraße. However, it did not run with a regular all-day timetable, but the entry and exit trips of the bus lines were operated as a line trip to Garage Huttenstraße. From June 1, 1927, the line was officially designated with the letter G and was discontinued in mid-1931 when the bus depot was relocated to Kappel. From November 1962 to spring 1963 and again from April 20, 1964 to June 18, 1965, an express bus line P drove in rush hour traffic from Poststrasse to Hilbersdorf, Zeißstrasse, to reinforce the tram.
Today's line 21 was opened on December 20, 1975 as line E from Borna via the central station to Ebersdorf and replaced the parts of tram lines 4 and 8 that were closed on that day. It connects the districts of Borna, Schloßchemnitz, Sonnenberg, Hilbersdorf and Ebersdorf with the City center. In Hilbersdorf, the line initially ran towards the city via Zeißstraße, but has only been on Frankenberger Straße in both directions since April 2, 1979.
Until December 4, 1981, it was reinforced in rush hour traffic by the line F or 22 between the central stop and Hilbersdorf station. This line replaced tram line 9, which was closed on that day, from November 17, 1975 and initially ran as an express line across the Strait of Nations. It had no intermediate stops between the central stop and Florastraße (or towards town Orthstraße). From April 2, 1979, it drove over the Sonnenberg like line 21 and now stopped at all stops.
An E21 line between the central stop and the newly opened Chemnitz-Center in Röhrsdorf supplemented the service in the direction of Borna from November 2, 1992. This line was also extended to Ebersdorf on February 1, 1997 and integrated into the line 21. At the same time, some trips on line 21 to Wildparkstraße in Röhrsdorf were extended. On June 1, 1997, line E21 was renamed 22 and finally merged with line 21 on May 30, 1999, which has been going to the Chemnitz Center since then.
The turning loop Borna was not used by buses from December 1, 1999 to March 30, 2008, during this time all trips on line 21 went to the Chemnitz-Center. Since 2004 the regional line 254 has been running from Limbach-Oberfrohna via Röhrsdorf and Chemnitz-Center on the route of line 21 to Ebersdorf and the two lines complement each other at a joint 10-minute cycle. With the network reform in 2008, the trips to Wildparkstraße were discontinued, since line 254 stops there every hour. In addition, outside of the shop opening hours, the journeys of line 21 end again in Borna. Since September 1, 2014, individual trips on line 21 have been running in Röhrsdorf to the Siemens plant on Röhrsdorfer Allee.
Line 22 (Glösa central stop)
Line 22 has only existed in this form since the network changeover on March 30, 2008. It connects Glösa, Furth and Mühlenstraße with the city center. The section from the center to Furth-Glösa (now the Rosental stop) was opened on February 21, 1972 as part of line R (later 23 and from July 31, 1989, line 26) and replaced tram line 7. From January 15, 1973 they ran the buses in rush hour traffic to the new bus turning point at Glösa station, where line 22 still ends today. On November 15, 1973 this route was introduced all day.
From 2008 to December 10, 2017, line 22 continued via the central stop to Chemnitzer Straße. Nothing has changed in this route on Saturdays and during the school holidays, even on weekdays during the day in 2017, as the carriages from the central stop go as route 52 to Chemnitzer Straße and on to Hutholz. At the other times, however, they change to lines 51 or E51. The route in the city center changed in 2017, however, so that line 22 now serves the main train station instead of Mühlenstrasse. The connection via Mühlenstraße was taken over by line 51.
Line 23 (Neefepark – Zentralhaltestelle – Heinersdorf)
Line 23 also uses a route that has only existed since 2008. It connects the Neefepark via Neefestraße and Zwickauer Straße with the center and then leads via the main station, Mühlenstraße and Nordstraße to Heinersdorf. Outside of shop opening times, it only runs between the central bus stop and Heinersdorf. Heinersdorf has been served by a bus route since January 17, 1937. Line Z (from 1951 line E) ran from there to Borna and continued to Zschopauer Straße until 1939. The line route along Nordstrasse and Blankenburgstrasse was only served by buses on October 15, 1973 with line S (later 44, from 1991 line 41, from 2002 to 2003 line 51).
The western part of the line to Neefepark emerged from line 54, which opened on November 3, 1994 and ran between the central stop and Neefepark, or from 1997 to 2004 from Sachsen-Allee (Thomas-Mann-Platz) to Neefepark. When the network was changed on March 30, 2008, this section was completely taken out of the network, so that Neefepark was no longer connected to the city center without having to change trains. Line 23 only ran between Annenstrasse and Heinersdorf. The gap was not closed again until the next timetable change in December 2008 and the 23 to Neefepark was extended. Since December 10, 2017, every second journey coming from Neefepark has ended at the central stop on Saturdays, so that a bus only runs every hour to Heinersdorf.
Line 26 (Schönau – Stelzendorf – Hutholz)
The short line 26 connects the tram terminals in Schönau and Hutholz and runs through the village district of Stelzendorf. It emerged from line 39 on March 30, 2008. This was opened on November 3, 1969 as rush hour line L, which drove with a few journeys from the central stop via Neefestrasse, Jagdschänkenstrasse, Stelzendorf, Schönau and again via Neefestrasse back to the central stop. From 1975 the line also operated outside of rush hour traffic and from 1976 it ran on weekends via Zwickauer Straße, Stelzendorf and Stollberger Straße changing direction, i.e. counterclockwise in the morning and clockwise in the afternoon. In 1977 this line was extended to the days of the week.
When the tram to Schönau opened in 1988, the line only ran from Schönau via Stelzendorf, Stollberger Straße and Südring back to Schönau. The change of direction at the time of the day was retained. From 1989 to 1995, individual journeys made again to the central stop in the mornings. From 2001 the ring traffic was canceled and the buses commuted between Schönau and Morgenleite via Stelzendorf. In 2002 it was extended via Markersdorf and Helbersdorf to the Wendeschleife Am Flughafen. In 2004, the route was changed again and the line went via Hutholz, along Volgograder Allee and through Markersdorf to Morgenleite. The section from Hutholz to Morgenleite became line 52 in 2008, so that today the buses run as line 26 only between Schönau and Hutholz.
Line 31 (Yorckgebiet – Zentralhaltestelle – Flemmingstraße)
Line 31 connects the prefabricated building area east of Yorckstrasse (Yorckgebiet) via Sonnenberg, central stop, Kaßberg and through Altendorf with the clinics along Flemmingstrasse. It goes back to bus route A, which opened on February 1, 1922, and was the first bus route for city transport in Chemnitz. It initially ran from Limbacher / Werderstrasse (today Erzbergerstrasse) via Erzbergerstrasse and Ammonberg to the state institute (today's terminus Flemmingstrasse). Although it was given up again in October 1922, it was finally introduced on March 15, 1925. The city-side terminal changed several times in the following 50 years. The buses ended at Erzbergerstraße until 1926 and from 1941 to 1953 and from 1954 to 1957. From 1926 to 1930 it was at the main station, from 1930 to 1941 and again from 1953 to 1954 and 1957 to 1961 on West- / Franz-Mehring -Straße, from 1961 to 1968 on Zwickauer Straße and from 1968 to 1975 at the central stop. It was not until February 1, 1975 that the route to the terminus at Friedrich-Engels-Strasse (now the Yorck area), which is still valid today, was introduced. From 1968 to 1969 there were express trips in the direction of thrust on Line A during rush hour. From December 14, 2003, every second trip on line 31 ran over the newly built Wendeschleife Klinikum Flemmingstraße. It kept its line number as one of five lines when the network was changed in 2008. Since the network changeover in 2017, all trips have been via Flemmingstrasse Clinic.
Line 32 (Dresdner Straße - Central Stop - Reichenbrand)
Like many lines, line 32 was only created in this form when the network was changed in 2008. It connects the Dresdner Strasse with the local hospital, over the southern part of Hilbersdorf, the street of the nations, the central stop and the Limbacher Strasse with Rottluff and Rabenstein. In Rabenstein it leads past the DRK hospital and ended at the Chemnitz zoo until 2017, since then at the Reichenbrand loop. In the outskirts of the day, some journeys end in Rottluff.
Before 2008, three different lines ran on these routes. The northern section from the central station to Dresdner Strasse went into operation on November 17, 1975 as an extension of line B, which from 1978 already had line number 32. Although it replaced tram line 9, which was closed on that day, it did not go north of Wilhelm-Külz-Platz to the Hilbersdorf school like this one, but on a different route to Dresdner Straße. In 1996, line 32 to the bus station was withdrawn and line 33 went to Dresdner Straße until 2008.
The middle section of the line from the central stop to Rottluff was tram line 3 until 1988. When this was shut down on November 6, 1988, there was initially a replacement rail service and, from 1989 to 2008, bus line 23.The western part from Rottluff to Rabenstein was on 15 July 1929 was opened as the state regional bus route 215 (from 1943 route 197). It was discontinued in 1945 due to the war and reopened as urban line L on May 24, 1953. In Rabenstein, this line had carriage transit on line K (later 38) to Siegmar station, in which it was absorbed in 1958. From 1993 line 38 connected the DRK hospital on Unritzstrasse.
Line 33 (Bernsdorf – Adelsberg)
Line 33 has a feeder function to tram line 2 and connects the Adelsberg district to the tram terminus in Bernsdorf. It was opened on July 10, 1950 as line C from Bernsdorfer / Wartburgstraße to Kleinen Weg in Adelsberg. From 1956 to 1966 there were individual trips to the recovery settlement (Zschopauer / Hermersdorfer Straße). At the end of 1967 the line to the Adelsberg Polyclinic (today Adelsberg Church) was extended and from 1971 it drove along Zschopauer Straße to the central stop. On the route from the center via Zschopauer Strasse to Breitenlehnweg (today Liselotte-Hermann-Strasse), the Z bus ran from February 12, 1935 to August 30, 1939. This was to be replaced by a trolleybus line in the 1940s due to the Second World War, however, it did not take place, although in 1942 the catenary masts had already been partially erected. From 1992 the line operated temporarily to the terminal at Am Schösserholz. With the network changeover in 2008, it became a feeder line again and has since started in Bernsdorf. The Schösserholz terminal was now only served by every second trip on the weekend. Since 2017, all weekend trips have been to Schösserholz.
Line 39 (Hutholz – Klaffenbach)
Line 39 runs with minibuses and connects the Hutholz tram terminus via Chemnitzer Straße and the Neukirchen-Klaffenbach station of the Chemnitz City Railway with the village of Klaffenbach. In school transport, there are individual trips from the center of Neukirchen to Klaffenbach and back. These are operated with regular buses. Line 39 emerged from line H, which opened on September 1, 1952. This ran from the Altchemnitz tram terminal to Harthau, where it ended at Albert-Schenk-Straße. It was gradually extended, at the end of 1952 to the Klaffenbacher Mühle, in 1954 to the Klaffenbacher Rathaus and in 1966 finally to the Oberdorf, where the terminal is still located today. It was given the number 36 in 1978, which it wore until the network changeover in 2017.
From 1991 the tram to Altchemnitz only ran Monday to Saturday in daytime traffic, so that the bus line 36 was extended to Annaberger / Scheffelstraße in the remaining times, where there was a connection to tram line 5. After it had been connected to the Einsiedel line J or 37 since it was opened in 1952, line 36 was added to this line in 2000, which now ran from Einsiedel via Altchemnitz to Klaffenbach. With the opening of the city railway to Stollberg on December 15, 2002, this link was abandoned and line 36 was reintroduced. She now drove from Neukirchen-Klaffenbach station, or in school traffic from Neukirchen, to Klaffenbach. Only one trip in school traffic, as line S36, continued from Klaffenbach via Altchemnitz to Einsiedel until 2008. With the network changeover on March 30, 2008, line 36 was extended to Hutholz. In 2017 it was renamed 39 due to the operation with minibuses.
Line 41 (Schönau – Grüna)
Line 41 is the western extension of tram line 1. It runs at tram intervals from its terminus Schönau via Neustadt and Siegmar to Reichenbrand and with a few trips on to Grüna. Some trips on line 41 are also trips on regional bus lines 126 via Grüna to Hohenstein-Ernstthal, 152 and 251 via Mittelbach to Zwickau or Lichtenstein and 253 to Limbach-Oberfrohna (Rußdorf district). The line emerged in 2008 from bus line 24, which in turn replaced the disused tram line to Siegmar in 1981. An earlier forerunner was the F line, which was only operated from June 1, 1951 to January 1952 from the main train station to Siegmar station in rush hour to reinforce the tram.
From May 9, 1981, line 24 ran from the central station to Siegmar (today's terminus Reichenbrand). As early as 1980, replacement rail traffic had been operated between the industrial plant (Guerickestrasse) and Siegmar. It was supplemented by line 25, which ran during rush hour and only to the industrial plant. With the opening of the new tram to Schönau on August 1, 1988, line 25 was discontinued and line 24 only ran from the tram terminus in Schönau. After the tram only ran in daytime traffic from November 1, 1993, the number 24 was extended to the central stop at the other times.
The incorporation of Grüna and Mittelbach required these places to be connected to the local transport network. Until then, they were only accessible by regional bus routes. In 2000, line 24 was therefore extended beyond Reichenbrand with a few trips to Grüna and Mittelbach. In Mittelbach, the buses turned at Landgraben across the industrial park. In Grüna, the bus turning loop was opened on December 21, 2000 on the western edge of the town. With the conversion of the line network in 2008, line 24 became line 41 and the trips to Mittelbach were discontinued. Mittelbach can now only be reached with regional buses from lines 152 and 251, but these now also stop at the additional stops in the village that have been created for city traffic.
Line 42 (Schönau – Rabenstein)
On March 30, 2008, the connection from Schönau via the settlement on Kopernikusstraße to Oberrabenstein was re-established with line 73. It is operated by minibuses and initially only ran in daytime traffic; in the evenings, additional journeys were made using scheduled taxi services. From the 2017 timetable change, the line was condensed to a 20-minute cycle and renamed accordingly to line 42.
Line 43 (Rabenstein – Am Flughafen – Gablenz – Adelsberg)
Line 43 is the longest bus line in the city network with a travel time of up to 77 minutes. It begins in Rabenstein at the zoo. From there the route leads through Siegmar and through the industrial areas around Neefestrasse, via Lützowstrasse to Stollberger Strasse, where the turning loop at the airport is located, which is the end of the line for every second journey on Saturdays. On weekdays and Sundays, during the day in general, and on Saturdays every second journey, continue on Scheffel and Werner-Seelenbinder-Strasse through Reichenhain, Bernsdorf, over Sachsenring and Ossietzkystrasse to the terminal at the Adelsberg depot, and on weekdays every second journey beyond that to Adelsberg , where the terminus is in the street Am Schösserholz. The commercial areas around Neefestrasse are sometimes only served during rush hour traffic or only on weekdays, the Neefepark only from Monday to Saturday, so that the travel time during off-peak times is significantly reduced. On Sundays, the buses only need four minutes to travel from the Neefe- / Pasteurstrasse stop to Wismut GmbH, while they take 15 minutes for this route during rush hour.
The first forerunner of today's line 43 was created early. In the 1930s, the transport company planned to set up a ring bus line around the city center. The first section of line R was opened on October 24, 1934 and ran from the Planitzstrasse depot (today Heinrich-Schütz- / Zietenstrasse) via Dietzelstrasse (now Hofer Strasse), Fürstenstrasse, Yorckstrasse, Oststrasse (Augustusburger Strasse), Geibelstrasse, Sachsenring, Kreherstrasse, Breitenlehnweg (Liselotte-Hermann-Strasse), Zschopauer Strasse, Grenadierstrasse (Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse), Bernsdorfer Strasse and Wartburgstrasse to the cemetery. The route of the planned ring line should actually continue via Scheffelstrasse, Helbersdorfer Strasse, Lützowstrasse, Zwickauer Strasse, Ulmenstrasse, Salzstrasse, Müllerstrasse back to the Planitzstrasse depot. However, the line was not profitable and was discontinued after a few weeks on November 16 of that year.
The later line 43 was created on November 2, 1970 as line P, which in rush hour traffic from Paul-Gruner-Strasse (near Annaberger / Scheffelstrasse) via Werner-Seelenbinder-Strasse, Augsburger Strasse, Bernsdorf and Sachsenring to Hans-Beimler-Strasse ( today again Geibelstrasse) and drove back via Ossietzkystrasse and Wartburgstrasse to Paul-Gruner-Strasse. It was extended to Gablenzplatz in 1972 and from 1973 drove on Jägerschlößchenstraße instead of Augsburger Straße. From 1975 it drove beyond Gablenzplatz to Friedrich-Engels-Straße (today Yorckgebiet) and on the other side from 1978 to Stollberger Straße / Südring. In 1984 it was finally linked with line 50 and extended beyond Friedrich-Engels-Strasse via Palmstrasse, Strasse der Nations, Blankenauer Strasse and Glösa station to Draisdorf. At that point it was already the longest line on the network. The southern end point was moved to Friedrich-Hähnel-Straße (now Ikarus) in 1992, and finally to the southern settlement on Stollberger / Markersdorfer Straße in 1993. Until then, line 43 was a pure commuter service line, it was not until 1993 that it was also operated on weekday mornings.
In 1997 the section Yorckgebiet – Draisdorf was renamed again to line 50 and the 43 now ended again in the Yorckgebiet as it did until 1984. From 1999 the southern end point was at the turning loop at the airport. In 2001, rush hour traffic was only used between Bernsdorf and Yorck area, which was the case from 2002 onwards for the entire line, which ended at Annaberger / Scheffelstraße at the same time as in the 1970s. From 2004, the 43 drove via Gornauer Straße and Am Stollen instead of directly through Jägerschlößchenstraße to connect the residential area on Reichenhainer Mühlberg. When the line network was changed in 2008, this line was incorporated into the new line 43, which now runs on Augsburger Straße instead of Mühlberg.
The eastern part of today's line 43 began as a private regional line from Oberhermersdorf (today Adelsberg) to Chemnitz, which ran briefly in the winter of 1926/27. This connection was only available regularly from 1929 as line 198. The city-side terminal was initially at the Gablenz tram terminal (Augustusburger / Eubaer Straße). This line was operated from 1951 as urban line G (later 35). The terminus in Adelsberg was at Gasthaus Stopp (today the Kleinolbersdorfer Straße stop). In 1967 it was extended to the Am Schösserholz settlement and, on the city side, at the same time to Gablenzplatz. In 1978 the buses drove to the new tram terminus on Carl-von-Ossietzky-Straße, only during rush hour a few buses drove to Gablenzplatz until 1983. When the network was changed in 2008, line 35 was merged with the new line 43.
Finally, the western part of today's line 43 goes back to the former line K (or 38), which was opened between Siegmar station and Rabenstein in 1952. From 1958 it drove to Rottluff and from 1976 via Neefestrasse and Südring to Stollberger Strasse, first to the terminus at Friedrich-Hähnel-Strasse, and from 1980 to Helbersdorf. In rush hour traffic it was supplemented from 1976 by emergency vehicles between Siegmar station and Stollberger Straße, which ran as route 51 from 1978. In addition, from 1978, line 53 ran between Siegmar station and Helbersdorf, but was discontinued in 1983. The route of line 51 has been changed several times and most recently it ran between Chemnitzer Strasse and Mauersbergerstrasse until 2000. Line 38 ran between Helbersdorf and Rottluff until 1999. From 1994 to 1999 it ran on Zwickauer Straße instead of Neefestraße. In 1999 the route was changed and the 38 now ran again via Neefestrasse and connected the industrial areas that were created there. At the same time, it was extended beyond Helbersdorf through Markersdorf to the Südrandsiedlung. In 2002 the route was changed again and the buses now drove from Rottluff via Scheffel-, Werner-Seelenbinder- and Augsburger Straße to Bernsdorf. The section from Rottluff to Rabenstein was transferred to line 32 in 2008, the remaining part of the line was merged with the new line 43.
With the network changeover in 2008, the cars in Rabenstein drove alternately to the Rabenstein Center and the zoo. Only since 2017 have all cars been going to the zoo. Sunday traffic was also introduced on the section from Am Flughafen to Adelsberg in 2017.
Line 46 (Borna – Wittgensdorf)
Line 46 connects the districts of Borna and Wittgensdorf. It drives in a loop ride over Wittgensdorfer Straße, Leipziger Straße and Bornaer Straße through Borna. It was created in 2008 as a union of the previous lines 45 and 28 and at that time initially drove from Glösa via Borna and Wittgensdorf, Chemnitztal to Wittgensdorf-West. The connection from Borna to Wittgensdorf has existed since 1991, when line 45 first made spur journeys to the lung sanatorium (today the Kornweg stop), which had been extended to Wittgensdorf, outdoor pool in 1994. From 2005, the journeys via Wittgensdorf no longer led to the outdoor swimming pool, but to the Wittgensdorf school.
The Wittgensdorf location, which until then was only served by regional traffic, was only opened up on March 1, 2000 by line 27, which ran from Glösa via Draisdorf to the Wittgensdorf industrial park on the western edge of the village, sometimes with wagons on line 25, which ran from traveled there via Röhrsdorf to the Chemnitz Center. As of August 24, 2000, the continuous journeys to the Chemnitz Center were designated as line 28 and line 27 was finally discontinued in 2002. With the network changeover in 2008, the direct connections from Wittgensdorf to Draisdorf, Röhrsdorf and the Chemnitz-Center were abandoned and line 28 was merged with the newly created line 46.
In 2017, however, line 46 was split. The section from Glösa to Borna is now used by the extended line 63, the section to Wittgensdorf-West by the newly created line 96. Both Wittgensdorf lines have a connection to the Chemnitz railway line C13 at the Wittgensdorf Mitte stop.
Line 51 (Zeisigwald / Yorckgebiet - central stop)
Line 51 connects the city center with Mühlenstraße, the Sachsen-Allee shopping center, Heinrich-Schütz-Straße and the Yorck area as well as the Zeisigwaldstraße hospital. The line goes back to line R (later 23), which replaced tram line 7 in 1972 and ran from Furth-Glösa via the central stop to Lenin- / Zeisigwaldstraße. In the same year it was extended to the Zeisigwaldstrasse hospital. Line Z (later 50), which was part of line 43 from 1984 to 1997, ran between Yorckgebiet and Thomas-Mann-Platz (and on to Glösa or Draisdorf) from 1977 onwards. From 2001 on, line 50 was only used as a scheduled taxi and was discontinued at the end of 2005 without replacement. It was not until the line changeover in 2008 that the connection from the Yorck area to Thomas-Mann-Platz was offered again as a wing of line 51. The trips to the Yorckgebiet run as line E51.
From 2008 line 51 continued in the south along Reichenhainer Straße to Altchemnitz or Reichenhain. However, with the opening of the tram to Technopark on December 10, 2017, it was limited to the northern section. After the tram, line 73 now runs to Altchemnitz and line 53 to Reichenhain. Since 2017, the trams on line 51 have continued from the central stop on lines 22 and 52. This means that at certain times of the day there are again trips from the Zeisigwaldstraße via the city center to Glösa.
Line 52 (central stop - Hutholz)
The current line 52 has existed since the timetable change on December 10, 2017. It connects the city center with northern Altchemnitz, Helbersdorf and Wolgograder Allee. At the central stop, on Saturdays and during the school holidays, the cars change to line 22 during the day and on school days to lines 51 and E51 during the day. At other times, the cars turn around at the central stop and stay on line 52. The cars run from Wolgograder Allee in both directions to the Wendeschleife Chemnitzer Straße at the shopping center there.
The northern line section went into operation on January 5, 1977 to Helbersdorf as line W, which initially only ran in rush hour traffic. It ran all day from November 21, 1977 and was extended to Markersdorfer Strasse 79 during rush hour. From April 3, 1978, she drove all day to Markersdorfer Straße 79 and emergency vehicles reinforced them in rush hour traffic to Helbersdorf. From 1978 onwards, the line was numbered 49, the emergency vehicles were given the number 48. On June 3, 1979, route 48 was discontinued and the frequency of route 49 was increased during rush hour.
The tour to the original terminus at Zum Hutholz (former Wolgograder Allee loop) took place on September 27, 1981, Burkhardtsdorfer Strasse (now the Alfred-Neubert-Strasse stop) was reached on April 23, 1984, and on February 25, 2001 it was finally extended to to Kaufland on Chemnitzer Strasse. As early as February 7, 1983 to April 23, 1984, line 57 operated as a forerunner from Helbersdorf to Max-Müller-Straße.
When the line network was changed in 2008, line 22 was introduced from Glösa via the central stop to Chemnitzer Strasse, which had replaced line 49. It was divided into lines 22 and 52 at the 2017 timetable change and the southern section was extended to the Hutholz terminus.
Line 53 (Chemnitzer Straße – Technopark)
Line 53 connects the large housing estates Hutholz, Stollberger Straße and Helbersdorf and the village district Markersdorf with Altchemnitz, Reichenhain, Bernsdorf and the campus Reichenhainer Straße of the TU Chemnitz .
The western part of the line emerged as line 52 during the network changeover in 2008 from part of line 39, but has its origins in line C, which was opened on April 28, 1926. This ran from the main station via Stollberger Straße and Helbersdorf to Markersdorf, Gasthof. From 1932 it became a feeder line and drove from the Altchemnitz church to Markersdorf. Helbersdorf was now only connected by a few trips. After the end of the Second World War it was line D (later 34) that took over this route. From 1951 it drove again between Altchemnitz and Markersdorf and ended at the Südrandsiedlung on Stollberger Straße / Ellenbogen. From 1959 she drove all trips from Fritz-Heckert-Platz (today Falkeplatz) via Helbersdorf and Kauffahrtei to Markersdorf. The city-side terminus was the central stop from 1968. The route over Kauffahrtei and tennis court was given up in 1976 and the buses drove directly through Helbersdorfer Strasse and over the new Südring. From 1978, the line no longer ran on Helbersdorfer, but on Stollberger Straße. The Markersdorf terminus was relocated to Stollberger / Markersdorfer Strasse in 1981, the city-facing terminus in 1982 to Friedrich-Hähnel-Strasse, where other buses had to be changed.
In 1991 it was extended beyond Markersdorf along Wolgograder Allee to Burkhardtsdorfer Strasse and from 1993 to the Wolgograder Allee loop. From 1998 the buses ran from Helbersdorf, but with car throughput on line 51, which ran to Stollberger Straße and on to Siegmar. In 1999 line 34 was added to other lines. The section from Helbersdorf to Markersdorf was taken over by line 38, the route along Wolgograder Allee was now only served by line 48. In 2002 the lines in the Markersdorf area were changed again. Line 39 now runs from Schönau via Markersdorf and Helbersdorf to Stollberger Straße. In 2004 the route was changed again and line 39 now ran from Schönau via Hutholz and Wolgograder Allee to Markersdorf and the Morgenleite terminus.
With the network changeover in 2008, line 52 was introduced, which took over the section of line 39 from Hutholz to Morgenleite, but instead of using the eastern Markersdorfer Straße, it ran via Südring and Robert-Siewert-Straße to Markersdorf. It was launched on Dittersdorfer Strasse on July 7, 2008 and discontinued on December 14, 2008. The tasks were taken over by line 93, which now ran from Neefepark via Stelzendorf, Hutholz and Markersdorf to Morgenleite. On May 5, 2009, the route was changed again and the 93 ran over Südring and Robert-Siewert-Straße. Line 52 was reintroduced on August 9, 2010 and line 93 was shortened to the Neefepark – Hutholz section. Since then, as in 2008, the 52 has been running from Hutholz to Morgenleite.
There was already a connection from the residential estates Wolgograder Allee and Stollberger Straße to Altchemnitz in 1994/95. To connect the Altchemnitz Center (ACC) on Annaberger Strasse to the Fritz Heckert residential area, line 64 ran from October 1, 1994. It ran as a ring line from the Altchemnitz tram terminus via Annaberger Strasse, Südring, Wolgograder Allee, Stollberger during shop opening hours Straße, Scheffelstraße and Annaberger Straße back to Altchemnitz. The line was operated in the daytime change of direction, in the morning and in the morning it ran counter-clockwise, in the afternoon and in the evening clockwise. The trial run initially ran for three months. From January 2, 1995, she only drove to and from ACC and the trial operation was extended by a further three months. After the trial run ended, it was discontinued on April 1, 1995 without replacement. This connection was only revived in 2017 with the introduction of line 53.
The eastern part of line 53 has a long history. Line B (later 32) was opened as early as January 5, 1929, initially going from Falkeplatz to Reichenhain. From 1931 or 1932 it became a feeder line and only ran from Bernsdorf to Reichenhain. From 1937 to 1939 it ran back to the city center. After the Second World War, the line was operated from Bernsdorfer / Wartburgstrasse and was linked to line C to Adelsberg. To connect the new parts of the Technical University, the O line from the main train station to Reichenhainer Straße 83 (at the cemetery) was introduced in 1964 and ran during the lecture period. In 1971, lines B and O were connected and line B (from 1978 line 32) now ran from the main station to Reichenhain. In 2008, the southern part of line 32 was replaced by line 51, which now ran to Reichenhain. With the opening of the tram to the Technopark, however, this line was dropped south of the city center. The new line 53 now connects Reichenhain to this new tram route via Bernsdorf. From December 10, 2017, the terminus was initially on the TU campus, but since February 26, 2018, at the Technopark turning loop. Between Scheffelstraße and Altchemnitz, line 53 also replaces the discontinued tram line 6.
Line 56A / 56B (Bernsdorf – Kleinolbersdorf – Altenhain – Bernsdorf)
The connection from Kleinolbersdorf and Altenhain was initially carried out in regional traffic. Line 205 to Kleinolbersdorf was opened on November 1, 1928. It was extended to the Sternmühle in 1934 and finally to Altenhain in 1953. In 1964, line 204, which went directly to Altenhain, added the connection between the two places. It was discontinued in 1992. In 1976 the T-205 line was extended to Altenhain, coal trade. With the incorporation of Kleinolbersdorf-Altenhain, line 205 was transferred to city traffic and was operated as line 53 from the beginning of 1997. From June 1, 1997, it was extended to the Am Erlenwald stop in the Altenhain industrial park. At the same time, the offer was expanded considerably, including a. with trips to and from Bernsdorf - connection to the tram - with the line designation E53. From 2001 these shortened journeys were made under line number 52. Line 53 was discontinued in December 2003 and all journeys ended in Bernsdorf. In 2008 the line was converted into the new line 56: A general hourly service was introduced, with a ring route that is operated alternately, with deviations in school traffic. The late and public holiday traffic was expanded according to the same scheme and switched to call line taxi operation. Since November 20, 2013, line 56 has been running a short distance north of Gornauer Strasse on the new federal highway 174 . At the same time, the line to the Goldener Hahn inn on Zschopauer Strasse was extended. Line 56 has been running with the line designations 56A (clockwise) and 56B (counterclockwise) since February 26, 2018.
Lines 62 (Flemmingstraße – central stop – Adelsberg depot) and 72 (Rottluff / Flemmingstraße – central stop – Heimgarten)
Lines 62 and 72 complement each other from Weststraße to Lutherviertel at a common 10-minute cycle. The connection was only established in 2008 when the route network was converted. The western part of the lines goes back to the 1983 tram line 8 from the central stop to West / Kochstraße, which was replaced by bus line 26 from this point in time. In 2000 it was extended to Rottluff via Waldenburger Straße.
The eastern part of the two lines goes back to a connection that was planned as a trolleybus as early as the 1930s . Construction of the line had already started in 1942, but could not be completed due to the war. So it took until May 4, 1962, until the Lutherviertel was connected to the bus network. Line N (later 41) ran from Poststrasse (today the central stop) via Zschopauer Strasse and Carl-von-Ossietzky-Strasse to Kreherstrasse. From 1967 to 1969 there were even rush hour trips in the direction of thrust. The line was extended in 1971 to Hans-Beimler-Straße (today Geibelstraße) and in 1972 finally to the new terminus at Hans-Beimler-Wohngebiet (today Gablenz).
The northern part of the Lutherviertel around Charlottenstraße was only opened in 2004 by a bus route 57 that went there from Sachsen-Allee (Thomas-Mann-Platz). With the change of line in 2008, lines 26, 41 and 57 were merged with the new lines 62 and 72, with 62 offering a new connection from Flemmingstraße via Rudolf-Krahl-Straße. It runs on Charlottenstraße while line 72 goes directly through Carl-von-Ossietzky-Straße. The 72 drives along Geibelstraße from Carl-von-Ossietzky-Straße in the direction of Liselotte-Herrmann-Straße and turns via Zschopauer Straße, Heimgarten and finds its common starting and end point at the Diesterwegschule. Since December 10, 2017, there have been a number of trips on the edge of the day or all day on Sundays as route 72 from Flemmingstrasse to Heimgarten and back. Trips on line 72 to Flemmingstraße run as line E72.
Line 63 (Borna – Ebersdorf)
Line 63 connects the districts of Borna, Glösa and Ebersdorf. Until 2017 it only drove between Glösa and Ebersdorf, but in Glösa it had partial passage on line 46 to Borna and Wittgensdorf, which it replaced on December 10, 2017 on the section to Borna.
The western part of the line went into operation as Line Z from Heinersdorf via Bornaer and Wittgensdorfer Straße and on via Schloßteich, city center to Zschopauer Straße as early as 1937. Due to the war, it became a feeder line in 1939 and only drove from Heinersdorf to the Küchwaldring. Line E was introduced with this route after the end of the war. From 1961 this line made single trips along the castle pond to Wilhelm-Külz-Platz, from 1975 only to Zöllnerplatz. In 1973, line E was combined with line F to form the new line T, which now ran from Borna to the Glösa sanctuary and, from 1976, via Ebersdorf to Hilbersdorf station. It was renamed 45 in 1978. The additional trips to Zöllnerplatz were withdrawn to Promenadenstrasse in 1991 and extended to the central stop as line E45 in 1993. Also in 1991 the 45 ended again in Glösa, at the same time individual trips were made for the first time via the lung sanatorium, from 1994 via Wittgensdorf, outdoor pool. In 1999, line 45 was again extended to Ebersdorf and, in 2000, it was moved to the Chemnitz Center on the other side. Line 63 was introduced with the line reform in 2008, but now only ran between Glösa and Ebersdorf. The western part was served by line 46 until 2017.
The eastern part of line 63 goes back to line F, which opened in 1952 and ran from the Furth-Glösa tram terminal to the Glösa sanctuary. From 1954 to 1955 there were a few trips to Draisdorf, and from 1956 to 1961 a few trips to Müllerstrasse. When the tram was shut down in 1972 in Furth-Glösa, it was necessary to change to bus line R, which was soon extended to Glösa station. In order to avoid parallel traffic, on November 1, 1973, line F was connected with line E from Borna, which was now also running to Glösa, to form the new line T, which now ran from Borna via Glösa station to Glösa health resort. It was extended to Hilbersdorf station in 1976. In 1978, line T was renamed 45 and the rush hour trips from Glösa station to Glösa sanctuary were given line number 52. In 1991, line 45 was split and the Glösa – Hilbersdorf section became line 52, which ran all day. Already in 1999 the two lines were reconnected and line 45 has been running to Ebersdorf since then.
Line 69 (Hilbersdorf – Brettmühle station)
The line was opened on November 18, 1957 as line M (later 40) from Ebersdorf (Lichtenauer Strasse) to Mittweidaer Strasse / Goldweg and extended to Brettmühle in 1967. It only ran in rush hour traffic. From 1971 the city-side terminal was at Hilbersdorf station. From 1991 to 1997 some trips on line 40 went via Lichtenwalde, Allkauf. These trips took place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, while the regular line 40 continued to only run during rush hour. At the beginning of 2000 morning traffic was resumed on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but on the normal route of the line to the Brettmühle. It was only with the change in the route network in 2008 that the buses now also run every hour on weekdays in the mornings and from this point on they carried route number 66, from 10 December 2017 route number 69.
Line 73 (TU Campus – Altchemnitz)
Line 73 was introduced on December 10, 2017 as a feeder line to the tram and as a replacement for the discontinued line E51. It only runs Monday through Friday until around 9 p.m.
A line from Dresdner Strasse to Reichenhain, designated since 1978 as line 32 (previously B), was supplemented from 2002 by line 42 to TU Erfenschlager Strasse. The two lines merged on March 30, 2008 in the new line 51, which instead of Jägerschlößchenstraße was now led directly via TU Erfenschlager Straße. Around every second journey still ended as line E51 on Erfenschlager Straße and these journeys were extended to Altchemnitz as of August 25, 2008. Since December 2010, line X51 has also been running during rush hour traffic from the bus station to Erfenschlager Straße, so that on line 51 there is sometimes a 5-minute cycle. With the opening of the tram to Technopark, line 51 was shortened to the central stop. The southern section from the TU campus to Altchemnitz, which has not been replaced by the tram, has been operated as line 73 ever since. From February 26, 2018, it will be compressed to a 15-minute cycle on the section up to Erfenschlager Straße on weekdays. The amplifiers run as line E73.
Line 76 (Altchemnitz – Einsiedel – Eibenberg)
.JPG)
Line 76 goes back to line J, which opened on June 9, 1952 (summer 1978 I, from the end of 1978 37), which ran from Altchemnitz to Erfenschlag, Am Steinberg. It was extended to Funkstraße in 1953, to August-Bebel-Platz in Einsiedel in 1958 and to the forge in 1959. From 1966 the terminal in Einsiedel was again on August-Bebel-Platz. After the tram to Altchemnitz only ran daily from Monday to Saturday from 1991, line 37 was extended to Annaberger / Scheffelstraße at the other times. From 1993 to 2008 the line ran initially with a few journeys, from 2006 with all journeys via the district court Saydaer Straße. This route was abandoned when the network was changed in 2008. From 1997 to 1999 some trips on line 37 drove through the Waldklause car park in Einsiedel. From 2000 to 2002 the line was run via Altchemnitz to Klaffenbach.
The places Berbisdorf and Eibenberg were connected by regional bus routes (routes 209 and 212) from 1963. From 1984 the T-212 line ran as a ring line from the bus station via Einsiedel, Eibenberg, Berbisdorf back to Einsiedel and to the bus station. The service of these parts of the city was transferred on August 25, 1997 to the new urban line E37, which ran from Einsiedel as a ring line via Berbisdorf and Eibenberg to Einsiedel. Due to numerous long-term construction sites in Berbisdorf and Eibenberg, the ring connection was repeatedly interrupted until 2009. In 2002 the line was connected to line 37 and some of the buses ran from Altchemnitz to Eibenberg. School traffic from Klaffenbach to Einsiedel was introduced as early as 1997. Until 2008, individual trips also ran from Altchemnitz over the Harthauer Berg to Eibenberg and Einsiedel. In 2008 line 37 was renamed 53 and in 2017 it was renamed 76. The last renaming took place with a view to the planned extension of the Chemnitz-Bahn to Thalheim, which will lead to the shortening of line 76 on the ring from Einsiedel via Berbisdorf and Eibenberg, which will then only be used every hour. Until the opening of the railway line 76 continues to run every 30 minutes and to Altchemnitz.
Line 79 (central station – Küchwald)
The line was created as a “City-Bus” (unofficially line 77), which from June 2, 1996 ran a minibus from the market hall as a ring line via Georgbrücke, Brühl, Hauptbahnhof, Moritzstraße, Jakobikirchplatz to the market hall in daily traffic from Monday to Saturday. Line number 77 was officially introduced in April 1999. In 1999 the route was changed, which now leads from the market hall via the Hechlerberg, the Salzstraße and the Zöllnerplatz to the Brühl. In the center, instead, she drove directly over Bahnhofstrasse and Theaterstrasse instead of the winding path through the city center. From 2000, the line will also travel to the terminus of the Chemnitz Park Railway on Küchwaldring, but only during this railway's operating season. In 2002 the route was changed again and the minibuses now drive over the mountain road instead of over the steep Hechlerberg.
On September 7, 2001, line 55 was also opened, which went from the bus station via the main train station, central station, and Küchwaldkrankenhaus to the Chemnitz Clinic, after a new loop had been opened at the Chemnitz Clinic. In December 2003, lines 55 and 77 were connected to the new line 56, which now ran from the market hall via Schillerplatz, Brühl, Salzstraße, Parkeisenbahn, Leipziger Platz, Küchwaldkrankenhaus to the Flemmingstraße Clinic and partly via Talanger, Albert-Schweitzer-Straße, Rudolf- Krahl-Straße and Flemmingstraße turned and now also represented a district bus for the Altendorf new building area.
From 2007, she also drove by means of a branch drive into the road from the edge of the forest to the railroad settlement (today's terminal in Küchwald). As early as September 3, 2006, the railway district was connected to the city center by line 525A. The line number was chosen because the City-Bahn Chemnitz plans to set up a stop on the railway line with the course book number 525 running along it. The bus was intended as a forerunner operation, but the construction of the stop has been postponed and will not take place until 2018. When the line network was changed in 2008, the line was renamed 76 and now runs from the central stop via Mühlenstraße, Zöllnerplatz, Salzstraße, Luisenplatz, Küchwaldkrankenhaus to the railway station. On December 10, 2017, the line was given line number 79.
Line 82A / 82B (TU Campus – Kaßberg – Schloßberg – Sonnenberg – TU Campus)
Line 82 was designed as a full ring line and introduced on December 10, 2017. It does not replace existing lines, but represents a new offer. It connects the university and the research facilities on Reichenhainer Strasse with the Mitte train station and the districts of Kaßberg, Schloßberg, Sonnenberg and Bernsdorf. Cars travel clockwise as line 82A, counterclockwise the cars travel as line 82B.
As early as the 1930s, the transport company planned a ring bus route around the city center from Planitzstraße (today Heinrich-Schütz- / Zietenstraße) via Dietzelstraße (today Hofer Straße), Fürstenstraße, Yorckstraße, Oststraße (Augustusburger Straße), Geibelstraße, Sachsenring, Kreherstraße , Breitenlehnweg (Liselotte-Hermann-Strasse), Zschopauer Strasse, Grenadierstrasse (Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse), Bernsdorfer Strasse, Wartburgstrasse, Scheffelstrasse, Helbersdorfer Strasse, Lützowstrasse, Zwickauer Strasse, Ulmenstrasse, Salzstrasse, Müllerstrasse back to Planitzstrasse. A section from the Planitzstrasse depot to the municipal cemetery was used as line R for a few weeks in 1934, but it was not profitable. The plans were initially not pursued any further.
With the opening of the tram route to the Technopark, the bus network in the Reichenhainer Straße area was redesigned and line 82 was also introduced. The terminal was initially at Technopark, where the cars turned and passengers had to get off. Switching to the other part of the ring was not possible directly. On February 26, 2018, the route was therefore changed and line 82 now runs as a full ring line without having to change trains with the terminal at the TU campus. In addition, it now drives between Technopark and TU Campus via Werner-Seelenbinder-Straße and thus performs an additional feeder function from the Sportforum and the municipal cemetery to the tram on the TU Campus.
Line 86 (Gablenzplatz – Niederwiesa)
The line was originally operated as a regional bus route. In 1934 line 204a from Chemnitz to Euba was opened. It was renamed to line 204 in 1951, to line T-202 in 1964 and to line T-246 in 1967. In 1953 the line was extended to Niederwiesa, and in 1978 finally to Lichtenwalde. After the incorporation of Euba, the Gablenzplatz – Euba section was operated as urban line 44 on October 31, 1994. The regional line 246 now only ran from Euba to Lichtenwalde, from 1996 to Ebersdorf, Brettmühle and from 2000 in school traffic to Flöha. This regional line was renamed to line 706 in 2001 and from August 9, 2001, the section from Euba to Niederwiesa was also used for city traffic, so that line 44 was extended there. For the line changeover in 2008 it was renamed 83 and on August 10, 2008 it was extended to the school center in Niederwiesa. After the clock was increased to 60 minutes, CVAG renamed the line to 86 on December 10, 2017.
Line 89 (depot Adelsberg – Dresdner Straße)
The line goes back to line 62, which opened on May 10, 1993. It only ran during rush hour from Gablenz to the Beutenberg settlement. Morning traffic was introduced as early as 1995. With the conversion of the route network in 2008, it was renamed 86 and in 2017 finally 89. Also in 2017, the line was extended to the terminus at Dresdner Straße of line 32, creating an additional transfer option.
Line 93 (Hutholz – Neefepark)
Line 93 was not created until December 14, 2008, when lines 42 and 52 were combined. It traveled from Neefepark via Stelzendorf, Hutholz, Wolgograder Allee, Dittersdorfer Strasse, Markersdorf to Morgenleite. From May 5, 2009 the route was changed and the buses now drove over the Südring and Robert-Siewert-Straße. The Hutholz – Morgenleite section was spun off again as line 52 on August 9, 2010 and since then line 93 has only operated between Neefepark and Hutholz.
Line 96 (Chemnitz-Center – Wittgensdorf)
The line was created when the network was switched on December 10, 2017. It connects the Chemnitz-Center shopping center with the Siemens factory and the western part of the Wittgensdorf district. At the Wittgensdorf Mitte stop, the cars have a connection to the Chemnitz-Bahn line C13. The line replaced the shortened line 46 in Wittgensdorf.
Line S91 (Sportforum – Humboldtplatz)
For school traffic , especially the Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium at Humboldtplatz, the S91 line has been running on school days from the Sportforum via Reichenhain, Bernsdorf, Sachsenring and Gablenzplatz since March 30, 2008 . It partially replaces line 43, which previously ran on this route. With the 2017 timetable change, the S91 line was extended to the TU Campus, where there are options to change to the tram.
Line S92 (Klaffenbach – Einsiedel)
Another school line is the S92 line, which runs from Klaffenbach via Altchemnitz and past the Einsiedel grammar school to Einsiedel, August-Bebel-Platz. On December 10, 2017, it replaced the single journeys on line 53 (now line 76) on this route.
Night lines
The first pure night lines were in use from July 22, 2001. The tram lines 11 (Hutholz – Hauptbahnhof – Gablenz) and 12 (central station – Bernsdorf), which were previously operated on the edge of the day and now extended to night traffic, were replaced by the two night bus lines 13 (Chemnitzer Strasse – Helbersdorf – Am Flughafen – Zentralhaltestelle – Schloßberg) from that day –Borna – Wildparkstraße) and 14 (Rottluff – Flemmingstraße – Weststraße – Central stop – Yorckgebiet – Palmstraße – Ebersdorf) added. With the network changeover on March 30, 2008, the eight-line night bus network that still exists today was introduced. Two of the lines run at the central stop in the carriage throughput. In 2008, the N12 line was still running in the direction of the Yorck area via the Zeisigwaldstraße Clinic. As of December 13, 2009, the N17 line will travel inland via the Wendeschleife Klinikum Flemmingstraße. The N14 line initially went to Annaberger / Scheffelstrasse via Lutherstrasse, TU Reichenhainer Strasse, Bernsdorf, Reichenhain and Sportforum. Today's route via Altchemnitz has been operated since December 9, 2012. Since June 1, 2015, the N15 has been running towards the city from Hutholz directly on Stollberger Strasse instead of Robert-Siewert-Strasse and Wolgograder Allee. With the timetable change on December 10, 2017, the route of line N14 was changed and it now runs as a ring line and only in the direction of Bernsdorf via Sportforum, Altchemnitz and Reichenhain.
The following night lines are operated:

Connections that are no longer in use
A special line for excursion traffic without a line name ran from July 15 to September 6, 1931 in good weather at the weekend from Wettiner Platz (Thomas-Mann-Platz) via Dresdner Straße to Weisse Weg.
To connect the airfield to Stollberger Straße (today's Ikarus stop), the L bus line was introduced on May 2, 1958, which was mostly operated by minibuses. On November 1, 1962, the line was discontinued without replacement, only ten years later buses returned to the airport, which had already been closed at the time, and where there was a bus turning loop until 1993.
To connect the miners' hospital (now the DRK hospital) on Unritzstrasse, a special line ran on hospital days from April 3, 1966 to September 1, 1970.
From April 16, 1979 to August 29, 1980, a special line without a line number ran from the Nord Heizkraftwerk via Nordstrasse, Müllerstrasse and Chemnitztalstrasse to the Furth secondary school.
With the opening of the tram to Schönau, a bus line 53 was introduced on August 1, 1988, which served the Usti nad Labem street for the first time. It only ran as a ring line from Schönau via Südring, Stollberger Straße, Usti nad Labem and Südring back to Schönau during rush hour. It was discontinued on October 14, 1991 and replaced line 51, which had been running on the Usti nad Labem road since May 1991. From September 1, 1993, when the Friedrich-Hähnel-Straße turning loop at the former airport was closed, to August 28, 1997, when the new bus turning loop was opened at the airport, line 34 also turned over the Usti nad Labem street. Line 51 was discontinued on May 28, 2000 and the western street Usti nad Labem has since been without bus connections again.
A bus that had previously operated as company traffic ran as public route 61 from Helbersdorf on June 1, 1992, via Wolgograder Allee, Stollberger Strasse, Lützowstrasse and Zwickauer Strasse to Schönau. It served as a connection for the workers in the industrial area on Zwickauer Strasse, who lived in the Fritz Heckert residential area . Line 61 only ran in the direction of thrust, early to Schönau and in the afternoon in the opposite direction. On May 30, 1999, it was shortened to the Am Flughafen – Schönau section and ran on line 43 in the carriage throughput. On May 28, 2000, it was discontinued without replacement.
The “senior bus” ran from June 3, 1996 to April 1, 1999. The internal line numbered 66 only ran on weekday mornings from the Südrandsiedlung (Stollberger / Markersdorfer Strasse) along Stollberger Strasse to the central stop. After the opening of tram line 4, the senior citizen bus became obsolete.
A new line 66 ran from June 3, 2001 on Sundays from Easter Sunday to October 31 from the market hall via Augustusburger Strasse, Adelsbergturm, Sternmühlental, Erdmannsdorf to Augustusburg Castle . From June 4, 2005, it was also operated on Saturdays. On June 24, 2006, the route was changed and it no longer served the Adelsberg Tower and the Sternmühlental, but drove directly to Augustusburg and in a loop via Hennersdorf. Besides, she only drove on Sundays again. It was last used on October 31, 2007 and was not put back into operation for the 2008 season.
For events at the Chemnitz Exhibition Center , an M1 line ran every half hour from September 6th, 2008 to December 10th, 2017 from the main train station via the central stop, Zwickauer and Neefestrasse to the exhibition center, where it ended at the parking lot on Jaenickestrasse. The line was discontinued in 2017. The fair will continue to be connected via lines 23 and 43.
Regional traffic
First years
Public overland road traffic began as early as the end of the 17th century in Chemnitz, when the stagecoach line from Dresden via Chemnitz to Zwickau was opened on July 13, 1693, and from 1697 on to Nuremberg. In 1696 a line was added from Leipzig via Chemnitz to Annaberg and in 1711 a line from Chemnitz via Marienberg to Prague. Before the opening of the first railway, stagecoaches also drove to Schneeberg, Meißen, Rochlitz and Glauchau. Most of the stagecoach lines were replaced by railways in the second half of the 19th century, but now there was also a need for transport to smaller places that were not directly accessible by railways.
On August 13, 1910, the automobile bus company Penig-Chemnitz AG opened the first intercity bus route in Chemnitz. It began behind the Old Theater and led across Leipziger Strasse to Penig, where it ended on the market square. Intermediate stops were at Leipziger Platz, at the Borna tram terminus (Grüner Hof), at Bismarck-Schlößchen, in Röhrsdorf, at Wasserschänke, in Hartmannsdorf (three stops), in Mühlau, on Niederfrohnaer Straße, in Chursdorf, in Tauscha and in Penig on the green linden tree. In Hartmannsdorf, the line crossed the bus line from Mittweida to Limbach, which had been in operation since 1906.
On September 4, 1910, a line was opened along Stollberger Strasse to Neukirchen (Goldener Stern), followed by a line from Nikolaibahnhof (today Chemnitz Mitte) via Mittelbach to Oberlungwitz, Zum Hirsch, on April 5, 1911. The line to Oberlungwitz was not profitable and was discontinued on June 14, 1914 and replaced by a bus line from Wüstenbrand train station to Oberlungwitz. On June 11, 1912, a bus of the Erzgebirgische Kraft-Omnibus-Verkehrsgesellschaft drove for the first time from Chemnitz via Thum and Geyer to Annaberg-Buchholz.
With the outbreak of the First World War , intercity bus traffic ended for the time being on August 18, 1914. Emergency vehicles only drove to Neukirchen until 1915. After the end of the war, the intercity bus service was nationalized and the State Motor Vehicle Administration , founded in 1912 , gradually opened bus routes from Chemnitz to the surrounding area. These were line 12 to Annaberg-Buchholz (from June 13, 1920), line 16 to Neukirchen (from May 13, 1920), line 19 to Drebach, Wagenhalle, via Gelenau (from December 11, 1920), line 20 via Röhrsdorf and Kellers to Limbach (Café Dittrich) (from March 26, 1921), line 21 to Penig (from July 11, 1919) and line 36 via Gornau to Zschopau, train station (from October 6, 1921). In addition, line 9 was set up in 1919, which ran regularly between Zwickau and Oelsnitz and at times had a few trips via Niederdorf to Chemnitz. The departure point of the lines was at the main station, only the Neukirchen buses left at the Nikolaibahnhof.
Traffic had to be significantly restricted during the inflation. The line to Zschopau was closed on April 1, 1922, the other lines on November 5, 1922. In the meantime, the Freistaat Sachsen Kraft-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft was founded on December 23, 1919 and took over the management of motor transport on January 1, 1923 which, however, continued to rest.
Between inflation and World War II
After the end of the inflation, intercity bus routes were set up again from 1924, and from 1925 the Deutsche Reichspost also ran bus routes to Chemnitz. From 1927 onwards, express lines were set up in more distant places. At the beginning of 1929 the three-digit line numbers were introduced, some of which are still valid today. The numbers 200 to 211 were assigned clockwise for the lines in the local area from Chemnitz. Lines to Chemnitz, which originated in other places, had numbers outside this range. The lines established later were given numbers before and after this area. At the end of 1930 the following network existed:
| line | Track | Length (km) | operator | set up |

The central departure point for most lines was still in front of the main train station. As a result of the global economic crisis, some connections were discontinued in the early 1930s, so from December 1, 1931, line 251 only ran between Chemnitz and Oberlungwitz via Mittelbach, but was extended to the main station, so that there was no change to the tram in Siegmar. Line 215 was also discontinued in 1932, but was operated again from 1939. At the same time, excursion traffic in particular was increased. In 1931, line 196 was extended to Altenberg, and from May 21, 1932, an express line 630a ran from Leipzig to Oberwiesenthal via Chemnitz in the summer.
An important event was the annexation of the Sudetenland in 1938. At the end of the year there were already seven new bus routes: line 207a via Marienberg, Zöblitz, Rübenau to Komotau, line 207b via Marienberg, Reitzenhain to Komotau, line 207c via Olbernhau, Obergeorgenthal to Brüx, Line 210a via Weipert, St. Joachimsthal to Karlsbad, line 210b via Weipert, Preßnitz, Wernsdorf, Niklasdorf to Kaaden, line 210c via Weipert, Preßnitz to Komotau, and line 210d via Weipert, Preßnitz, Kupferberg to Pürstein. Further new lines ran from 1935 via Frankenberg to Mittweida (line 555) and on to Leisnig (line 558), from 1940 via Klaffenbach to Burkhardtsdorf (line 243). By April 1945 at the latest, all lines had to be closed due to the war.
After the Second World War
After the end of the war, the Kraftverkehrs-Gesellschaft still had 144 of the 538 buses and 45 of the 86 trailers. On July 9, 1945, the first intercity bus after the end of the war ran with line 200 to Leukersdorf during rush hour. By 1946 most of the pre-war lines were back in operation. Of the original postal lines, only lines 204 (from November 1945), 204a (from June 1946) and 198 (from 1946) came back into operation. 1950 to 1951, all post lines were taken over by the now state-owned Kraftverkehr Sachsen. After the dissolution of the state of Saxony, the district administrations took over the motor traffic, so that from 1953 the Karl-Marx-Stadt motor traffic was responsible for the then renamed Chemnitz.
The winter timetable 1954/55 provided for the following lines in what is now the city and the surrounding area of Chemnitz:
| line | Track | Line number from 1956 | Line number from 1960 |

| 253 | Karl-Marx-Stadt - Rabenstein - Limbach-Oberfrohna | 1170-22 (253) | T-253 |
With the timetable change on June 3, 1956, a new line system was used. The system that had been introduced by the Deutsche Reichsbahn for its lines before the Second World War was adopted, starting with the nearest railway timetable number and increasing the line number by 1000. As this would have resulted in numerous double assignments, the individual lines were given a one or two-digit number, which was added to the four-digit basic number with a hyphen. In addition, the previous line number was put in brackets after it. So was z. B. from line 210 to Oberwiesenthal line 1169-20 (210). The cumbersome system was given up on June 2, 1960 and the old line numbers - partially changed - were now preceded by the code letters of the district in order to avoid duplication in the GDR. The line to Oberwiesenthal was now called T-210.
From 1960, the network of intercity bus routes around Chemnitz / Karl-Marx-Stadt remained largely unchanged. An important innovation, however, was the commissioning of the bus station at Schillerplatz in Chemnitz on January 7, 1968. A parking facility was also set up behind the departure stands. The departure point for the overland lines had been at Schillerplatz since 1960, as the area at the main train station was being rebuilt. Even today, the bus station serves as the end point for several overland routes.
Development since 1989
Only after the political turnaround around 1989 were some lines handed over to the city traffic of Chemnitz after the places served had been incorporated. In addition, the operator of the lines changed. The Autobus Sachsen (later Regionalverkehr Erzgebirge (RVE)) took over most of the lines to the west and south, while the northbound lines were taken over by the REGIOBUS Mittweida (RBM). Line 152 to Zwickau is operated by the Kaiser travel service from Zwickau, as it was in the GDR. The routes to Kleinolbersdorf and Altenhain were taken over by the Altenhain-based company Döhler Reisen, which still operates route 56 there on behalf of CVAG , which has since become part of the urban transport network. The eastbound lines were initially taken over by the Freiberg transport company , but in 2009 they were merged into the RBM, which was also renamed REGIOBUS Central Saxony.
On December 20, 1999, the converted bus station in Chemnitz went into operation. In 2001 some lines were renamed and the area from 700 onwards was used for the lines going east. In addition, some lines were removed from the city center of Chemnitz that year and end at transfer stations to the tram. The "T-" in the line name also disappeared in 2001. The express bus service was largely abandoned, but line 526 operated by the City-Bahn Chemnitz (CBC) runs on the motorway to Limbach-Oberfrohna. It serves as a replacement rail service for the discontinued line to Limbach. On August 13, 2018, the ExpressBus 383 was also introduced, which runs from the city center via Neefepark (stop only for entry or exit) directly via the motorway to Aue and from there alternately on to Schneeberg or Schwarzenberg. As of August 2018, the following lines were in operation. Most lines run every hour on weekdays and every two hours on weekends. On January 1, 2019, line 126 Chemnitz-Schönau - Hohenstein-Ernstthal and line 254 Chemnitz-Ebersdorf - Limbach-Oberfrohna were integrated into existing lines 21 and 41.

Long-distance transport
On September 28, 1936, the first long-distance bus line was put into operation by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which traveled from Dresden via Chemnitz to Plauen, and from 1939 via the autobahn. Another such line went into operation on December 18, 1937 from Dresden to Weimar. This traffic initially ended in 1944.
After the Second World War, long-distance bus traffic was only resumed on April 2, 1957 with a line via Freienhufen to Berlin and in the same year with a line to Erfurt. The first holiday lines to the Baltic Sea were created in 1959 with lines to the islands of Usedom and Rügen. The lines to Berlin and Erfurt had been discontinued in 1960 and 1964 respectively. In neighboring Czechoslovakia, from April 1, 1972, regular buses ran as the T-1000 to Karlsbad. At the same time, however, the Baltic Sea lines were discontinued in 1972/73. From 1980 the line to Karlsbad was only served by the Czechoslovakian ČSAD , which drove to Chemnitz (then Karl-Marx-Stadt) in the morning and back again in the afternoon.
After the end of the GDR, the local bus companies began to set up new long-distance routes again. From 1990 onwards, German buses again drove to Karlsbad on the T-1000 line, so that a day trip without an overnight stay was possible. In 1995 Bayern Express Omnibus briefly set up a line from Dresden via Chemnitz to Munich, but without great success. The Deutsche Touring Gesellschaft drove from Cologne to Brno via Chemnitz from 1998 to 2000 and from Dresden to Valencia via Chemnitz from 1999 to 2000.
Autobus Sachsen introduced a new long-distance bus line for the first time in 2000 with the T-1001 line to Prague. In 2002 the line 1005 to Usedom and 1006 to Rügen were added, which already existed in the 1960s. From 2004 line 1008 went to Rerik, line 1009 to Zingst. During these years, various companies set up bus routes to Ukraine, Moldova, Slovakia, Russia and Hungary. After the liberalization of long-distance transport in Germany in 2012, numerous regular bus services were added to various German cities, including Dresden, Erfurt, Frankfurt / Main, Munich, Nuremberg, Würzburg and Berlin.
