history

Mühle, Limbacher Strasse 380

The former Waldhufendorf probably originated in the 12th century. However, "Rutloff" is first mentioned in a document in 1375. This document says that Rottluff, like the other surrounding villages of the Blankenau rulership, fell to the Chemnitz Benedictine monastery . Rottluff has been parish to Niederrabenstein since 1539. Crafts and trades developed only slowly in Rottluff. It was not until 1900 at the developed industry .

The Rottluffer mill was taken over by Friedrich Schmidt in 1883. Schmidt's son, the later expressionist Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, was born in their house in 1884 . The mill was rebuilt in 1892 after a fire. After 30 years, the seriously ill Friedrich Schmidt sold the mill in 1913 to Paul Kaden , co-founder of the Sächsische Brotfabrik-Union Reimann & Kaden .

From the 19th century the place developed into a housing estate for the Chemnitz workers. Nevertheless, the place was not incorporated into Chemnitz until 1929 as the last district before the Second World War.

traffic

Rottluff is connected to lines 32, E32 and 72 by local buses operated by CVAG .

Until 1988 the old "rumbling" tram of line 3 drove over Limbacher Straße to Rottluff. After this tram line was closed, bus route 23 ran to the central stop before the section to Rottluff was renamed to route 32 on March 30, 2008 as a result of a network change.

Rottluff is limited to the west by the A 72 . The district has had its own junction there since 2009. The Kalkstraße is to be connected to the southern network one day.
