	Apartment building in closed development	Am Unteren Bahnhof 16 (map)	1903	Originally with a shop, a historicizing, slightly modified building typical of the time, of architectural significance. Four-storey plastered clinker brick building with five axes, first floor probably originally with plaster grooves, now smoothed, side entrance, segment arch openings (these also on the third floor) with heads as keystones, the three upper floors with red clinker brick, floral plaster stucco influenced by Art Nouveau -Ornaments of the window frames and crowning (first floor triangular gable, tendril fields, third floor lion heads), above the two left axes roof house with tail gable and oculus, three small standing dormer windows, design matches with neighboring building number 15 and number 17.	09246590
	Apartment building in closed development	Am Unteren Bahnhof 17 (map)	1903	Originally with a shop, historicizing construction of the city expansion, despite the changed ground floor of architectural significance. Four-storey plastered clinker brick building with five axes, the first floor probably originally with plaster grooves, now heavily changed, side entrance, the three upper floors with red brick, floral plaster and stucco decorations of the window frames and crownings influenced by Art Nouveau (first floor triangular gable, Tendril fields, third floor lion heads), above the two left axes roof house with tail gable and oculus, three small standing dormers, design matches with neighboring buildings number 15 and number 16.	09246589
	Water tower and signal box of the lower Plauen station	At the lower freight yard (map)	1913	Operating facilities of the lower Plauen station on the Gera Süd – Weischlitz line (Elstertalbahn), of significance in terms of technology and railway history. Water tower on a circular floor plan, water tank with a larger area, closure by a conical roof with lantern, unchanged as only a few specimens here. The water tower at the lower station in Plauen was built in 1913 by the Carl Grundwald company from Dresden. From 1916 it supplied the steam locomotives on the Gera-Weischlitz line, which was opened in 1875 by the Saxon-Thuringian Railway Company, with service water. It is an unadorned, plastered brick building whose circular tower shaft tapers conically. A simple belt cornice marks the transition to the far cantilevered tower head, which contains the steel water tank. The tower is closed off by a pointed conical roof with a ventilation hood. The former water level indicator is fragmentary preserved on the track side. As a testimony to the rapidly developing railway system at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, the water tower, built purely according to functionalist aspects, completely unadorned and preserved in its original condition, is of historical railway value.	09246587
More pictures	VOMAG railway bridge (so-called armored bridge )	Holbeinstrasse (map)	1942	Structurally remarkable bridge structure, with war damage from bombs and projectiles as a result of the air raids in 1945, is one of the last testimonies of the machine factory that was once important for Plauen and is also a unique historical testimony to German armaments production and the air raids on Plauen during the Second World War, of great historical importance as well as of high documentation and memory value. Armored bridge: riveted solid steel girder trough bridge with piers and concrete abutments over the White Elster (single-track with a roadway below), with three lanterns from the period after 1945, built in connection with the expansion of VOMAG production to include tanks for the Wehrmacht 1941–1943 Construction of an assembly hall (final tank assembly hall, largest production facility for the Jagdpanzer IV designed by VOMAG) on the left side of the Elster, 1942 construction of the armored bridge for the purpose of rail connection to the Deutsche Reichsbahn network, due to the heavy loads (transfer of railway wagons loaded with tanks, removal via branch track to the lower station) an extremely massive bridge construction was implemented: upper chords as riveted solid wall girders made of strong steel plates, reinforced with stiffeners to prevent buckling, connected under the carriageway by means of cross girders, thus forming an open or trough bridge, during air raids on VOMAG (on Panzerhall e and Panzerbrücke) on March 26th and April 9th and 10th 1945 badly damaged by bombs and weapons from low-level aircraft, but not destroyed due to the stable construction, war damage is still visible today Pump bunker: water extraction point for extinguishing water protected from explosive bombs on the former company premises of VOMAG, brickwork, approx. 140 cm thick concrete cover, loopholes, concrete base for the no longer preserved pump (originally with 100 HP diesel unit), sheet steel door, only this one of the original six pump bunkers remained received until canceled in 2008	09299716

Detailed memorial texts

↑ Armored
bridge : The railway bridge of the Vogtland machine factory, made of strong steel plates and sheets, was used to transfer heavy, tank-laden railway wagons across the White Elster in the direction of the lower station in Plauen and was therefore given the name "Armored Bridge". VOMAG, originally a Plauen-based company known around the world for the manufacture of embroidery machines, also took up tank destroyers during the Second World War after producing vehicles for the Wehrmacht. The assembly hall, newly built on the left side of the Elster River between 1941 and 1943, was connected to the railway network by means of the present railway bridge. The construction, which is extremely stable due to the heavy loads, - a riveted steel solid wall girder trough bridge with a concrete pillar - survived several targeted air raids in 1945. Bomb hits and bullet holes can still be seen on the structure today. The armored bridge is one of the last structural testimonies for VOMAG and is therefore not only of structural and technical historical importance, but also of industrial history due to its special construction due to the great weight of the tanks to be transferred. In addition, the bomb and projectile hits still visible, the bridge structure becomes an impressive testimony to the air raids on Plauen and is therefore of great historical importance as well as of high documentation and memory value.
