The Chemnitz is a river in Saxony, Germany, a right tributary of the Zwickauer Mulde. It gave name to the city of Chemnitz, where it is formed by the smaller rivers Zwönitz and Würschnitz. It joins the Zwickauer Mulde near Wechselburg, south of Rochlitz and has a total length of 75km (47miles).
On 22 June 1930, a bridge over the Chemnitz River collapsed, plunging 200 spectators who had been crowding on the bridge into the water and injuring 90 of them.[1]
