Public toilets in the city centre

+

There are currently five public toilets located close to the town centre.

These are situated at the following locations:

  • ‚ between the Town Hall and St James’s Church
  • ‚ at the Market Hall
  • ‚ by the Schloßteich
  • ‚ in the Küchwald Pavilion
  • ‚ at the central bus stop

Four of these public toilets currently charge a fee. A charge of 0.50 euros per use applies to these toilet facilities. The five public toilet facilities are managed by a municipal enterprise run by the City of Chemnitz.

All public toilets have accessible facilities that are gender-neutral. Furthermore, at some locations there is also a separation of men’s and women’s toilets, with an equal number of each.

The “Nette Toilette” project, under which restaurants made their toilets available to the public free of charge, was abolished by a City Council resolution (B-283/2024). Many restaurant owners have nevertheless continued to offer this service on a voluntary basis.

"Toilets for Everyone"

At the end of 2024, Saxony’s first ‘Toilet for All’ was opened at Johannisplatz, right next to the central bus stop.

It is specially equipped to meet the needs of people with severe and multiple disabilities.

The specially equipped toilet container features a barrier-free toilet, a reclining chair and a patient lift, and is accessible via the Euro Key for disabled toilets, a standardised locking system used throughout Europe for facilities designed for people with disabilities.

The “Toilet for All” is owned by the Sozialverband VdK Sachsen e. V.
