Adorf - to the Upper Vogtland
Adorf is located in the south-west of Saxony and
this is the geographical triangle "Dreiländereck" Bavaria - Bohemia
- Saxony.
In 1293 municipal laws were bestowed on Adorf.
Due
to the convenient and the skills of its people Adorf became a
flourishing town. The economy was dominated by agriculture
handicrafts and trade. The age of industrialization had brought a
new boom. A carpet-producing factory a textile factory and the
mother-of-pearl-production had been established. The pearl oyster
and the carpet enterprise "Halbmond" had made Adorf to a well-known
industrial town.
In recent years Adorf has become a nice holiday
region for young and older people.
