Hainichen is a town in the German Free State of Saxony. It is about 15 miles northeast of Chemnitz and has been an industrial region in the past.

During World War II, a subcamp of Flossenburg concentration camp was located here. [Christine O'Keefe."Concentration Camps."www.tartanplace.com/tartanhistory/concentrationcamps.html]

Hainichen's primary manufacture was once that of flannels, baize, and similar fabrics; at the time it may have been called the centre of this industry in Germany.

Hainichen is the birthplace of C.F. Gellert, to whose memory a bronze statue was erected in the marketplace in 1865.
