The plaque is located at the Gerstenbergerstraße bus stop. It depicts the house at 388 Limbacher Str., only the remains of which still exist. The picture was taken in 1905, the year the bridge was founded, and already shows the bold colors and clear lines that would characterize Schmidt-Rottluff's work in the years to come.
The motif leads past the Schmidt-Rottluff ensemble along the former millrace towards the former quarry, which can still be reached today on a hiking trail.
The grave of the Schmidt family is located in the cemetery. The gravestone was created by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. The motif of Gartenstraße is thought to be not far from the Schmidt-Rottluff ensemble in today's Kieselhausenstraße. It is certain that there used to be many nurseries at this location.
The snow landscape is located by experts in various places: on the Hoppberg, which can be reached via the Rabenstein viaduct, or at the Kupferberg quarry, which can be reached on a hiking trail behind the Rottluffer Wohnmühle. The plaque is located at the Rabenstein rock domes.
The former parish barn - which stood along Trützschlerstraße - no longer exists. The painting is owned by the parish of Rabenstein and is on loan to the Chemnitz art collections.
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff often painted similar motifs on his walks in the area around Rottluff. At that time, there were even more agricultural areas, which have now given way to residential areas, so it is no longer possible to pinpoint the exact location.
The viaduct in Rabenstein can still be seen in its original state. The former railroad bridge has been a listed building since 1986. It has been used as a hiking trail since 1984 after the railroad line was decommissioned and rebuilt. It was reconstructed in 2023 and can now also be used by bike.
