Geography

History
The interchange was originally in 1939 built as a trumpet interchange. In 1952 and 1953 it was used as a racetrack. In 1962, in order to lengthen the A 72 towards Leipzig, they built a new interchange west of the existing one. In 2001 it was opened to traffic. On November 14. 2006, the A 72 lanes towards Leipzig were opened to traffic, and Dreieck Chemnitz became Kreuz Chemnitz. The old names for the interchange were: Zwickauer Abzweig, Abzweig Plauen and Abzweig Karl-Marx-Stadt. After the reunification of Germany, it became part of the general German system as a dreieck.
