Karl-Marx-Stadt is the former name of the city of Chemnitz, which is found in the state of Saxony in Germany. The city was renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1953 during the years of the German Democratic Republic, in honor of the philosopher and socialist Karl Marx. However, the name was reverted back to Chemnitz in 1990 following the reunification of Germany.
