Amerika (German pronunciation: [aˈmeːʁika]) is a former company settlement in the German state of Saxony and a district of the town of Penig. As a small village of 79 residents (2010), it is known merely for its name, the German word for America, which was given to it in the 19th century. In 1836, a spinning factory was built on the left bank of the river Zwickauer Mulde, but houses for workers and clerks were not built until 1870. Initially, because a bridge was only built much later, workers and visitors coming from the right bank of the river had to cross the water using stepping stones or boats to access the place. As "crossing the pond" in those times was chiefly understood as emigrating to America, the factory was named "Amerika" by the local population. The name became official in 1

Com a petit poble de 79 residents (2010), es coneix només pel seu nom, la paraula alemanya per a Amèrica, que se li va donar al segle xix. El 1836 es va construir una fàbrica de filatura a la riba esquerra del riu Zwickauer Mulde, però les cases per a treballadors i empleats no es van construir fins al 1870. Inicialment, perquè un pont només es va construir molt després, van obrir-se treballadors i visitants del marge dret de el riu va haver de creuar l'aigua amb pedres o barques per accedir al lloc. Com que "creuar l'estany" en aquells temps s'entenia principalment que emigrava a Amèrica, la fàbrica va ser anomenada "Amerika" per la població local. El nom es va fer oficial el 1876 (de passada, el centenari dels Estats Units d'Amèrica) quan l'estació de ferrocarril del poble va rebre el nom de "Amerika". La fàbrica es va tancar el 1991. Amerika va formar part d'Arnsdorf fins al 1993 i, juntament amb aquesta última, va passar a formar part de Penig el 1994. El 1995, la ciutat de Penig va comprar els edificis del Treuhandanstalt, i comerços nous i un museu (inclòs Des d'aleshores s'han establert tallers de serrallers i talladors d'arxiu, alimentats per una turbina d'aigua reformada).

The name became official in 1876 (incidentally, the centennial of the United States of America) when the village's railway station was named "Amerika". The factory was closed in 1991. Amerika was part of until 1993 and, together with the latter, became part of Penig in 1994. In 1995, the town of Penig bought the buildings from the Treuhandanstalt, and new trades and a museum (including workshops of locksmiths and file cutters, powered by a refurbished water turbine) have been established since.
