The increase in Sachsen coal mining during the 18th century allowed Chemnitz to develop into one of the most important centres of the German machine and textile industries - factors which gave it the nickname of "little Manchester ". Several large areas of the city were built during this period including Kaßberg and Sonnenberg.
