Klingenthal is a town in the Vogtland region, in Saxony, south-eastern Germany.

It is part of the Musikwinkel, a historical center of musical instrument manufacturing.

In 1591, Sebastian Köppel established a hammer mill near the border to Bohemia on the banks of the Zwota in order to capitalize on the rich deposits of iron ore and the region's vast supplies of wood, both for building and charcoal production.

From 1949 to 1990, Klingenthal was home to the Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke, a state-owned company which was the main producer of accordions, harmonicas, and electronic instruments in East Germany.

While traditionally, the town has been a manufacturing center of musical instruments, it is a ski resort.

It had been a national center for ski jumping when Klingenthal was part of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany).
