Kamenz (German: [ˈkaːmɛnts] ) or Kamjenc (Sorbian, pronounced [ˈkamʲɛnts]) is a town (Große Kreisstadt) in the district of Bautzen in Saxony, Germany. Until 2008 it was the administrative seat of Kamenz District. The town is known as the birthplace of the philosopher and poet Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and Bruno Hauptmann, convicted kidnapper of the Lindbergh baby (though his guilt is questionable). It lies north-east of the major city of Dresden.
