Take the train. It's meaningfully faster than driving, and the time saved usually justifies the price.
You'll arrive about 12m sooner (31m by train vs 43m by car). Tickets start at around $42 compared to roughly $7 in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.
Direct services run with Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn.
Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.

Advantages
Staff availableclean trainGood equipment and comfortable seatsDisadvantages
Snack machine emptyThe journey from Freiberg to Chemnitz was very relaxing. The train had been very clean and had comfortable seats. I liked the headrests best. There was also a snack machine on the train, which unfortunately was empty. There was staff on the train and they were very friendly. The toilet worked and the facilities on the train were adequate. Unlike other journeys, this train arrived on time at its destination.
Advantages
ComfortableDisadvantages
Takes a long timeThe journey from Freiburg to Chemnitz was a pleasant experience. The train was comfortable and offered enough space for passengers and luggage. The seats were padded and there was enough legroom to sit back and relax. The view during the journey was also beautiful. There were many different landscapes crossed. The journey time is relatively long, but you can put up with that if you want to use the time on the train to read, work or just relax. Overall, I can highly recommend the train journey from Freiburg to Chemnitz as it is a comfortable or relaxing way to travel.
Advantages
CleanlinessDisadvantages
Not on timeI noticed a few positive things about the journey. First of all, I am very satisfied with the cleanliness and hygiene of every single compartment, including the toilets. The staff were also quite nice and there was good wifi and mobile phone reception. Supplies of electricity, food and drinks were also available. The only negative point is that the train arrived late. I can still recommend the trip.
Advantages
PunctualityDisadvantages
ExpensivePoor wifiI took the train from Freiburg to Chemnitz. First of all, I have to say that the wifi there was pretty bad. The seats were also dirty. The staff, however, were very nice. The best thing about the trip was that the train was not delayed at all. Both at the arrival and at the departure. The toilets there were quite clean. On the whole, there were positive as well as negative aspects to the trip. However, the price is far too expensive. Therefore not recommended for people with less money.
Advantages
Punctual arrivalDisadvantages
Delay due to engine damageUnfortunately, there were delays on the train route from Freiberg to Chemnitz due to an engine failure, which is why I arrived in Chemnitz half an hour late. Apart from that, the journey was quite pleasant, not too many people and a pleasant noise level. My ticket was not checked, so I had no contact with the staff. The hygiene was adequate, everything was relatively clean. Unfortunately, the train was only equipped with power sockets, not wifi.
