Chemnitz during the start: creative minds form the Capital of Culture 2025

Chemnitz, Deutschland - Chemnitz as a European Capital of Culture 2025! Under the spectacular motto "C the Unseen", the dynamic city presents itself as a pulsating center of creativity. Together with the surrounding municipalities, Chemnitz is positioned as the gate to the picturesque Erzgebirge. The city is planning an exciting journey into the cultural world and preparations are in full swing! Behind the major project are numerous creative minds that should enable visitors to discover the hidden treasures of the region.

A look behind the scenes: Andrea Pötzsch is the proud captain of Villa Eschen, an Art Nouveau jewel that was once designed for a textile entrepreneur by the renowned Belgian architect Henry van de Velde. This impressive villa now houses the Henry van de Velde Museum and attracts those interested in culture from near and far. In addition, traditional handicrafts come to the fore; Nils Bergauer, a 41-year-old leather glove from Schneeberg, brings ancient craft traditions back into the light. "This craft is really lived and honored in the Ore Mountains in a variety of ways," he proudly emphasizes. And that's not all! The garages in Chemnitz, of which there are around 30,000, are transformed into cultural hotspots in which exhibitions and concerts are planned.

The cultural scene in Chemnitz blooms thanks to people like Mayor Silke Franzl, who drives the development of a visitor mine to the cultural pilgrimage site. No wonder that the legendary Karl-Marx-Kopf, a symbol of the city, and the breathtaking architecture from the east modern to late Gothic repeatedly attract visitors! And as if that weren't enough, Edvard Munch's "The Scream" will also take minds in the context of a large -scale exhibition project.

The anticipation for the cultural year 2025 in Chemnitz is noticeable. The street artist Uli Aigner and the innovative beer brewer Christian Sack, both of whom set creative and cultural impulses, are just a few of the faces that will cause excitement. A large number of volunteers are already committed and is preparing to offer visitors an unforgettable experience. Chemnitz has the potential to become an impressive cultural capital - and the world is looking forward!
