The positive balance after half a year can hardly be overlooked. The number of visitors in the city, in the museums and the gastronomy have received a strong thrust, such as Diocese of Dresden-meissen.de reported.

This year's motto "C the Unseen" invites everyone to make the invisible visible. More than 1,000 events have already taken place, including the Chemnitz cosmos, the Hut Festival, the European Capital of Culture Marathon and the Purple Path. These formats not only attracted many visitors, but also enriched the cultural life of the region sustainably.

insight into the future of the region

The Capital of Culture Chemnitz has set itself the goal of making important topics visible and bringing people together. This is also emphasized by chemnitz2025.de : Art and culture should initiate sustainable changes and mark West Saxony as a liveable industrial region on the European map.

Another exciting project is the video work by Klaus Pobitzer, which was created by calling to the Chemnitz population. Digital drawings of garages that show motifs from extraterrestrials to everyday objects will be presented until June 14th. The dense compositions offer a unique view of socially critical topics and combine real and fictional elements. This exhibition is part of the extensive program for the Capital of Culture, such as chemnitz.de reports.

As you can see, Chemnitz is not quiet and has a lot to offer. The coming months promise exciting cultural experiences and encounters. If this is not a reason to go on a journey to the cultural capital!
