Tens of thousands of similarly enthusiastic people experienced the atmosphere up close - a moment that stands as a sign of the living culture of the city and emphasizes the importance of the main cultural title, even if it is not absolutely necessary for cultural activities, as the [free Press] (https://www.freiepresse.de/chemnitz-kultur capital-2025/chemnitz-kosmos- between-staub-und-buntem-schum-artikel13849934) notes.with the title of the Capital of Culture, Chemnitz has the chance to set both locally and internationally.

Both cities received the Melina Mercouri Prize of 1.5 million euros, which underlines the importance of their cultural programs, which are intended to offer a strong European dimension, as the EU representation in Germany reported.
In the coming years, numerous events, exhibitions and performances are planned to connect the cities and strengthen civil society. Chemnitz will focus more on community projects and create a network of "European builders of democracy". The Culture Capital Initiative will also have its full effect on the 40th anniversary of the Ecoc initiative in 2025 and create long-term cultural, economic and social advantages for the region.
