Week full of events in Chemnitz: fire brigade, education and culture!
Find out everything about important dates in Chemnitz from September 8th to 14th, 2025, including openings and celebrations.
Week full of events in Chemnitz: fire brigade, education and culture!
There are exciting events on the program in Chemnitz in the first week of September. Mayor Knut Kunze will open the Vogtland Fire and Disaster Protection Center in Treuen/OT Eich on Monday, September 8th at 9:30 a.m. This opening comes at a time when fire protection is an important issue in Germany, as the need to modernize the infrastructure is becoming increasingly clear. Current statistics show that comprehensive and uniform fire statistics do not exist in Germany, which makes it difficult to improve fire protection. According to FeuerTrutz, more precise data could have a big impact here.
On the same day, a ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. under the patronage of Mayor Sven Schulze for the “School without Racism – School with Courage” initiative in the Medical Vocational School. The importance of tolerance and respect in the school community is emphasized there.
Media literacy in focus
On Monday evening at 5 p.m., the children and youth representative Dina Norberger invites you to an information parents' evening on media literacy in the Technical Town Hall. An important topic because the media landscape is developing rapidly and parents are faced with the challenge of accompanying their children safely through this world.
Tuesday, September 9th will bring a press conference on the “Weimar Triangle Day” event at 2 p.m., followed by Mayor Schulze’s participation in the SPORTS UNITED Awards 2025 at 6 p.m. in the VIP level of the eins Stadium.
Economic dialogue on the European Peace Ride
A highlight of the week will be the economic dialogue on the European Peace Ride on Wednesday, September 10th in Passau. The day starts early with the opening of the in-house exhibition “Saskia Solution Day” at 9 a.m., which Mayor Schulze will take part in. In addition to the economic aspects, the welcome from major Saxon sports clubs at 10 a.m. in the sports forum will also set an example for the importance of sport and team spirit.
Schulze's invitation to the “RE:CONNECT” conference at 12 p.m. and Mayor Ralph Burghart's handover of value checks for tutoring scholarships at 11 a.m. show that education and networking are in the foreground.
Special honors and culture
Thursday, September 11th is all about the city's volunteers. Mayor Schulze welcomes seniors from Chemnitz and the twin cities at 9:30 a.m. The international conference “European Subterranean Worlds” opens on Friday, with an important focus on geology and its significance for the region.
Another highlight is the “Long Night of Training” on Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the town hall, which shows young people prospects and opportunities. In addition, Mayor Dagmar Ruscheinsky's greeting to the “7th Stefan Heym Competition for Young Literature” at 7:30 p.m. will help to offer literary talent a platform.
Open Monument Day
Saturday, September 13th, will be heralded by the opening event for Open Monument Day at 3 p.m. Mayor Schulze will take part in the reception for the participants of the European Peace Ride at 4 p.m. At the end of the week, on Sunday, September 14th, at 10 a.m., there will be a solemn service for Open Monument Day in the Catholic Church. Parish of St. Joseph will take place.
These events not only show the city of Chemnitz's commitment to education, sport and integration, but also underline the continuous efforts in the area of fire protection. The grants for fire protection measures, which are currently the focus of the state authorities, are a crucial step. The Brandenburg website provides information about priorities in fire and disaster protection that are also relevant in this country.
In summary, it is clear that Chemnitz has a lot to offer in the coming week and is worth attending the diverse events and taking an active part in shaping city life.
