ECoC Echo / Knowledge Transfer Seminar

Die Hartmannfabrik spiegelt sich im Fluss Chemnitz, umrahmt von grünen Bäumen.
Das Bild zeigt die Stadtwirtschaft von außen. Ein Teil grüner Rasen ist zu sehen sowie ein junger Baum.
Als Besuchs- und Informationszentrum war die ehemalige Fabrikhalle die zentrale Anlaufstelle für die Gäste der Kulturhauptstadt. Picture: Franziska Wöllner | Picture: Luise Müller | James Tyrrell: Beyond Horizons 2025 aus der Werkserie Ganzfeld Picture: Florian Holzherr |
