Chemnitz Peace Day on 5 March
Under the guiding principle of joint and active remembrance, the Chemnitz Peace Day working group and the city of Chemnitz, together with numerous initiatives, associations, churches, educational institutions and committed citizens, are inviting people to take part in a diverse programme.
"The Chemnitz Peace Day brings together people who are asking themselves questions in view of the current wars, the discussion about armament and the ability to wage war: Where is the intensive endeavour for peace? Who is taking responsibility for peace in the world and between us? What can each of us do? Answers are not easy. But the desire for peace and the concern for its preservation unites us all on this special day. It's great and important for us to see that so many people are taking part this year than ever before," says Sabine Kühnrich, spokesperson for the Chemnitz Peace Day working group.
The Chemnitz Peace Day combines historical remembrance with current issues of peaceful coexistence. The aim is to keep memories alive and at the same time open up perspectives for respectful coexistence in the present and future.
The Chemnitz Peace Day working group can also look back on a quarter of a century of intensive voluntary work. There will also be an exhibition on the Neumarkt.
