Agreement on location development for Chemnitz city centre between the Free State of Saxony and the City of Chemnitz
Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer and Lord Mayor Barbara Ludwig today signed an agreement on site development for Chemnitz city centre.
The Free State of Saxony and the City of Chemnitz have a common goal: the urban development of Chemnitz city centre and the accommodation of important state institutions - economically and attractively for the citizens.
The agreement places a special focus on the development areas in the theatre quarter between Brückenstraße and Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße and the current central bus station as the university location Aktienspinnerei.
The further development of the theatre quarter will be carried out by mid-2020 by drawing up an urban development framework plan based on the urban development study prepared by AS + P, which will then be put on public display. The requirements of the Free State and the City of Chemnitz will be taken into account by dividing up the areas. The necessary media relocation services will be planned by the end of 2019. The Free State is also developing a utilisation concept for the areas it will use.
For the state-owned building at Brückenstraße 10, a generous permeability of the building will be created with the aim of achieving a better visible axis in the direction of the art collection/opera.
With regard to the Aktienspinnerei university site, there is agreement that the site of the central bus station should be purchased and developed by the Free State following the complete relocation of the transport companies. The target date for the purchase is 2021, based on the legally valid development plan no. 96/23 "Schillerplatz/Aktienspinnerei" - southern sub-area of the Aktienspinnerei.
