Andrea Pier, Commercial Director of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 gGmbH, and Stefan Schmidtke, Programme Director of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 gGmbH, signed the Golden Book of the City of Chemnitz at the Mayor's New Year's Reception this evening.
In doing so, the city is honouring their many services to the sovereign implementation of the European Capital of Culture year. With an estimated more than two million visitors, participants and guests - full houses, international attention, a cosmopolitan atmosphere and extremely positive feedback, Chemnitz 2025 was a great success for the city.
This year, Andrea Pier and Stefan Schmidtke are overseeing the transformation of the gGmbH into a company focussing on the legacy and long-term impact of the Capital of Culture in Chemnitz. Together with Chemnitz Theatre, they are also responsible for the international festival "Theatre of the World" in June.
