Debate day on the Capital of Culture
Wednesday, 11 January 2017, 5 p.m., Chemnitz City Hall, Small Hall
On 11 January 2017, a public debate on Chemnitz's bid to become Capital of Culture will be held in the small hall of Chemnitz City Hall. Citizens are cordially invited to comment on the project and present their arguments to members of the federal, state and city governments and representatives of the city administration, the cultural scene, business and creative industries, sport, industry and the university.
The debate will take on the character of an extended council meeting. The only item on the agenda is Chemnitz's bid to become Capital of Culture. The Chemnitz City Council had asked the initiators of the Capital of Culture bid to inform the residents of Chemnitz about the project and to discuss the idea with them. The city council is expected to make a decision on the application at its meeting on 25 January 2017. The debate day can provide important orientation for this.
