We would like to explore these and other questions on an exciting journey through European urban culture - open air in the Rosenhof, experts will share interesting facts about the city. In a relaxed atmosphere with music and culinary delights, you can discuss or simply enjoy the city together.

Meeting point: TIETZ forecourt, Reitbahnstraße
Read Chemnitz! Join us on exciting city walks and learn more about Chemnitz's architecture and urban development. Read the city together with us, understand how and why individual urban spaces and neighbourhoods have developed in this way and then join in the discussion as to whether their design still meets our needs today.
In three city walks we will explore the city centre, Sonnenberg, Schloßchemnitz and Kaßberg, each with a stop in the respective neighbourhood and enough time for joint discussion. The aim is to understand the city and discuss possible ideas for future urban development - also as a contribution to Chemnitz's bid to become Capital of Culture 2025.
