Invitation to the exhibition opening

The Bunter Brühl alliance invites you to the opening of the exhibition "Tønsberg and Thor Steinar from National Socialist concentration camp to right-wing scene shop" on Tuesday 14 April at 6.30 pm in the exhibition room of Chemnitz town hall.

In response to the opening of a Thor Steinar shop called Brevik three years ago, the Bunter Brühl alliance launched an initiative to investigate the background to the clothing label. One result of this research is now being presented. "Tønsberg and Thor Steinar - from National Socialist concentration camp to right-wing trendy shop" is the title of the resulting exhibition, which offers insights into the history and establishes the connection to today's right-wing extremism. The project is funded by the Local Action Plan for Democracy, Tolerance and a Cosmopolitan Chemnitz.

The exhibition can be seen in Chemnitz City Hall from 14 to 30 April.
