Lift at Wittgensdorf primary school is officially opened
Invitation to the press event: on 25 September, 10 a.m. in the auditorium of Wittgensdorf primary school, Chemnitzer Straße 2
On Monday, 25 September at 10 a.m., the new lift at Kirchner Primary School in Wittgensdorf will be officially opened after around a year of construction. The new and artistically designed lift will be put into operation in the presence of the mayor of Wittgensdorf, Michael Stötzer, the school management, the local council, the Kultur- und Heimatverein e. V. as well as teachers and pupils. This marks the official handover of the intervention area to the people of Wittgensdorf.
Representatives of the media are cordially invited to attend.
As the assembly hall was previously only accessible via stairs and events could therefore not be attended by everyone without barriers, the local stakeholders decided to install a lift. Now the primary school in Wittgensdorf has barrier-free access and cultural life can be experienced by an even larger group of people. The extension is one of the intervention areas as part of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 (category: public spaces).
To commemorate the German composer and namesake of the primary school - Theodor Fürchtegott Kirchner - a piano keyboard was painted on the outside wall of the lift. Up to 325,000 euros were available for the realisation of the project.
