On Monday, 26 August at 12 noon, the Ostdeutsche Sparkassenstiftung and Sparkasse Chemnitz will hand over a funding commitment for the reconstruction of the Karl Schmidt-Rottluff House in Chemnitz.

Lord Mayor Sven Schulze, Ludger Weskamp, Chairman of the Board of the Ostdeutsche Sparkassenstiftung, Dr Michael Kreuzkamp, Chairman of the Board of Sparkasse Chemnitz, and Sonja Oehlschläger, Chairwoman of the Board of the Foundation in Honour of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, will be available to answer questions.
