Chemnitz 2025 invites you to discover the region, to see it with different eyes, perhaps even to leave familiar paths.

This is because 38 towns and municipalities from Central Saxony, the Zwickau region and the Ore Mountains together with Chemnitz form the European Capital of Culture region and together hold the title of "European Capital of Culture".
