Stefan Schmidtke has been in office as Managing Director of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 GmbH since 1 December. We would like to introduce him in more detail and therefore met him for an interview with Beate Düber at the Garage Campus. What emotions does he associate with Chemnitz, how does one find out about his appointment as CEO, how are the numerous ideas in the bid book dealt with?

The interview was recorded on 2 December 2021 at the future Garage Campus.
