First results from the workshop of 27 October 2018:

Chemnitz has enough industrial wastelands, but they are often not used. Too bad, the workshop participants thought, and thought up short-term and less costly uses as well as longer-term projects. Whatever the new concepts, it was important to them to preserve the identity and history of the old buildings. And new concepts are possible in countless ways: as open workshops or hostels, as educational facilities and alternative classrooms, as assembly halls or flexible event halls, as multi-generational residential projects or market halls. Short-term interim uses have already been suggested – as a theatre space, competition venue or concert location. A medium-term use as a bicycle parking garage with e-bike rental and self-help workshop was also desired.
