Discover the European Capital of Culture 2025

Chemnitz, once an industrial stronghold and the richest city in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, has had an eventful history. From its heyday as a leading city in the textile and automotive sectors to its reorientation after reunification, the city has undergone a remarkable transformation, while always retaining its inventive spirit and cultural identity. A visit reveals the many facets of the city: industrial culture, Eastern modernism, sports city, green oases, Art Nouveau, top-class museums and theatres, open spaces for subculture and culinary delights. Once you have been here, you will see the city with different eyes - in keeping with the Capital of Culture motto "C THE UNSEEN".
