Discover Chemnitz off the beaten track – thanks to the very special ChemNetz city map. Over 60 places of little-known independent culture will be uncovered for residents and visitors to Chemnitz. Unique venues, meeting places and projects that make the city a place worth visiting and living in. Pick up a free copy of the dual-language map at various locations, or get a digital version. 25 supporting events will be hosted all over the city throughout the Capital of Culture year, making the vibrant cultural offerings of these neighbourhoods on the visible. Local maps will be created by children for children, walking trails inspired by residents’ personal stories, and talks and workshops will examine how cartography can change the perception of a city. The message is clear: there is no shortage of culture in Chemnitz. You just have to discover it. And ChemNetz is a great place to start.
