"And what do we in Augustusburg get out of it?" - Reading & Talk

Location

entrance free

From A for Amtsberg to Z for Zwickau: one year, 38 Saxon towns and municipalities - and just as many events. This is Stefan Tschök's ambitious plan for the Capital of Culture year 2025. Tschök has a degree in transport economics, was the spokesman for Chemnitz transport company CVAG for a long time and has been involved in Chemnitz's bid to become European Capital of Culture from the very beginning. Now he wants to gather opinions on the major event in the region - with an extensive series of talks. in 2025, he will visit all the places along the "Purple Path" in the Capital of Culture region around Chemnitz and talk to the residents. In Augustusburg, he can be experienced in the Lehngericht. Tschök will be joined on stage by Jens Schmidt, Mayor of Augustusburg, as a guest panellist.

"And what do we get out of it?" is the motto of this unusual tour. Tschök has written the book "Was? Chemnitz?!" (Paperento Verlag), subtitled: "On the risks and side effects of a cultural capital. And why everything (usually) turns out well in the end". With this tongue-in-cheek "instruction manual for the Capital of Culture" (in Tschök's own words), he wants to know: What does the title actually mean for the towns in the region? What takes place in the municipalities, what doesn't? And what could be done better?
