A so-called "Fischelant" was found in an abandoned garage on Theaterstraße. How did it get there, was it created by humans and if so, by whom, when and for what purpose? Local experts got to the bottom of these questions in a film - including an archaeologist, a technical historian, an engineer, a car mechanic, a restorer, a veterinary surgeon, the chairman of a garage association and a banker. If what this expert panel surmised proved to be true, it was not only the people of Chemnitz who were in for a golden future.

When? From 24 May to 3 October 2025

Where? Chemnitz, Garage yard Theaterstr. 70
