With ten stops along the way, this trail lets you explore the garages of Chemnitz – including one that may resemble your own. Plus, the high-rise garage built in 1928 as well as the Villa Esche vehicle shed, probably the oldest garage in Chemnitz. The trail can be experienced both analogue and digital. Design students from the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle created the information boards and small-format objects at each station. QR codes lead you to images and sounds that paint a vivid picture of the history of the garages, the people who use them and the city of Chemnitz.
