Intervention Areas

The Chemnitz 2025 urban development project

Chemnitz 2025 brings change - it also has an impact on urban development through so-called intervention areas. These are infrastructure projects that are linked to the Chemnitz 2025 programme - not just as future event venues, but as places that will continue to be useful for the city community in the future. As places for creativity, for discovering shared skills or simply for networking - the construction measures are geared towards the needs of future users and are therefore developed in close cooperation with them, for example through participation formats from the outset.

In the process, 30 locations are being transformed in very different ways: from the traditional Hartmannfabrik, the Chemnitz 2025 visitor centre, to a new district park on a former railway site and a fairground where Christmas markets and village festivals will be held in future.

From rural villages to the city centre, the intervention areas are spread across the entire city area and illustrate the extensive potential for urban development and creative encounters. Some of the intervention areas will become venues for the Chemnitz 2025 programme.

All intervention areas here. 

Hartmannfabrik

The former machine factory does not produce parts, but is the visitor centre for Chemnitz 2025 and offers a space for official representative events, for example.

City economy - Stadtwirtschaft

What was once a city cleaning plant is now a centre for art, culture, social affairs and education. Among other things, it is hustling and bustling with creative work.

The Garage Campus

The vacant Chemnitzer Verkehrs-AG site will be converted into individual workshops in all directions: be it art workshops, training centres, inclusion centres, sports facilities or simply a meeting place. The #3000Garages - the exhibition will also find its place here.
