Under the slogan “Panta rhei – Alles im Fluss?” canoeing and water sports clubs met with citizens of Chemnitz all afternoon on 29 September 2018 to jointly consider how to better integrate the river as an adventure area into the city. There was also a panel discussion in the weltecho. The participants worked together on visions for a “strong city on the river”.

This resulted in the initiative “Raum am Fluss”, which brings together citizens, planners and decision-makers to jointly design the areas around the rivers in Chemnitz. Further discussion rounds were created, through which the area around the Chemnitz river can be walked and experienced.
