The series of civil dialogues will enter a new round on 27 October 2018. This time, the citizens of the city are invited to speak about the planned intervention areas at the official start of Chemnitz’ application for the European Capital of Culture in the national application phase. “The Capital of Culture application as urban development” is the theme of the event. The Lord Mayor and other representatives of the administration want to discuss with interested Chemnitz residents about open spaces and buildings in the city that are being developed in the course of the Capital of Culture application: Where does a cultural change need to take place? What ideas does the administration have? What other ideas do the people of Chemnitz have? What future scenarios are conceivable? Examples include the Schlossteich site and the zoo. But new ideas are also welcome and can be discussed on site in an otherwise closed factory hall.

The event is under the patronage of the following institutions: Chamber of Crafts Chemnitz, Chamber of Industry and Commerce Chemnitz, Creative Chemnitz, Kreishandwerkerschaft Chemnitz, City of Chemnitz, Stadtsportbund Chemnitz, Theater Chemnitz.

The event will take place on Saturday, 27 October 2018, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (admission from 10.30 a.m.), at the Hartmann-Fabrik, Fabrikstraße 11.
