It's Moving

Photo: Johannes Richter

Chemnitz 2025 is on the move: to the World Heritage region of the Ore Mountains, to Central and Western Saxony - where people still value traditions, where biographies and living space have been strongly influenced by mining and industrialisation, where many people now travel to hike and enjoy winter sports. The programme tells the stories of people from the region: what moved them yesterday, what moves them today and what will move them tomorrow? The cultural programme provides new impetus in the
The Capital of Culture region.
