Tales of Transformation
As the "Saxon Manchester", Chemnitz gave the starting signal for industrialisation in Saxony, experienced rapid growth and finally deindustrialisation - a profound challenge, but also an opportunity for reinvention.
In its major exhibition "Tales of Transformation", the Chemnitz Industrial Museum compares the development of former industrial hotspots: Chemnitz, Gabrovo, Łódź, Manchester, Mulhouse and Tampere. From April 2025, the exhibition will shed light on the impetus for the future coming from these cities and what they can learn from each other: rapid growth and magnificent wealth paired with precarious living conditions - later a radical collapse and the necessary reinvention.
