Gunnar Bertram, Chairman of the Board of Management at Volksbank Chemnitz eG:
"We are convinced that the title of European Capital of Culture is a unique opportunity for Chemnitz and the entire cultural and economic region. It is therefore a matter close to all our hearts to be a supporter, financial sponsor, active part and multiplier of the Capital of Culture movement. Together with all those involved, we want to position Chemnitz and the region as an attractive cultural metropolis and strengthen its identity and the associated self-confidence. At the same time, the process is an important location factor for our region, where people feel comfortable, want to work and live and where companies invest and see a future."
