Roland Warner, Chairman of the Management Board, eins energie in sachsen GmbH & Co. KG:
"As a regionally rooted company with a long-standing and diverse commitment to Chemnitz and the region, it is natural for us to contribute to bringing the title of Capital of Culture 2025 to life.
Our commitment as the main sponsor is manifested in many ways: in addition to supporting special events, eins itself will play a key role in shaping and making its own contributions to a successful Capital of Culture year. Our focus is also on promoting initiatives in committed cities and communities in the cultural region. The colourful chimney from eins also complements the art and sculpture trail with an internationally renowned work of art with an industrial history."
