Event information

Date & Time

until

entrance free, with registration

Between 1991 and 2020, more than 120 listed industrial buildings in the city of Chemnitz were successfully renovated and repurposed, including some on macro sites such as the Schönherr loom building. In recent years, since Chemnitz's successful bid for the European Capital of Culture 2025, some industrial monuments that had been "long on ice", such as the Kappel tram depot, the Schmidt-Rottluff site or the Hartmann factory building, have now been successfully renovated and are being used for Capital of Culture activities.

This event is part of a series of lectures (16.9., 7.10. and 4.11.) with Thomas Morgenstern, Dipl.-Ing. Architect and from 1989 to 2019 Head of the Monument Protection Authority of the City of Chemnitz.

Tales of Transformation

In its major exhibition ‘Tales of Transformation’, the Industriemuseum Chemnitz compares the development of former industrial hotspots: Chemnitz, Gabrovo, Łódź, Manchester, Mulhouse and Tampere. The exhibition sheds light on the impulses for the future coming from these cities and what they can learn from each other: rapid growth and splendid wealth paired with precarious living conditions - later a radical collapse and the necessary reinvention. The exhibition is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
