Location

Chemnitz, Industrial Museum

entrance free, with registration

The Urban Redevelopment Programme East, which began in 2001, kept the monument protection authorities busy for over eight years in order to minimise the negative effects. Even though the programme was primarily intended for the demolition of "surplus" flats in prefabricated housing estates, it also affected listed residential buildings. However, the refurbishment and conversion of industrial monuments was hardly affected. Large derelict industrial monuments made progress in their development, such as the Schönherr loom building, the Bernhard spinning mill in Harthau or the Wirkbau site. These properties will be examined in more detail.

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.
