Makerhubs

Nine maker hubs in Chemnitz and the Capital of Culture region became places where people learnt from each other and created something new together. They were also places where designers, craftspeople, entrepreneurs, the next generation of skilled workers and makers from all over the world came together. Visitors and creative tourists were able to experience regional culture and traditions at workshops.
