New places for the future

Chemnitz 2025 is bringing about change – and, in terms of urban development, it is having an impact through what are known as ‘intervention areas’. These are infrastructure projects linked to the Chemnitz 2025 programme – not merely as future venues, but as spaces that will continue to serve a meaningful purpose for the city’s community in the future. As spaces for creativity, for discovering shared skills or simply for networking – the construction projects are tailored to the needs of future users and are therefore developed in close collaboration with them, for example through participatory formats right from the start.

Nine maker hubs in Chemnitz and the Capital of Culture region became places where people could learn from one another and create something new together. They were also places where designers, craftspeople, entrepreneurs, the next generation of skilled workers and creators from all over the world came together. Visitors and creative tourists were able to experience regional culture and traditions through workshops.

The PURPLE PATH art and sculpture trail is one of the major permanent projects of Chemnitz 2025. It is a unique exhibition of contemporary art that shows the work of over 60 international and regional artists in public spaces in Chemnitz and the Capital of Culture Region.
