Festival of encounters
The PARKSOMMER in Chemnitz, which takes place every year, is one of the cultural highlights of the summer. In the idyllic Stadthallenpark, guests can experience a wide range of cultural events, from concerts and poetry slams to children's activities and yoga, all in the shadow of the striking Red Tower. This open-air festival enriches the city centre and offers unparalleled summer evenings for all ages. It underlines the colourful diversity and importance of outdoor culture and makes the Chemnitz summer even more expectant.
Winter moments of enjoyment
As the future European Capital of Culture 2025, Chemnitz offers impressive culinary diversity, ranging from traditional to international.
One example is the "Ausspanne", the most historic building on the Schlossberg, which captivates with its charm and warm atmosphere. Chemnitz,
a melting pot of history and culture, presents itself as a city where past and present merge in culinary terms and everyone can discover new taste experiences.
The art of moods
Chemnitz unfolds as a vibrant interplay of history, green oases and contemporary art. The idyllic Schlossteich (castle pond) and the impressive Schlosskirche (castle church) on the Schlossberg, steeped in history, bear witness to the city's deep cultural roots. The striking 302-metre-high chimney, masterfully refined in seven radiant colours by renowned artist Daniel Buren, symbolises the progressive and artistic soul of Chemnitz. In this city, old and new, stillness and movement merge into an impressive panorama that captivates both locals and visitors with a wealth of experiences and cultural gems.
Symbiosis of the ages
Chemnitz impressively shows the interplay of epochs. The city centre, which was badly affected by the Second World War, today shines with a combination of preserved architectural treasures and contemporary architecture. The urban hustle and bustle, characterised by lively trade, varied gastronomy and a colourful calendar of events, fascinates both locals and visitors. The city is a pulsating mosaic in which history and modernity harmoniously unite.
Philosophy & Dynamics
Chemnitz, known as the pulsating heart of cycling, anchors its history deeply in road and track cycling. In 2017, the city proudly celebrated five triumphs at the German Road Cycling Championships. The prestigious International Peace Tour chose Chemnitz as a central stage point, a beacon of unity during the Cold War. Against the backdrop of this cycling history stands the impressive Karl Marx Monument, a symbol of urban culture. In 2020 Chemnitz revived the legendary "Peace Ride". The European Peace Ride, which takes place here annually, is not only a sporting highlight, but also a celebration of community, inclusion and cross-border cohesion.
Hats off, Chemnitz!
With elegance, a beaming smile and the distinctive bowler hat, Chemnitz becomes a stage full of international street art at the annual Hat Festival. The city centre blossoms into a kaleidoscope of performances where global artists showcase their talents through music, dance, acrobatics, body painting, fire displays and comedy. Every angle reveals a new highlight, whether cultural, culinary or creative, and captivates the audience. The Hat Festival celebrates joy and artistic diversity and will have a special moment in its year as European Capital of Culture 2025.

Konkordiapark embodies the colourful and lively youth culture of Chemnitz.
History & Transformation
The Wirkbau in Chemnitz stands as a living symbol of the city's industrial past and recalls its worldwide industrial heyday up to the 1930s. During this era, Chemnitz, shaped by the Gründerzeit, established itself as the pulsating heart of textile machinery and vehicle manufacturing. Today, numerous architectural masterpieces from this period are multifunctional: they are home to cultural centres, office space, emerging companies, creative studios and production facilities. These buildings symbolise the dynamic transformation and cultural diversity of Chemnitz, which values its history and looks to the future.
Tradition meets festivity
Every year, the Chemnitz Christmas Market transforms the area around the town hall into a festive paradise that attracts visitors in droves. Here guests can immerse themselves in the world of Ore Mountain craftsmanship, enjoy culinary delicacies and find special gifts. The impressive mountain parade sets festive accents, and Father Christmas delights the little ones with fairytale surprises every day.
