The open-air theatre in Küchwald was built in 1956-63 on the ruins of the war-damaged "Küchwaldschänke" as part of the National Reconstruction Programme according to plans by Chemnitz architect Roland Hühnerfürst. With its ensemble of buildings including the striking tower, the large flight of steps and the two side buildings, it occupies a prominent position on the large festival meadow. The building ensemble is an important testimony to the neoclassical style of traditional post-war architecture. The spectator area is designed in the form of an ancient amphitheatre.

The first tram line ran from the main railway station to Nikolai Bridge (today: Falkeplatz) and on to Kappel, where the main depot was established. By 1910, the 8-track vehicle hall, which is still preserved today as a museum, had been built in the Kappel main depot. The entire complex of the Kappel tram depot and depot was almost completely listed in 2009, after the large vehicle hall and nine traction units and trailers had already been listed since 1980. Many of the buildings and facilities are closely linked to the history of the Chemnitz tramway. The Chemnitz Tram Friends Association, together with the owner CVAG, has been successfully endeavouring to preserve the building and its equipment for years. As part of the Capital of Culture 2025, the area is earmarked as an intervention area for the Garage Campus.

Today's Chemnitz Industrial Museum is an extensive industrial-historical and architecturally valuable factory complex consisting of the former Hermann Escher AG tool factory with foundry hall, fettling shop, workshop buildings and the machine house, built in 1897-1907, as well as the neighbouring foundry of Schubert & Salzer AG, built in 1010. The sophisticated façade architecture with its gabled arches has a strong urbanistic impact on the street.

The multi-storey car park with adjoining motel from 1928 is an outstanding testimony to the history of transport and an architecturally valuable building in the design language of modernism. The six-storey steel skeleton structure with a seven-storey lift tower in front was designed to be functional and once offered parking spaces for 300 cars. A large part of the original lift technology, lift doors and windows have been preserved.

As the shunting yard capacities at Chemnitz main station and in Kappel were no longer sufficient due to increasing freight traffic at the end of the 19th century, the Deutsche Reichsbahn planned a new large shunting yard in Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf, which went into operation on 2 July 1902. Utilising the natural gradient of the terrain, the trains were uncoupled on the hump and then slowly rolled down the 6 run-off tracks. From 1930 onwards, the specially developed "rope discharge system" was used. The two associations Eisenbahnfreunde Richard Hartmann Chemnitz e.V. and Sächsisches Eisenbahnmuseum e.V. have been committed to reviving the history for years and have renovated buildings, track systems, equipment, etc. in accordance with the preservation order.

The property is a residential and mill building from Chemnitz-Rottluff, built in 1893-94 to replace a previous building that burnt down, with historical mill technology. The location of the Rottluffer Obermühle mill has been documented since 1548. In addition to its value in terms of local and technical history, the building is also significant as the childhood home of one of the leading artists of German Expressionism. Karl Schmidt-Rottluff spent his childhood and youth in the mill building. After a long period of vacancy, the building has been renovated by the Förderverein Karl Schmidt Rottluff e.V. since 2010 and is to be used as a cultural meeting place.

Grüna was a popular climatic health resort around 1900. In 1892/93, the Stahringersche Naturheilanstalt was built on the site of the former Schützenhaus and current Forsthaus by the Grüna construction company Schreiter. The building was appropriately designed and equipped, for example there was a lounge, reading room, games room, music room and two bowling alleys for the spa guests. The establishment also included a spa park with a gondola pond, a playground and a sunbathing area. Since 2020, the facility has been renovated in line with its listed status and converted into a senior citizens' residential complex.

The Küchwald Clinical Centre is a medical facility with a group of regularly arranged, interrelated wards and ward blocks as well as irregularly arranged service buildings in front of it. The complex with plastered buildings in the traditional style of reform architecture and surrounded by park-like green areas was built between 1912-15 under the direction of the city planning officer Richard Möbius. Due to the steadily growing population in the city of Chemnitz during the years of industrialisation, the need to create healthcare facilities had increased and the location in the countryside, next to the Crimmitschau Forest, was ideally suited for this.

The object is the former textile factory of the "Sächsische Tüllfabrik Aktiengesellschaft", which was founded in 1899 with the aim of demonstrating the efficiency of the first German tulle machine constructed by the "Maschinenfabrik Kappel" in 1886. This enabled the British monopoly on tulle production to be broken. The architect of the striking factory building made of yellow clinker bricks in a dominant urban corner location was Paul Fiedler.

Built around the middle of the 19th century, this simple residential building in a semi-open development is one of the rare historical examples of low suburban development in Chemnitz. In addition to the residential building, the property also includes outbuildings such as a shed and workshop.

The building, which is now used as a school, was originally built to a design by the building and finance councillor Canzler, half for the Royal District Tax Council and half for the Royal District Tax Collection (1902-1904). Together with other buildings used by the public, such as the regional and district court, the district administration and the state grammar school, it forms a zone of representative buildings on the steeply sloping Kaßberg hillside, which had an impact far into the low-lying old town.

The former "Königlich-Sächsische-Landeserziehungsanstalt für Blinde und Schwachsinnige in Chemnitz" was opened in 1905 with the aim of enabling young pupils to lead a life in society. In addition to school education, training was also provided in various professions. During the National Socialist era, these pupils became victims of centralised euthanasia and were killed in killing centres. The "Unantastbar" network has set itself the goal of publicising the site (Flemmingstraße 8c, 09116 Chemnitz) and its protagonists as an example of human empowerment and inviolability.

It is particularly important to the network to show that this position cannot be taken for granted. It wants to ensure that the values achieved by our society are recognised in their importance.

The Protestant Methodist congregation in Chemnitz was founded as early as 1879.

In 1894, the rapidly growing congregation was able to inaugurate its own church building. Based on plans by the Chemnitz architect Bieber, the unconventional neo-Gothic church building was built in the style of North German brick Gothic, accentuated by rich multi-coloured façade decoration, three pointed gables at the front and crowned by a ridge turret (25 m high) with a very pointed spire.

The Friedenskirche has the structural peculiarity that the church hall with almost 700 seats is located on the upper floor.

Originally built as a simple medieval hall church, the village church of Wittgensdorf was renovated in 1657-60. In 1728, the church was extended, a pulpit altar was added and the 37 metre high east tower with Welscher dome was erected. A further extension was added in 1843.

The former Benedictine monastery, later an official Saxon castle and today the Schloßberg Museum with the original cloister building and remains of the cloister and the original monastery and castle church of St Mary form an inseparable unit.

The medieval remains of the cloister are best preserved in the eastern wing, while the remodelling of the Renaissance is clearly visible in the southern cloister building.

The original monastery cellars and parts of the enclosing wall with a high archway on Salzstraße have been preserved, as have the high substructures facing south-east towards the town.

The late Gothic hall church with Romanesque architectural features from the early days of the monastery church is one of the town's most valuable cultural monuments. In the years 2006-2010, the castle church received a new symphonic-romantic organ from the company Orgelbau Vleugels. From 2016, the north façade up to the choir and the west façade underwent extensive stone restoration work.

The Lutherkirche was built in 1905-1908 according to the design of Otto Kuhlmann (Charlottenburg) under his supervision in the style of reform architecture. Otto Kuhlmann's design won first prize out of 130 designs submitted. The new architectural movement known as Reformbaukunst was on the one hand opposed to the neo-styles of historicism and on the other hand was intended to distinguish itself from the independent forms of Jugendstil.

With its park-like cemetery grounds, the memorial to the fallen of the First World War (1922) and valuable graves of important Chemnitz personalities as well as the stately cemetery chapel, St Nicholas' Cemetery forms a listed property complex. Today, the parish of St Nikolai-Thomas has been using the former chapel as a consecrated church since 1999, as the former large Nikolai church from 1888 was badly damaged in the Second World War and had to be demolished afterwards. The Nikolai Chapel was built in the North German brick Gothic style in 1891-92 according to plans by the Dresden architect Schramm.

The collegiate church of Ebersdorf, with its chapel of St Mary, the two defence towers and the remains of the curtain wall, forms an outstanding late Gothic ensemble, built on the Romanesque foundations of a previous building. The church became even more important as a Marian pilgrimage church from the middle of the 15th century. The collegiate church is also of impressive urban significance in its central position in the village of Ebersdorf. Many important individual Gothic works of art from the church's valuable interior have been preserved. These include the late Gothic altar of the Virgin Mary with Passion paintings by Hans Hesse and the pulpit figures by Master H.W. The stone restoration of the church façades from 2020 is already visibly progressing as a major construction task.

This year, student Leander Rüberg completed a one-week internship at the City of Chemnitz's heritage protection authority. He focussed intensively on the office building of the former stocking factory "Wex & Söhne" at Dresdner Straße 34. After years of vacancy, the building has been renovated over the last two years in line with its listed status. Leander Rüberg's presentation vividly illustrates the history of the building and the details of a heritage restoration.

The PowerPoint presentation uses visualisations that are only shown in simplified form in the pdf file.

The school management of the Agricola Grammar School has provided a presentation to mark the school's 90th anniversary in 2019 for the Open Monument Day. It vividly illustrates the history of the school building from its construction in 1927-29 according to the plans of architect Emil Ebert to its current use.

The building will be opened to the public next year for Monument Day.
