On Wednesday, 3 December at 4 pm, interested parties are invited to a panel discussion in honour of Siegmund Rotstein in the Green Salon of the town hall, Markt 1. The honorary citizen of Chemnitz would have been 100 years old on 30 November 2025. Participation in the event is free of charge, but due to limited capacity, please register by 1 December at www.chemnitz.de/rotstein.
The panel discussion will bring together friends, family and fellow travellers: Marion Rotstein, Siegmund Rotstein's daughter, Dr Peter Seifert, former Lord Mayor, Renate Aris, long-standing board member of the Jewish Community and Dr Jürgen Nitsche, historian, will reminisce, share anecdotes and stories and paint a vivid picture of a special person.
Siegmund Rotstein was chairman of the Jewish Community of Chemnitz for 40 years.
Born in Chemnitz, he experienced the persecution of the National Socialists first-hand in his own family. He returned to Chemnitz after the deportation and rebuilt community life here.
