Public squares

Intervention areas

The public squares are the result of intensive participation by people in the city's neighbourhoods and localities. The stakeholders from the city's neighbourhoods have put a lot of thought into the project and, together with their citizens, have selected a public space to be redesigned as part of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.

Each of the eight areas of the citizens' platforms and each of the eight incorporated localities will receive a maximum of 325,000 euros.

For example, a pavilion in Küchwald, a rest area on the Chemnitz Valley cycle path, a themed circular hiking trail around the village of Kleinolbersdorf-Altenhain and a lift at Wittgensdorf primary school have been implemented, creating a barrier-free event space in the assembly hall.
