Public guided tour on 30 October at 11 a.m.
To mark "World Cities Day", interested parties can take a guided tour of the house at Philippstraße 21, which is located on the so-called "Sonnenberger Promenade", on 30 October at 11 am. The owner, together with the "Agentur StadtWohnen Chemnitz" and the City of Chemnitz, are organising the event.
Beforehand, the City Planning and Property Office will provide information about the house and the "Sonnenberger Promenade" at 10.30 am.
Background:
A few years ago, the city council decided on a design study for the "Sonnenberger Promenade", which will extend along the Gründerzeit streets from south to north from Augustusburger Straße via Körnerplatz and Lessingplatz to Zeisigwald. This already includes well-designed sections in the centre of Sonnenberg. Now, thanks to European funding and urban development funding, the redesign can take place in the north.
Reinhardstraße between Lessingplatz and Palmstraße will be completely renovated and remodelled by 2027. The ideas for the "Zeisigpfad", energy fields and the "Sonnenberger Baum" were developed as connecting elements in the study with broad public participation and are to be found all along the promenade. Citizens' workshops and an artists' walk have already taken place to design the three elements.
There is good news for the residential building from the Wilhelminian era at Philippstraße 21: the long vacant monument will be structurally secured by the owner until the end of 2026 with the help of urban development funding. This will be followed by the fundamental refurbishment of the corner building that characterises the cityscape.
Following GGG's decision to sell the building around ten years ago, the city's "Agentur StadtWohnen Chemnitz" project informed a large number of interested parties about the building, carried out inspections with a number of them and advised them on available funding opportunities.
This is one of the agency's core tasks as a coordination centre for the revitalisation of unrenovated vacant old buildings in Chemnitz.
In 2016, Rewobau GmbH & Co. KG finally acquired the building at Philippstraße 21 and began construction planning.
