On the Tracks of Mobility

Who does not know the famous brands like Horch, Wanderer, Audi, Diamant, Salzer, Elite-Werke, Presto-Werke and many more. They were all pioneers in vehicle construction and contributed to Chemnitz becoming Saxony’s Manchester. Our bike tour this year will take us to the water and related to it, to the central places that provided water power for local crafts and industries, especially in the 19th century, and brought innovation and growth to the city of Chemnitz. Starting from Theaterplatz, we will guide you by bicycle to the individual stations every half hour and bring Chemnitz history to life.

Ballet Chemnitz: In the twenties and thirties, various dance artists: inside made a name for themselves nationwide through important first performances. Guest performances by Mary Wigman and Gret Palucca also attracted the attention of the scene to Chemnitz. After the ensemble was withdrawn to armaments production during World War II, Wigman student Thea Maaß and Jean Weidt subsequently rebuilt the Chemnitz Ballet and led it to national renown.
