Germany’s Chemnitz, European Capital of Culture 2025, Has Some Grand Plans

When Karl-Marx-Stadt changed its name after the collapse of East Germany, no one thought to tell the man himself. A monumental bust of Marx, his mane of hair and voluminous beard forming a halo around his chiseled features, stands defiantly in the center of today’s Chemnitz. To his front, a broad avenue suitable for military parades; immediately behind him, a brutalist administration block adds to the Soviet-era character.

Ignored or mocked in Germany as a byword for everything that’s gone wrong in the former GDR, the city is a bold choice as European Capital of Culture 2025. If it succeeds in the uphill challenge of selling itself to the world, though, it might just offer a recipe for how to address today’s deepening societal divisions.
