In 2025, Chemnitz bears the coveted title of being European Capital of Culture. This provides new impetus for art, culture and brave ideas for the future. This issue honors this outstanding cultural event. The European Commission has awarded the title of ‘European Capital of Culture’ every year since 1985.
Chemnitz is one of the fastest growing cities in Germany and is a technology centre with a focus on the automotive and automotive supply industry, information technology and mechanical engineering. The city's eventful history and its contrasts between tradition and modernity are also reflected in its urban development. Buildings in the Bauhaus and New Objectivity styles can be found as well as the largest contiguous Art Nouveau neighbourhood in Europe, the Kaßberg. In addition to residential and industrial architecture from the Wilhelminian era, the cityscape is also characterised by socialist and contemporary architecture. The economic success story is driven by research institutions such as the Technical University and various Fraunhofer Institutes as well as medium-sized, mostly family-run companies. Chemnitz also offers a wide range of attractions for art and culture lovers, such as the Chemnitz Art Collections and the Gunzenhauser Museum with an impressive collection of classical modern art, the Saxon Industrial Museum, the Saxon State Theatre and the Robert Schumann Philharmonic Orchestra. Places such as the castle pond with the neighbouring Küchwaldpark and the historic city park along the Chemnitz river provide peace and relaxation.
The obverse shows the urban diversity with typical motifs of the city and focuses on over 200 years of art, cultural and industrial history. Arranged in twelve circular segments on the outer edge of the coin, nine sights form the C emblem for which Chemnitz is known. In the
centre of the coin, part of the northern city limits is highlighted in relief and bears the 2025 campaign logo in the centre as well as the city name and the title
The reverse has the German eagle, the words “BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND”, the value and denomination, the letter “J” for the Hamburg Mint, the year 2025, and the twelve stars of Europe.
