  • IKONEN DER MODERNE Sachsen Mit Seiner 1000-Jähirgen
    SACHSEN – IKONEN DER MODERNE Sachsen mit seiner 1000-jähirgen Kulturgeschichte hat wie kaum ein anderes Bundesland das gesamte Architekturspektrum zu bieten – von Gotik bis modern-minimalistisch. Neben der Kunst und der Musik prägt dieser architektonische Facettenreichtum Sachsen als Kulturreiseziel Nummer 1 in Deutschland. In Sachsen wurden viele für das Bauhaus prägende Denkansätze vorweggenommen, und hier wirkten bekannte Architekten des neuen Bauens. So wurde in Dresden bereits ab 1909 mit den Deutschen Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst, als Mitgründer des Werkbundes, an einer Produktionsstätte neuen Typus gebaut – und gleichzeitig an der ersten Gartenstadt Deutschlands, Hellerau. Die Bauhaus-Epoche hat in Sachsen interessante und touristisch relevante Zeugnisse hervorgebracht. Das Josef Albers’ Glasfenster im Leipziger Grassimuseum, das Wandgemälde von Oskar Schlemmer im Zwenkauer Haus Rabe, die Versöhnungskirche in Leipzig, das Kaufhaus Schocken in Chemnitz von Erich Mendelsohn – heute Staatliches Museum für Archäologie - stehen dafür. Das Haus Schminke von Hans Scharoun in Löbau ist eines der weltweit vier herausragenden Beispiele der Stilrichtungen "Neues Bauen" und "International Style". Es fehlt in keinem Architektur-Lexikon und wird in einem Zug genannt mit dem Haus Tugendhat von Mies van der Rohe in Brünn/Brno (1931), der Villa Savoye von Le Corbusier in Poissy bei Paris (1928-29) und dem Haus Kaufmann " Fallingwater " in Mill Run, Pennsylvania (1935-39) von Frank Lloyd Wright genannt. Es steht im Übrigen nicht nur für Besichtigungen offen, sondern man darin auch übernachten. Zusammen mit dem Nieskyer Wachsmann-Haus ist es eine wichtige Station im Verbund TOPOMOMO (Topography of the modern Movement) – einem internationalen Verbund von herausragenden (Wohn)Gebäuden der Moderne. Zum „Jubiläum 100 Jahre Bauhaus“ wird das Bundesland mit vielfältigen Veranstaltungen und Ausstellungen vor allem das baukulturelle Erbe würdigen und an bestehende Präsentationen und kulturelle Schwerpunktthemen, etwa das Thema Industriekultur, anknüpfen.

  • Chemnitz - Is It a City of Industry Or a City of Art? Or Both?
    Chemnitz - is it a city of industry or a city of art? Or both? Report by Ingeborg Morgner We created interesting presentations about our city in the last weeks. It has been demonstrated, such as the textile machinery, the textile manufacturing and other industries like the automotive have shaped the face of our city. An interesting comparison with Manchester was also done. Norbert showed us in his presentation that our city is getting more and more an artistic face. The Robert- Schumann – Symphony – Orchestra has been developed into an important flagship for Chemnitz during last years. A lot of famous operas were staged on our opera house. First of all, I would say that the State Art Collection marks the face of our city more and more. This developed into an important cultural centre of our city in the last years under the direction of Mrs. Mössinger. The Art Collections hold more than 170,000 works of art distributed over four associated museums, the King Albert Museum on the Theatre Square, the Gunzenhauser Museum, the Schlossbergmuseum and the Henry van der Velde Museum. What can you see there? At first, I will speak about the King Albert Museum, where the most famous paintings are exhibited. The Chemnitz Art Gallery with it‟s about 70. 000 objects, dating from the 16th to the 21st century is located on the King Albert Museum. This Museum was built in 1909 at the Theatre Square and was designed by Richard Möbius. Since the restoration in 1993 it is one of the most modern museums in Saxony.

  • World-Class Art and Culture Dresden Is Famous for Its Architecture, Art and Culture
    Dresden – World-class Art and Culture Dresden is famous for its architecture, art and culture. Buildings as the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), the Catholic Hofkirche church, the Residenzschloss palace, the Zwinger and the Semper Opera are famous all over the world. The Dresden State Art Collections rank among the most significant collections in the world. The Old Masters Gallery with the Sistine Madonna or the treasures in the Historic Green Vault are prominent examples. A performance in the Semper Opera or in the Church of Our Lady, a concert of the Staatskapelle (State Orchestra) and the famous Dresdner Kreuzchor (“Kreuzchor” boys choir) are must-sees. History and modern spirit form an entity in Dresden. Thus, the bridge Augustusbrücke connects the baroque historic centre with the most urban and vibrant district, which begins directly behind the highly symbolic equestrian statue “Goldener Reiter”. It shows the way to countless pubs and international restaurants, art galleries and trendy fashion shops in the inner and outer new town. The harmonic union of nature and architecture represents the Dresden Elbtal valley. One after the other, castles, representative buildings, historic mansions, romantic vineyards and rambling meadows are lined up like a bead chain. They characterize the Dresden Ebtal valley as a unique cultural landscape that can be explored by bicycle, in running shoes or on inline skates. Leipzig – Saxony’s Paradise of Modern Trade Fair, Art and Shopping With its historic merchant’s houses, passages and courtyards, Leipzig parades its great tradition of trade and fairs. It is known as the town of books and music.
