Curling in Chemnitz
Chemnitz is a large city in the Free State of Saxony with a population of around 250,000. The oldest documentary reference dates back to 1143. With the onset of the industrial revolution at the beginning of the 19th century, Chemnitz grew by leaps and bounds and developed into one of the richest cities in Germany thanks to clever minds and hard-working hands. Between 1953 and 1990, the city was called Karl-Marx-Stadt. In 2025, Chemnitz, like the Slovenian city of Nova Gorica, will be the European Capital of Culture
Chemnitz is a city full of culture and sport. In recent decades, figure skaters, track and field athletes and cyclists in particular have carried the city's name out into the world, while in the 2020s the Niners Chemnitz basketball team in particular attracted attention across Europe. Curling has also been played in Chemnitz for more than two decades.
