Am Samstag, den 19. November 2022, um 16 Uhr laden wir Sie herzlich zu einer Führung mit dem Kurator der Ausstellung Peer Ehmke durch die Ausstellung Metamorphose im Schloßbergmuseum ein.

Das alte Chemnitz wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört. Doch war dieses Vorkriegschemnitz wirklich »alt«? Fotografien der Jahre 1870 bis 1914 aus den Sammlungen des Schloßbergmuseums dokumentieren die gewaltigen Veränderungen der Stadtstruktur mit diesem damals noch jungen Medium. Im 19. Jahrhundert löste die Industrialisierung einen Veränderungsprozess bis dahin unbekannter Dimension aus. Im Aufschwung der Gründerjahre wurde Chemnitz Großstadt. Die mit Plattenkameras angefertigten und oft sehr detailreichen Bilder sind die ersten und gleichzeitig letzten fotografischen Aufnahmen des städtischen Erscheinungsbilds vor dem großen Umbau durch die Industrialisierung. Darüber hinaus lassen sich heute mit Hilfe der Digitalisierung, die erhaltenen Aufnahmen zu einem Gesamtbild zusammenfassen und machen so die Vorgänge in ihrer ganzen Tragweite sichtbar.

Bitte melden Sie sich unter 0371/488 4520 oder info.kunstsammlungen@stadt-chemnitz.de für die Führung an.

Rabenstein Castle

Rabenstein Castle is located in the Rabenstein district of Chemnitz and forms part of the Schloßbergmuseum. It was built in the second half of the 12th century during the settlement of the foothills of the Erzgebirge mountains. The frequently used nickname »Saxony’s smallest castle« is somewhat misleading in that the buildings still standing today make up only the heart of a formerly much larger complex.
