Brückenstraße in Chemnitz: closed on Saturday for a big event!
There is important news for residents and visitors in Chemnitz: Next Saturday, June 21, 2025, Brückenstrasse between Strasse der Kulturen and Theaterstrasse/Mühlenstrasse will be temporarily closed from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. The reason for this is an event that takes place in this popular area of the city. The city administration announces that during the closure it will not be possible to park in the parking pockets along Brückenstrasse between Theaterstrasse and Strasse der Kulturen as well as in the roundabout parking lot at Brückenstrasse 12. If you still want to travel, you can choose a bypass via the center ring or the route Straße der Kulturen - Georgstraße - Mühlenstraße. In addition, the hotel parking lot of the Congress Hotel Chemnitz remains accessible, which is particularly important for overnight guests. Chemnitz.de reports.
This closure is part of a larger transport plan being implemented as part of the upcoming opening of the 2025 Capital of Culture year. The big festival will be celebrated on January 18th, with an opening party that is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors. During the opening day, numerous streets, including Brückenstraße as well as Straße der Nations and Carolastraße, will also be closed between 9 a.m. and midnight. On this day there will be a ceremony in the opera house with Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in attendance, followed by a big show at the Karl Marx Monument. Around 20,000 people are expecting free entry. Sächsische.de knows more.
Traffic restrictions and safety precautions
The traffic restrictions will begin as early as January 15th and extend until January 23rd, 2025. This includes a complete closure of Bridge Road, resulting in significant changes to traffic flow. The city recommends that citizens repark their vehicles early and use public transport. To get there, we recommend using P&R spaces and connecting to the bus and tram. In addition, the central parking garages, such as the Galeria Kaufhof and the Rathaus Passagen, are available to visitors. Diesachsen.de reports.
The city of Chemnitz has taken all security precautions in close coordination with the police and the responsible authorities to ensure safety during the celebrations. At the same time, several demonstrations have been registered, but they will take place in a separate area and should not interfere with the event zones. This shows that despite the big events, there is still room for social discourse.
