Chemnitz (dpa/sn) – The city of Chemnitz has received six million euros from the federal government for the renovation of the listed Chemnitz theater. The funding was decided on Wednesday in the budget committee of the Bundestag, as announced by the city of Chemnitz. This means that a fire protection renovation can be carried out and the building can be converted in terms of energy, technology and accessibility. “With this money we can advance the renovation of the theater in financially difficult times – this is not a matter of course,” said Lord Mayor Sven Schulze. The money comes from the federal program for the renovation of municipal facilities in the sports, youth and cultural sectors.
