"Capital of Culture 2025" Exhibition at the University

Like six other cities in Germany, Zittau is preparing an application for the title of "Capital of Culture 2025."

Today, Tuesday, at 3:00 p.m., Mayor Zenker, together with the Rector of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, Prof. Dr. phil. Friedrich Albrecht, will open the exhibition for the “kulturhauptstadt2024.at” project at the university’s Peter-Dierich-Haus in Zittau (Building Z IV). The exhibition will be on display from April 10 through May 31. The light-filled foyer of the large lecture hall building on Theodor-Körner-Allee is a good place to display the exhibition panels. The exhibition made its debut during the mayor’s New Year’s reception on January 10 at the theater. Visitors gained good insight into the potential of the application process. At the same time, many expressed a desire to view the exhibition at their leisure—a request that is now being accommodated in collaboration with the University. Background: One city from Germany and one from Slovenia will each be named European Capital of Culture in 2025. Like six other cities in Germany, Zittau is preparing an application for the title.
