What happens in Zittau, stays in Zittau!

Fast-paced action, full beakers and lots of humor at the Zittau campus at the Chemistry Show Lecture 2023.

Pure action at the Zittau Campus. On December 11, the chemistry demonstration lecture had everyone buzzing—not just on stage, but also among the audience in the packed large lecture hall of Building Z IV in Zittau. The guests followed the story with great enthusiasm: “The Zittau Campus Cop – Hangover at the University Executive Board.”

What was it about? The Rector has to go on a business trip and tasks the Zittau Campus Cop (student Anna Grohmann) and the Dean of the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Prof. Jens Weber, with maintaining peace and order at the HSZG and in the University Executive Board. But there was one thing the Rector hadn’t counted on—a bachelor party on the Zittau campus…

Tracy and Doug (both played by Christine Borowski) are getting married, and everything is set. However, Alan (Tobias Rieger), the bride’s brother, dentist Stu (Tobias Lein), and teacher Phil (Matthias Jeschke) have planned one last night of bachelor fun for their buddy. And the trip takes the four of them to tranquil Zittau—or rather, to the HSZG campus. The young men quickly realize that the University Executive Board is a particularly good place to party. Let the party night begin…

But don’t forget: What happens in Zittau stays in Zittau!

In addition to an action-packed story filled with wordplay and witty one-liners, a variety of impressive chemistry demonstrations once again created a lively atmosphere and left the audience in awe. The spectacle was once again organized under the direction of Matthias Jeschke, who also wrote the script. With great dedication and enthusiasm, the organizing team—a mix of students, staff, and alumni—prepares the event every year. This year, Rector Prof. Alexander Kratzsch and Prof. Jens Weber, Dean of the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences, also made guest appearances.

Many thanks to the sponsors!
