Dear friends,
Unfortunately, we have to tell you that our Sunday café is on shaky ground.
As much as we would like to provide you with latte macchiato at the weekend, it just doesn't pay off
. Winter is forcing us to turn up the heating and unfortunately we can no longer afford
without the corresponding income - which is where you come in!
We want to give the Sunday café a framework and fire up the
coffee machine for the appropriate program in future.
Are you part of a political group or an association, do you enjoy attending and organizing lectures and
readings on exciting topics? You are cordially invited to help shape the Sunday Café
and create a new format for it! Introduce your group or organize a
lecture, music is also possible, as is a poetry slam!
Simply send us your ideas or plans by email to einmietung@subbotnik-
chemnitz.de or as a message on Instagram/Facebook. We will then help you with the realization
and implementation.
You are also welcome to write to us as a group and fill the Sunday Café with programs at regular
intervals.
The Sunday cafe will be closing on January 1 and will only open occasionally and with advance notice.
The Wednesday café will continue as before.

It's been cold lately, the Subbotnik is filling up and sitting outside is just not
in it anymore - that's why we would like to ask you not to bring your dogs
to the in-house events during the cold winter months, i.e. VoKü, café and concerts.
We are concerned about the four-legged friends as well as the two-legged friends. A cramped space with
a visibly tense or loudly barking dog has an unsettling effect on many people
and restricts everyone's freedom of movement in the Subbotnik, even if said dog
is certainly harmless and super sweet.
We ask for your understanding!
As soon as spring is just around the corner, you are welcome to take your dogs back to our
site!

Dear friends of the Subbotnik,
the Chemnitz Mitte citizens' platform called for ideas for upgrading squares or locations in
their catchment area that are particularly suitable for concerts, performances and other events
. An area that will be used in particular for 2025, but should also remain an important cultural venue beyond that
. We at Subbotnik e.V. took this opportunity to propose the
area behind our club premises - and thanks to your support, the
majority of Chemnitz residents voted in favor of it.
Our approach
The existing outdoor area of the Subbotnik is to be joined by the adjacent former sports field,
to create a multifunctional event space. Ideas for an artistically designed
stage were already buzzing around in our heads as wishes and dreams. However, in keeping with our
socio-cultural approach, we don't want to design the space solely as a subbotnik, but
above all to give potential guests and users the opportunity to let off steam creatively
. To this end, we have been organizing meetings via our reach for several weeks now,
in which young people in particular have been able to participate and contribute their wishes and ideas in a
group process.
An area for everyone - with a simultaneous shelter concept
Many ideas have been merged from the participation process that we initiated: the
multifunctional stage, a dance pavilion, areas for urban gardening, decentralized seating and
barbecue areas, decentralized sports and play areas. All of this will be framed by trees and shrubs.
But that's not all: the area should always remain open to change, be able to pick up on new cultural
trends and thus invite a diverse public to linger and get active.
The aim is to create a space in which amateurs, actors from the cultural, educational and social sectors
as well as professional artists can realize their ideas - festivals, workshops, theater and garden projects,
and much more. - can be realized. The aim is to promote sustainable culture and art in Chemnitz and
Bernsdorf.
The shelter aspect has been explicitly mentioned in the process so far: Voices have been raised that would like to avoid a
further focal point in the city and create a discrimination-sensitive space despite
the public in order to be able to offer marginalized people in particular areas for
development.
We as Subbotnik e.V. would like to take responsibility for this space in order to continue to accompany this
participatory process and to work together with all interested parties to implement
. Above all, it is important to us to enforce the requirement for a
discrimination-sensitive space - provided that we as an association are legally entrusted with the management of the
space. This would also be a great advantage for the low-threshold and coordination of
space usage.
What else is needed?
On Saturday, 18.06.22, from 12:00-15:00 , the official event of the city of Chemnitz for
the citizen* participation in the outdoor area of Subbotnik e.V. will take place. We would be delighted if
as many friends of Subbotnik e.V. as possible would join us and support us in
this process in a spirit of discussion.
Come in large numbers, we look forward to seeing you!
Your Subbotniks.
