JAK FUNGOVAL NĚMECKÝ TEXTILNÍ MANCHESTER? DISKUSNÍ VEČER

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the German city of Chemnitz was an important center of the textile industry. It is famous for the production of upholstery substances, gloves and stockings for exports to the whole world. Another export item was the machines that the owners of textile factories in Bohemia and Moravia bought. During the discussion, journalist Judita Matyášová will present a new exhibition in Industriemuseum Chemnitz, where they will be on display "European Manchesters". What was the history of textile factories in Chemnitz, Polish Lodz, Finnish Tampere or directly in Manchester? Judita Matyášová will discuss with Anika Reineke, curator of the textile department and applied art in KunSammlungen Chemnitz. This expert will talk about the textile history of Chemnitz and explain how the production is linked to the textile industry in our territory.
