Our workshop

Learn more about our space, members, machines & services!

We are the Stadtfabrikanten e.V. - active and lively on the Sonnenberg for many years, founded in 2016 - with several years of preparatory work until the association was founded and recognized as a non-profit organization.

According to its statutes, our organization promotes art, culture, education and youth work. We achieve this through our own events or joint activities with cooperation and collaboration partners.

These include, for example, design projects, small local technical innovations, experiments, trade fairs, exhibitions, workshops and courses, festivals and other facets of a wide range of the short terms “MINT” (mathematics, computer science, natural science, technology) or “STEAM” (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) categories.

Our members come from very different areas in terms of their educational, age and social structures. As an association, we see ourselves as a kind of infrastructure provider and a living, democratic network.

With our FabLab Chemnitz project, we offer an open and established platform and stage that enables creative changes of thought and promotes the implementation of the resulting ideas.

And this is also reflected in the way we work: many are or have been self-employed in their lives, freelance as sole proprietors, small businesses or artists, for example.

There is no fixed structure and it is always an exciting environment. This also means: You are the club!

Because what moves our community ultimately brings the different currents into regular exchange on an equal footing with regard to their perspectives, their knowledge and their wealth of practical experience - for example in open workshops, in chats or at joint happenings such as the MakerFaires, which we attend, among other things on the way.

Mario Voigt, Daniel Tausche or Sebastian Schlude will be happy to welcome you.

We have a very good relation with the city of Chemnitz
