Description [EN]
Together with the Museum at Theatre Square, the Henry van de Velde Museum, and the Gunzenhauser Museum, the Schloßbergmuseum is part of the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz. Since its reopening in 1994/95, it has once again become an integral part of the cultural life in Chemnitz. The historical ensemble on the Schloßberg is particularly dear to the people of Chemnitz, as their 800-year-old city has very few monuments from the pre-industrialization era. The reconstructed rooms from the Middle Ages and Renaissance are considered the largest "exhibits" the museum possesses. The main function of the museum’s public spaces for city history is to present exhibitions on historical topics. In the large Renaissance hall, which with its 600 square meters is one of the largest museum halls in Saxony and beyond, there is a permanent exhibition on the history of Chemnitz. Under the title "Picture Gallery of Chemnitz History," a selection of significant exhibits from the city historical collections is displayed here. The objects, originating from all phases of the city´s history, are arranged in the form of "pictures." Three city models illustrate the architectural metamorphoses of the city of Chemnitz from its founding in the Middle Ages to the present day. Over the coming years, the city historical exhibition will be gradually completed and expanded. In June 2009, another permanent exhibition was opened on the ground floor. The exhibition "Gothic Sculpture in Saxony" was created as a cooperation between the State Art Collections Dresden and the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz – Schloßbergmuseum. In the historical ambiance of the former monastic rooms, works from churches across Saxony are displayed, including the famous Chemnitz Holy Sepulchre.
