Chemnitz used to be an East German industrial metropolis and for the young people the path to adulthood was usually well defined - they obtained their training and sometimes remained in the same company for decades. These certainties no longer exist. Nowadays, the young generation in their early twenties has big dreams and all the possibilities, at least in theory - but they also have parents who experienced the exact opposite back in their twenties. So it’s very easy for both generations to feel misunderstood. Chemnitz is no longer the industrial metropolis it once was, but this is also nothing new… Chemnitz is something in-between and if it realized this fact, the young generation could be its future.
