Research findings detailed in Nature and European Environment Agency's publication
In the heart of Chemnitz, the historic Küchwald forest is set to host two highly anticipated concerts featuring Bryan Adams and Sido. Here's what you need to know about transportation and traffic restrictions for these exciting events.
The Küchwald, whose name dates back to the time of the Chemnitz Monastery on the Schloßberg, has been a significant part of the city's green system for over 130 years. The forest was transformed into a public and forest park between 1900 and 1915, under the leadership of garden architect Otto Werner. Today, it serves as a cultural hub, with the Küchwald stage primarily used for theater events for a few hundred people.
However, with the upcoming concerts, the stage will be transformed into a 42-meter-long and 14-meter-wide platform to accommodate the expected 20,000 concertgoers. The concerts, scheduled for August 6 (Bryan Adams) and August 10 (Sido), are expected to draw large crowds, creating an "exceptional situation" in the area.
To manage the high number of visitors and ensure safety, extensive road closures, parking bans, and reduced speed limits will be in effect in the Schloßchemnitz district from 2 PM to midnight each day. The following streets around Küchwald will be closed: Altendorfer Straße, Am Küchwald, Dorotheenstraße, Draisdorfer Straße, Glauchauer Straße, Glücksberg, Gottfried-Keller-Straße, Hölderlinstraße, In der Delle, Irrbornweg, Kesselgarten, Küchwaldring, Küchwaldstraße, Lotharstraße, Ludwigstraße, Saarstraße, Salzstraße, Schlossplatz, Tannenstraße, Waldrand, Zu den Pappeln.
On Wednesday and Sunday, the Glauchauer Straße and Winklerstraße in a western direction will also be inaccessible from the Leipziger Straße from 2 PM to midnight.
Due to the high attendance, shuttle buses will be provided to facilitate access and reduce traffic congestion. Park-and-ride or other public transit options are likely recommended, given the traffic restrictions. However, specific public transit lines or stops were not detailed explicitly in the available sources.
Attendees should plan for limited car access and expect to follow the local signage and instructions from authorities regarding parking and road usage during the event days. Tickets and shuttle bus info for the Sido concert are available via the Freie Presse shops and website, which may also provide relevant transport updates.
Parking is not available in the immediate vicinity of the concert venue, but the use of the Park&Ride facilities at Messe Chemnitz and Chemnitz-Center is recommended. A shuttle bus will run from these Park&Ride lots before and after the concerts.
No-parking zones are currently in effect until August 18th on the Küchwaldring (between Hechlerstraße and Küchwaldstraße) and Küchwaldstraße (between Ludwigstraße and Küchwaldring).
The concerts featuring Bryan Adams and Sido at Küchwald in Schloßchemnitz district will start at 7 PM with doors opening at 5 PM. Finn Moriz is the support act for Bryan Adams on Wednesday evening.
A city council resolution in 1952 planned to further develop the Küchwald as a cultural park. For more details, please refer to the FAQs provided for the Highfield Festival, which includes information on bands, travel, and security.
Lastly, bus line 21 will be extended until the end of service to the Chemnitz Center stop starting at 2 PM, and the first trip of the night bus line N18 starting at 11:45 PM from the central bus stop will go to the Chemnitz Center.
