At the installation “Talk to me, basic rights” near the town hall, parts of an acrylic glass cover were broken off. Reading performances take place here several times a week. In the tunnel under the Chemnitz main station, strangers have put graffiti. The underpass, popularly known as the “Bacillus Tube”, had only recently been painted purple.
