Saxony Unveils 2029 State Exhibition to Mark 1,100 Years at Albrechtsburg Meißen

The concept kicks off a citizen drive to collect personal histories that shape a shared Saxony story.

Overview

  • The detailed concept, presented Tuesday at Albrechtsburg Meißen, outlines a 2029 state exhibition and anchors it at a site often called Saxony's cradle.
  • The show centers on the question “What is actually Saxon?” and connects eras from the Middle Ages and Baroque to industrialization, National Socialism, the GDR, and today.
  • Organizers will start this year with social media, events, and local projects to gather residents’ stories for a common narrative by 2029.
  • Culture Minister Barbara Klepsch said the exhibition seeks to reflect identity and belonging and stressed that everyday people shape history.
  • Minister President Michael Kretschmer called the exhibition an invitation to take part across the state.
