The Fab Foundation is the collaborative founder network and the initiative for all official FabLab sub-organizations and thus the provider of our name "FabLab Chemnitz". We are therefore part of the global Fab Lab Network (fablabs.io).
We have been a member of the Verbund Offener Werkstätten since February 2016 and are therefore another small sliver of the network, helping to spread the guidelines and operating principles of open workshops. We attend the annual general meeting of the VOW every year whenever possible and always look forward to this special event.
The Saxon Industrial Museum and Stadtfabrikanten e.V. have been cooperation partners since the end of October 2019. We are delighted about the joint collaboration for the Year of Saxon Industrial Culture 2020, specifically with the 4th Saxon State Exhibition and the "Maschinenboom" showcase exhibition in Chemnitz, for which we realized the Trikarus project. We are also in constant communication on various other topics and events.
Sebastian Nikolitsch with his project "ART around" has been a loyal companion of our association since the very beginning. We have already managed a number of events together and are grateful for his commitment, even in difficult times such as Covid-19. Without Sebastian, many things would not have taken place.
The Stadtwirtschaft is the intervention area for the gathering of diverse artistic, musical, technical and socio-cultural types, including us Stadtfabrikanten e.V. - Together with the team of Kreatives Chemnitz, we are involved in the long-term revitalization, development and co-design of the southern Sonnenberg.
The Bauspielplatz as a project of the AJZ (Alternatives Jugendzentrum e.V.), represented by Timo Groß, is a really great place on Lessingplatz for our young people to get active. As neighboring initiatives, we now organize one or two events together. We hope that this alliance will not be affected by our move from Philippstraße.

We have been a proud member of Hand in Hand e.V. since May 2023. We look forward to working together on various initiatives in our cultural district of Chemnitz.
In 2023, we countersigned a letter of intent to collaborate with the Gründungsgarage and look forward to generating thematic and content-related exchanges in the future. We are very confident that this will work out well, as we will have short distances for a consistent exchange as neighbors in the Stadtwirtschaft.
We are currently working with Holm from Kraftwerk e.V. (since February 2024) on a cooperation for a mini maker space at Kraftwerk. We are excited to see what we will spin out of it together.
The Netzwerk für Kultur- und Jugendarbeit e.V. is a voluntary association of mainly non-profit organizations, associations and initiatives in Chemnitz. The network acts on the basis of democratic decisions and open and transparent working structures.
We have also been a member since 16.05.2019 and look forward to working together.
Sometimes projects come to an end and topics are not taken up again or alliances are not renewed. There are many reasons for this. But it doesn't have to stay that way. For historical reasons, we are happy to continue to list this.
