Felix Kummer, singer of the Chemnitz band Kraftklub, missed a clearer stance against right-wing extremism during the Capital of Culture year. He and his bandmates really enjoyed the year, the 36-year-old told the German Press Agency. "But we would have liked the problem of right-wing extremism to be addressed more clearly and not in the way we've always known it, according to the motto: You have to get everyone around the table and talk to everyone."
In 2018, Kraftklub initiated the #WirSindMehr concert after right-wing extremist excesses in the city - with K.I.Z. and Die Toten Hosen, among others. Their new album "Sterben in Karl-Marx-Stadt" will be released this Friday. That was the name of Chemnitz, which was the capital of culture this year, in the GDR.
