Companion Booklet for the Exhibition Happy Birthday Industry Museum – 10 Years of the Chemnitz Museum of Industry
The title provides a brief overview of the history of the Richter Foundry, covering its stages as an independent company, as part of Auto Union, and as the training facility “Rudolf Harlaß,” before outlining the plans for museum use and the founding of the support association.
A chronicle of the exhibitions over the past 10 years completes the publication. The book is richly illustrated and, in addition to numerous floor plans, an architectural classification of the buildings, and newspaper clippings, also includes an oral history interview with a forced laborer who was required to work in the foundry during World War II.
