Life

Addi Jacobi was born in Chemnitz in 1936. He completed an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk at VEB Fettchemie and Fewa-Werke Chemnitz . Various jobs followed, including in the Karl-Marx-Städter city administration under Lord Mayor Kurt Berthel . He began training in journalism and completed a correspondence course in journalism in 1969. For five years he was head of the press office of the City Council of Karl-Marx-Stadt. In 1971 he began working in public relations at the district film directorate, which he accompanied until the company closed in 1990. Jacobi wrote film reviews, stood on the stage and directed a radio broadcast for the radio house of what was then the Central German Broadcasting Center. He never let his life's theme Chemnitz out of sight. This was followed by many years as an editor for the “Chemnitzer Tageblatt”, where he brought the film medium closer to the readers with his synchronizations and in-depth reviews. After that, he mainly worked as a freelance journalist and was one of the founding members of the German Association of Journalists (DJV) in Saxony. Every year on March 5, Jacobi remembered the bombing night of 1945 in Chemnitz with a matinee, and he also commemorated the Chemnitz dead on the day of national mourning. He was also a member of the table for the preservation of local heritage and monuments and the initiator of the series "One hour of local history". Since 1992, the city magazine “Stadtstreicher” published his “Ratsgewüreltes” as well as his monthly column “Chemnitz Heads”, where he published biographies of well-known Chemnitz residents.
