Chemmy

The Chemmy is the award for the "Athlete of the Year" from Chemnitz . Because many of the award-winning athletes are known nationwide and internationally, the “Sport Chemmy” has significance beyond the city limits. The Chemmy is awarded annually at a ball as an honor for the past year.

The award was initiated in 1998 by the former world champions Michael Hübner (track cycling), Thomas Schönlebe and Jens Carlowitz (athletics) and the director Steffen Trautzsch . The honorary sculpture "Chemmy", which symbolizes the industrial past of Chemnitz, was created by the Chemnitz artist Ralph Siebenborn .

The organization team has been working with the Laureus Foundation since 2014 . The foundation supports sports projects that bring children of different social origins and skin color together. The income from a raffle will be collected and used to benefit a Chemnitz association that is socially committed to popular sports.
