‘Lulatsch’

An enormous rainbow structure towers above a German city. In the day, it looks kind of like a giant multicolored popsicle, and at night, it transforms into a massive, glowing beacon.

Chemnitz, a city in the eastern part of Germany, sits at the foothills of the Ore Mountains. Formerly known as Karl-Marx-Stadt until the country’s reunification, it has over the years struggled in terms of stature, growth, and reputation in comparison to the larger Saxonian cities of Dresden and Leipzig.
