Summer temperatures, tasty meals, refreshing drinks and a special party location: this was offered by the 4th TUCsommernacht on July 1, 2023. Approximately 1,800 guests experienced a special evening in an atmospheric setting in the courtyard of the Böttcher-Bau of Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC). Among them were many TUC graduates who had participated in the graduation ceremony in the afternoon on the Chemnitz Theaterplatz and wanted to celebrate their graduation with the TUC family afterwards. Some guests also traveled from the surrounding area, including students from Mittweida, Leipzig, Dresden, Merseburg and Halle.

Various music and culinary offers provided a relaxed atmosphere until around midnight. For the first time, DJs and music lovers from the university put on the records that evening. The new Vice President for Research and University Development of TUC, Prof. Dr. Anja Strobel, showed her musical side and played some of her favorite titles. Anyone who wanted could also swing their hips to the beat of DJ Ingwer and Prof. Dr. Matthias Niedobitek, head of the Professorship of European Integration with a focus on European Administration. Giuseppe Sanseverino, a research associate at the Professorship of Sports Equipment and Technology, and Prof. Dr. Bertolt Meyer, head of the Professorship of Work, Organizational, and Economic Psychology of TUC, provided musical enjoyment. Not to be missed in a celebration of the TUC family were the DJs of the TUC students' parties, such as DJ Psysky - better known at TUC as Aakash Sahu, technical assistant at the Professorship of Textile Technologies. And the electronic open-air music of OELV and DJ Serotoni heated up the courtyard. DJ Serotoni alias Antonin Fischer, TUC graduate of the course Sensors and Cognitive Psychology, proved his multi-talented skills that day, as he had already enriched the program of the graduation ceremony with a humorous speech in the afternoon.

Anyone who wanted could take a dance break at several game tables in the Alter Heizhaus or take fun souvenir photos at the photo box. You could refuel at the Tian Thai food truck, at the Le Parisien stand, and at the Chemnitz-Zwickau Student Services grill stand. The TK cocktail bar, the AOK smoothie bike, the cocktail bar of the student club "PEB Studentenkeller" and the stands of "Party Querbeet" provided the drinks.

Even when a little rain set in late in the evening, the courtyard of TUC vibrated from the full bass and dancing guests who wanted to enjoy the TUCsommernacht until around midnight.
