Emerging at the crossroads of two trading routes, Leipzig quickly established its dominance over neighbouring towns such as Meresburg and Halle, thanks to its trade fair privileges. The affluent citizens transformed this town on the banks of the White Elster into a hub for publishing and music.
During the industrial revolution, Leipzig earned global recognition as a trading centre. Despite enduring two world wars and challenging times under the German Democratic Republic, Leipzig has managed to recapture some of its former glory. Thriving businesses have set up shop in the city, which now boasts well-developed infrastructure. Formerly grimy open-cast mines have been converted into leisure areas, while the cultural scene is experiencing a renaissance. Civic society remains as active as it was during the peaceful revolution, contributing to Leipzig's status as one of Germany's fastest-growing cities.
Take a leisurely stroll through the compact city centre where you'll encounter impressive trade fair buildings and coffee houses, the university, St. Nicholas Church, and various art and cultural institutions. Venture further afield to witness the transformation of former open-cast lignite mines into a scenic lake landscape.
