Downtown Leipzig. Home to my former school, Leipzig University, Museum of Modern Art, Zeitgeschichtliches Forum (Museum of Contemporary German History, focusing on the GDR history especially) and multiple shopping malls and other institutions. Here, a quiet back street.

leipzig: alte messe


I.E. Old Fair. This particular building is the former Soviet Pavilion. Although new investments, such as the National Library or Leipzig University buildings, arise around the Old Fair area, the quarter itself is still underdeveloped. Some buildings are abandoned, some house retail businesses. Also there is a spot where guys from Leipzig Bike Polo meet up Friday nights to play pick-up games and have beers.
