Living at the cutting edge - in Leipzig
Leipzig combines historical charm with a lively, modern flair and offers a rich history, diverse districts and an urban lifestyle - an ideal place for your new home.
The attitude to life in Leipzig is defined by a dynamic mix of cultural diversity, historical depth and a lively young scene. The city, often referred to as the "new Berlin", radiates a creative energy that is reflected in its numerous galleries, bookshops and thriving music and art scene. Leipzig's historical significance as a trade fair and book city as well as the site of the peaceful revolution lends it a unique character that harmoniously combines tradition and progress. The green spaces and waterways, in particular Clara Zetkin Park and the Karl Heine Canal, offer a haven of peace in the midst of urban bustle. This contrast between the up-and-coming city life and the quiet retreats, combined with a strong sense of community and a cosmopolitan atmosphere, defines the special attitude to life in Leipzig. There is good reason why Leipzig has the most dynamic population growth of all major German cities.
Leipzig - the "Little Paris“
Economic and cultural metropolis with 1,000 years of history
Leipzig - the heart of the metropolitan region of Central Germany - impresses visitors and over 600,000 residents with its rich cultural heritage and a lively contemporary scene that gives the city a unique feel. Its historical importance as a trading city is reflected in the picturesque arcades and courtyards that invite you to stroll and explore. Cultural highlights such as the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Leipzig Opera offer top-class musical performances, while the Bach Museum and the Monument to the Battle of the Nations allow visitors to immerse themselves in history. Leipzig's art scene is very much at home in the Baumwollspinnerei, a former industrial complex that now houses studios, galleries and cultural spaces.
