The front of the old town hall in Leipzig is opposite the main entrance to the Mädlerpassage and is a beautiful Renaissance building. It is also the landmark backdrop for the famous Leipzig Christmas market.

The first town hall building on this site dates back to the 14th century. The building was designed from 1556 by Hieronymus Lotter, then mayor of Leipzig, also well known as the architect of the Saxon Elector August for his hunting lodge Augustusburg near Chemnitz.

Hiking

The old town hall of Leipzig is located on the east side of the market and is one of the most important buildings of the Saxon Renaissance. In the periphery of the old town hall, life has always been in the center of the city and the old walls are witnesses and silent observers of the city's lively history. The venerable building was erected in the middle of the 14th century, because the wealthy citizens of Leipzig wanted to create a place that was appropriate for the various functions regulating urban life in the growing trading city.
