It won't. The new building is as high as the Stadthaus next to it.

I like this new project near the new Rathaus but for me it would be much better without the tower. It would fit much better if the height of the building was the same as its "wings" and the adjacent historical buildings.

I don't think so. There exists also plans which are smaller. Like this one

absolutely inappropriate in my opinion. It is a chance to bring this ensemble to a good end. The old pre war building was quite nice but much to small for the Stadthaus that was build next to it few years later.
An indication how fast this city grew that time by the way.

So which building is going to be built? That nice neo-"Kaufhaus Petersdorff" or that bland boring alternative?

Amazing that all that can be built on what looks like such a tiny corner of land. A real streetscape improvement.

The canals and streams were restored in the last 20 years too, which gets celebrated with the annual water festival:

Thanks a lot for this thread Karasek, it was so overdue!

Please keep going! And it'd be great if the forumers from (around) Leipzig contribute interesting material here as well, it's your chance to show the world the gem the city is becoming
