Leipzig Cotton Mill

The old former industrial site (formerly cotton mill) is worth a visit, especially for art lovers. Several times a year artistic events take place here.

Founded in 1884, the company became the largest cotton mill in continental Europe within a quarter of a century.After its founding in 1884, a veritable factory town with more than 20 production buildings, workers' housing, kindergartens and a recreation estate grew up in the west of Leipzig. In 1907 the factory had reached its greatest extent. On around 100,000 m², cotton was processed with 240,000 spindles. Up to 4,000 people worked here until 1989 in three-shift operation, until production was discontinued after German reunification.

It is worth descending here and taking a lap around the site!
