    Hiking

    The town hall was built on the former foundations of Pleissenburg. The tower Pleissenburg was preserved as a symbol of Leipzig, and integrated into the building.
    Translated by
    The town hall tower, which is identical to the rest of the Pleissenburg tower right down to the top floor, is the highest in Germany at 114.7 metres. 417 steps lead to a viewing platform.
    The climb is worth it!

    Hiking

    Built on the foundations of the razed Pleissenburg Castle, the monumental building has a fairy-tale effect thanks to its eclectic architectural style with elements from the late Renaissance, Baroque and Art Nouveau. And yet the building is reminiscent of the medieval stronghold where, in July 1519, the Leipzig disputation between Martin Luther and the challenger Dr. Johannes Eck took place. Luther, along with Melanchthon, fearlessly defended his views on the Reformation.
