Plagwitz, Industrial district in western Leipzig, Germany
Karl-Heine canal system extends through the district, connecting residential buildings, former factories, and modern art spaces within the urban landscape.
The quarter developed during the 19th century industrialization period when entrepreneur Karl Heine established factories and constructed waterways for transportation.
Spinnerei, a former cotton mill complex, contains numerous art galleries, workshops, and exhibition spaces that showcase contemporary artists and creators.
The district connects to central Leipzig through tram lines 14 and 3, offering direct access to galleries, studios, and industrial heritage sites.
Former power station Kunstkraftwerk now functions as an experimental digital art center, displaying large-scale multimedia installations throughout the year.
