Anker, Cultural center in Leipzig, Germany
Anker is a cultural center in Leipzig occupying a large facility on Renftstraße that provides multiple spaces for artistic and creative work. The venue includes areas for pottery, photography, media production, dance performances, theater productions, and other activities, along with a garden area featuring a playground.

The center is animated by various artist groups and creative practitioners from Leipzig who regularly display work and develop projects. This use by local talent makes it a gathering point for anyone working creatively in the city or wanting to experience art in progress.
Visitors can find various workshops and activities on site that run regularly, with advance inquiries recommended for participation. The garden and playground areas are freely accessible and offer relaxed spaces to explore.
