Markt, Market square and pedestrian zone in Zentrum, Germany

The Markt spans 140 meters in length and 70 meters in width, featuring a distinct granite pavement with Leipzig's coat of arms at its center.

The square changed its name to Platz des Friedens from 1950 to 1954, marking a period of transformation in post-war German urban development.

The Old Town Hall, constructed in 1556, stands at the eastern edge of the Markt, representing traditional German architectural design and municipal governance.

The Markt connects to public transportation through the Leipziger Markt underground railway station, opened in 2013, and several surrounding tram services.

The square recorded its final public execution in 1824 when Johann Christian Woyzeck faced punishment for murdering his mistress.
