Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei, Industrial art complex in Altwest district, Leipzig, Germany
The Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei spans 25 acres and contains numerous galleries, studios, workshops, and creative spaces within its brick industrial buildings.
Founded in 1884, the facility grew to become continental Europe's largest cotton mill by 1907, operating 240,000 spindles and employing 4,000 workers.
The complex houses ten art galleries, including EIGEN + ART Gallery, along with 100 resident artists, making it a center for contemporary art.
Visitors can explore the premises from Tuesday to Saturday between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with guided tours available to learn about the site's development.
The former steam engine hall now serves as an exhibition space, while original railway platforms remain as reminders of the industrial past.
