Großmarkthalle Leipzig, Market hall in Leipzig, Germany
Description
Großmarkthalle Leipzig is a market hall in Leipzig featuring a large reinforced concrete structure distributed across multiple levels. Large arched windows run through the interior and allow natural light, creating a space used for selling and buying fresh produce and local goods.
History
Architects Hubert Ritter, Franz Dischinger, and Hubert Rüsch completed this market hall in 1928 using modern engineering techniques. The building reflects how the period after World War One opened new possibilities in concrete construction.
Culture
The building shaped the identity of the working and trading communities and reflects the site's role as a center for commerce and exchange. Visitors can still see how the architecture was designed to handle large volumes of goods and bring people together.
Practical
The building is best visited during the day when light streams through the large windows and the hall is in full operation. The different levels are easy to explore, and there is plenty of space to walk around and take in the surroundings.
Did you know?
The architecture employs a special concrete construction with large arches that were still experimental at the time but later became standard in many other buildings. This system made it possible to create a large open space without many internal supports.
