Großmarkthalle Leipzig, Market hall in Leipzig, Germany

Großmarkthalle Leipzig, known as Kohlrabizirkus, is a former wholesale market hall in Leipzig with two reinforced concrete domes spanning 75 metres each, 29 metres high and only about nine centimetres thick. The domes sit on a 65-metre tension ring carried by eight inclined steel supports, with a 28-metre skylight at each apex and a three-metre band of windows running around the building.

Leipzig's wholesale market hall was built from May 1927 to October 1929 to a design by city building director Hubert Ritter, with the two domes calculated by engineers Franz Dischinger and the 24-year-old Hubert Rüsch for Dyckerhoff & Widmann AG. The domes, then the largest solid concrete domes in the world, were completed in 1929; a planned third dome and high-rise were never built. The hall served fruit and vegetable wholesaling until October 1995.

The nickname Kohlrabizirkus, coined for the two domes' shape and the former vegetable trade, is now the building's established name. Three 160-metre aisles once ran beneath the domes, lined with wholesalers' stalls; the doors to these aisles and their access bridges can still be made out on the south side. Since 2018 the north dome has housed the Icefighters Leipzig ice hockey team.

The hall is no longer a working market: wholesale trading ended in October 1995. The site is at An den Tierkliniken 38 in Zentrum-Südost, and the ground-level entrances on the north and east sides are reached over bridges because ramps run around the basement. The north dome holds an ice rink with stands for 2,500 spectators.

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.
