Konsumzentrale Leipzig, Heritage monument in Plagwitz, Leipzig, Germany.

The Konsumzentrale Leipzig spans 180 meters along Industriestrasse with a reinforced concrete structure covered in clinker bricks and horizontal window bands.

Built between 1929 and 1932 by architect Fritz Höger, the building served as headquarters for one of Germany's largest consumer cooperatives.

The structure represents North German clinker expressionism architecture with its maritime-inspired design, featuring turquoise-blue tiles and vermilion railings inside.

Located at Industriestrasse 85-95, the restored building now functions as office spaces and event venues, maintaining its connection to the Konsum cooperative.

The building resembles an ocean liner with its command bridge design, positioned next to the Karl-Heine-Channel that was intended to connect Leipzig to maritime routes.
