Konsumzentrale Leipzig, Expressionist office building in Plagwitz, Leipzig, Germany

The Konsumzentrale Leipzig is a clinker-brick building on Industriestrasse 85–95 in Plagwitz, designed by Fritz Höger and built 1929–1932 for the Konsumgenossenschaft Leipzig eG. Its streamlined forms recall shipbuilding, and the so-called bowl glass panes express modernity and dynamism. Inside, coloured wall tiles and a stairwell modelled on a ship's staircase continue the maritime theme.

Fritz Höger built the Konsumzentrale from 1929 to 1932 for the Konsumgenossenschaft Leipzig eG, which still occupies it today. The building survived National Socialism, the Second World War and the GDR almost undamaged. As part of the EXPO project Plagwitz auf dem Weg ins 21. Jahrhundert it was extensively restored. Since 2022 the MIB AG has been redeveloping the complex into a creative campus with over 33,000 m² of rental space, adding a five-storey new building with more than 500 windows in 2023 and raising the historic warehouse; completion is planned for 2026.

The building's name comes from the Konsumgenossenschaft Leipzig eG, the consumer cooperative that commissioned it and still occupies it today.

The Konsumzentrale also served as the set for the fictional police headquarters in the Leipzig Tatort television series.
