Untergrundmessehaus, Abandoned underground exhibition hall in Leipzig, Germany
The Untergrundmessehaus features a two-flight staircase entrance designed in Art Deco style, leading to an expansive 1,800 square meter underground exhibition space.
Built in 1924 as the world's first subterranean exhibition building, the structure provided space for 175 exhibitors during Leipzig's international trade fairs until 2005.
The building represented Leipzig's innovative approach to trade fair architecture, incorporating underground spaces when surface construction became restricted in the city center.
The original structure was demolished in October 2005 to make way for the City Tunnel, with its entrance reconstructed as the Leipzig Market train station.
The entrance design by Otto Droge remains preserved through the current City Tunnel station, maintaining the historical architectural connection to the original building.
