Leipziger Festwiese, Open-air event meadow near Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, Germany
The Festwiese spans 41,000 square meters of grassy space enclosed by earthen walls with eastern and western entry points next to Red Bull Arena.
Originally known as Ranstädter Viehweide in the early 1900s, this area transformed into an event ground during the 1930s with significant modifications in 1956.
The meadow regularly hosts major outdoor concerts, with performances by international musicians including Michael Jackson, U2, Depeche Mode, and Rolling Stones.
Public transportation lines 3, 7, 8, 15, 53, and 55 stop directly at the venue, which can accommodate up to 75,000 attendees for large events.
A 43-meter-high bell tower named after Werner Seelenbinder stands at the northern edge of the grounds, marking this protected cultural monument.
