Hotel Astoria, Heritage hotel near Leipzig Central Station, Germany

Hotel Astoria is a multi-storey building with a pale facade and a steep brown mansard roof, its front spelling "HOTEL ASTORIA" in gold letters. Rows of rectangular windows with green shutters, round windows on the upper floor and dormer windows with gold trim line the facade, which has a central section, side wings and a tower-like block on the right. Dresden architects William Lossow and Max Hans Kühne designed it, and it was built from 1913 to 1915 on a 2,800-square-metre site.

The building opened on December 5, 1915, marking an early chapter in modern Leipzig's hospitality. It sustained damage during the December 1943 air raid on the city but was not completely destroyed.

The dining room displays wall paintings by Werner Tübke that define its interior character. The architecture bears the signature of Dresden architects William Lossow and Max Hans Kühne, whose design approach is evident throughout the structure.

The building stands directly west of Leipzig Central Station on Willy-Brandt-Platz, between Kurt-Schumacher-Strasse and Gerberstrasse. The main entrance was moved to the south side during the post-war reconstruction, so approach from the square rather than the station side. The site is closed to the public during the ongoing renovation.

The hotel's dining hall was decorated by painter Werner Tübke with wall paintings titled Die fünf Kontinente. In 1958 the hotel hall received coloured glass windows by Rolf Stokinger based on a design by Heinz Wagner, and in 1959 the café gained a large hinterglas painting, Kaffee-Ernte, by Arndt Schultheiß and Max Gerhard Uhlig.
