Hotel de Pologne, Cultural heritage monument in Hainstrasse, Leipzig, Germany
Hotel de Pologne is a five-story building with a thirteen-bay facade in Florentine Renaissance style, featuring rusticated stonework, round windows, and segmental arches. After major renovations from 2011 to 2014, it now serves as office and event space with five modern conference rooms.
Christian August Pusch combined two historic inns in 1843 and named the establishment in honor of Polish royalty. This founding began a long history as a major gathering place during Leipzig's trade fair seasons.
The grand ballroom with ornate stucco details and painted ceilings was the backdrop for balls and celebrations during Leipzig's trade fair seasons. This room still shapes how visitors understand the building's role in the city's social life.

The building served many purposes across the decades, from a hospital during World War I to a cabaret stage and trade fair offices. This shifting history of uses reflects the turbulent events that Leipzig itself experienced.
