Neue Börse, Trade exchange building in Leipzig, Germany
Neue Börse was a trade building in Neo-Renaissance style located at Tröndlinring 2 in Leipzig, designed with distinctive architectural features. The structure contained multiple levels, including a large assembly hall on the second floor, a basement restaurant, offices, and a library holding about 100,000 volumes.
The building was constructed between 1884 and 1886 to replace an earlier stock exchange and served as Leipzig's main trade center until 1943. It was destroyed during World War II bombing raids and later demolished in 1958.
The building served as a central meeting place where merchants and traders gathered to conduct business and exchange information. Its spaces reflected Leipzig's importance as a commercial hub that attracted people from different industries.
The location was easily accessible in the city center and offered different areas for various activities. Visitors could dine in the restaurants, use the library, or participate in business meetings in the assembly halls.
After wartime destruction, the site remained empty and undeveloped for more than 50 years before a modern hotel was built there in 2013. This long gap left a hole in the city's landscape until the new building finally occupied the space.
