Westwerk Leipzig, Cultural center in Plagwitz, Leipzig, Germany.

The Westwerk building spans 16,000 square meters and features industrial architecture with large windows, modern design elements, and multiple exhibition spaces.

Originally constructed as an industrial valve manufacturing plant, the building transformed into an arts quarter in 2007 after the previous company declared bankruptcy in 1996.

The building houses numerous artists, craftspeople, musicians, and small businesses who contribute to Leipzig's creative community through exhibitions and performances.

Located on Karl-Heine-Straße 85-93, the Westwerk offers regular art exhibitions, markets, workshops, and includes retail spaces accessible through public transportation.

The building's name refers to its west-facing portal of the main automated hall, designed in the New Building style of architecture.
