Alte Handelsschule, Cultural heritage building in Leipzig-Kleinzschocher, Germany

The Alte Handelsschule spans 7000 square meters between Gießerstraße 75 and Dieskaustraße 26, featuring multiple buildings dedicated to artistic and educational purposes.

Originally established as a public school in 1888, the complex served as Leipzig's vocational school from 1947 until 2005 before its transformation into an art center.

The complex houses 60 studios for 100 artists working in graphic arts, painting, ceramics, and sculpture, forming an international art district in western Leipzig.

Visitors can explore the studios during the annual Offene Ateliers Leipzig event, where artists open their workspaces to showcase their creative processes.

The facility includes a Wildkammer that hosts small festivals and will incorporate a communal kitchen, supporting community gatherings and artistic collaboration.
