Petershof, Cultural heritage monument and retail building at Petersstrasse 20, Leipzig, Germany
The Petershof building features a travertine-clad facade with protruding window reveals and extends between Petersstrasse, Sporergäßchen, Burgstrasse, and Thomaskirchhof.
Developed by Leipziger Messe- und Ausstellungs-AG and designed by architect Alfred Liebig, Petershof was constructed from 1927 to 1929 as a trade fair building.
The entrance foyer displays modernist architectural elements with colorful ceramics, while the facade includes statues representing architect Liebig and financier Hans Kroch.
The ground floor contains retail spaces, and the building includes three additional stories within its pointed roof structure for commercial purposes.
Until 2003, Petershof contained Leipzig's largest cinema, Capitol, in its basement and back building before major renovations in 2004.
