Löhrs Carré, Office complex in Leipzig, Germany.
Löhrs Carré is an office complex in Leipzig's Nordvorstadt, bounded by Uferstraße, Nordstraße, Keilstraße and Löhrstraße. The Humboldtstraße, a green pedestrian zone, divides it into a larger northern and smaller southern part, each with five-storey buildings around courtyards. The northern courtyard holds a four-storey rotunda, and at the southeast corner of the northern part rises an 18-storey tower, 65 metres high, framed by a 14-storey section whose walls are angled 10 degrees to the main building. Facades combine dark glass and light granite.
The site remained vacant after World War II until 1992 when Sparkasse Leipzig and Landesbank Sachsen launched the development project. The two financial institutions created a new anchor point for the quarter's economic revival.
The glass bridge between the buildings displays colorful glass panels created by American artist Siah Armajani. His work adds an artistic touch that enriches the everyday experience of those passing through.
The complex is bounded by Uferstraße, Nordstraße, Keilstraße and Löhrstraße, and Humboldtstraße cuts through it as a green pedestrian zone. Public ground-level passages run through the courtyards, and the two-storey footbridge crosses above Humboldtstraße. Ground-floor units hold restaurants and shops.
The 14-storey section at the south-east corner of the 18-storey tower has walls set at 10 degrees to those of the main building. The complex also holds a four-storey round building inside the northern courtyard, reached through public ground-level passages.
