Gästehaus des Ministerrates und Politbüros der DDR
Gästehaus des Ministerrates und Politbüros der DDR, Government guest house in Music Quarter, Leipzig, Germany
The complex consists of a two-story flat building with two courtyards and a six-story main building facing Schwägrichenstraße, opposite Clara-Zetkin-Park.
From 1969 to 1989, this official accommodation served high-ranking state officials and international guests during the German Democratic Republic period.
The structure features architectural elements typical of East German government buildings, including a six-meter-long wall relief by Leipzig painter Bernhard Heisig.
The building complex spans 10,600 square meters and undergoes renovations to create 130 residential units, scheduled for completion by 2025.
In 1983, a secret meeting in the building's secure basement led to negotiations for a billion-mark loan to support the financially struggling East German state.
