Fur trade district Brühl Leipzig, Historical fur trade district in Brühl, Leipzig, Germany.

The Brühl district contains a collection of commercial buildings and warehouses dedicated to the international fur trade business in central Leipzig.

From 1530 until the 1930s, this district controlled one-third of global fur commerce, establishing Leipzig as the primary European center for fur trading.

The district developed strong connections with the Jewish merchant community, who established numerous successful fur trading companies and specialized retail shops.

Located near Leipzig Central Station, the district now features modern shopping facilities while maintaining elements of its commercial architectural heritage.

The Romanus House, constructed between 1701 and 1704, stands as one of the remaining baroque structures from the district's trading period.
