Cineplex Leipzig

Ludwigsburger Str. 13, 04209 Leipzig

Leipzig, Saxony's largest city, carries an extraordinary cultural weight: Bach composed here, Mendelssohn conducted here, and the Monday demonstrations of 1989 began in the Nikolaikirche. The Cineplex on Ludwigsburger Strasse operates in a city whose appetite for the arts is matched by few in Germany. Leipzig's role as a publishing capital, a music city, and a centre of contemporary art -- the Spinnerei complex alone rivals many national galleries -- creates an audience of unusual cultural literacy. The cinema serves this demanding public from its position in the western districts, part of a city that has found in its post-reunification renaissance a creative energy that now draws artists and entrepreneurs from across Europe.
