Don’t be misled by the book’s title: this is not a love story that Frankfurt-based chemist Matthias Rischer has presented here. At most, there is a very gentle, faint hint of one on the sidelines. Nor is it a coming-of-age story. Rather, it is a story that sketches out something that could well be upon […]
There’s a demonstration today. Today, someone who doesn’t usually take to the streets is demonstrating: the city of Leipzig itself. Just like hundreds of other local authorities across Germany, which are being brought to their knees by the mandatory tasks imposed by the federal government and are sliding ever deeper into debt. ‘Local authorities at […]
At the presentation of the “Annual Report 2026 – Volume I” on 18 June, the State Audit Office did not merely level a clear-cut, sweeping criticism of the Free State of Saxony’s financial management. It also painted a sobering picture of Saxony’s airport operations. In fact, this has been obvious to critics of airport policy […]
It is a mammoth of a book, a mammoth of a life story that the Russian-speaking author Gusel Yakhina has presented here: the entire life of the most famous Soviet director – Sergei Eisenstein (1898–1948). A life like a film, one might think. Even if Eisenstein himself may not have felt that way. But Yakhin […]

But that is not quite the intention. Katrin Löffler’s book does not tell the story of a turning point in history. In her book, […]
The situation regarding the expansion and electrification of the direct rail link between Leipzig and Chemnitz is a tragedy: for years, Deutsche Bahn, the federal government and the Free State of Saxony have dragged their feet on the project. Now the project has found itself in the midst of a period of radical cutbacks. And […]
Things are set to get interesting at the council meeting on 1 July: will the council administration succeed in its bid to sacrifice the small wood on Capastraße so that RB Leipzig can have the training pitches promised in the agreement and the Kleinmesse can remain at its current site? The council had actually promised […]
It was hard to escape the impression that the Saxon State Directorate had chosen its timing deliberately: in mid-December, right in the middle of the Christmas rush, it published its general administrative order declaring Lake Cospuden navigable. But environmental organizations have the right to object to such proceedings. The Leipzig-based group Ökolöwe has done exactly […]
