This coming Saturday, 22 August, Leipzig’s Marktplatz will once again be transformed into a hub for climate action, sustainability and social justice from 1.00 pm to 10.00 pm. The “Leipzig for the Climate” initiative invites citizens, associations and organisations to the KlimaFair 2026 to provide impetus for sustainable urban and social policies. As well as […]
On Saturday 22 August, the Bach Museum in Leipzig is hosting its annual summer festival from 10 am to 6 pm. There’ll be a varied programme for the whole family, featuring guided tours, hands-on activities and the Papperlapapp puppet theatre. Admission is free. Summer, sunshine and the holidays wouldn’t be complete without the annual summer […]
In what is surely their best-known hit (“Kling-Klang”), the band Keimzeit sing: “Good afternoon, twice all the way to Tierra del Fuego please, the ship’s gone a bit off course …” These words must surely have been a very prescient reference to Leipzig. For here at the zoo, the new ‘Tierra del Fuego’ themed area […]
No, it’s not a broken-down bike riding through the panda enclosure – it’s the squeaking of the little fluffy cubs born a few days ago to their two-year-old mum, Kamala, which first alerted the keepers to the new arrivals (as reported by the LZ). Leipzig Zoo had been hoping for such an event for quite […]
There’s great excitement at Leipzig Zoo over this little cuddly wonder! For the past two weeks, a curious little nose has been peeking out now and then from the pouch of Erlinga, the female koala. First one little paw, then two. One eye, then the other. A little head – and then quickly back into […]
It’s THE crowd favourite at Leipzig Zoo! The baby of female koala Erlinga. Born initially the size of a gummy bear, in October it would occasionally peek out of the pouch on its mum’s belly, where it’s growing up. And it’s already starting to look quite koala-like… At the end of the month, it climbed […]
Still no name – and not even a kilo in weight. But both are set to change! Monday 19 January 2026 is the deadline for submitting name suggestions for the star koala at Leipzig Zoo. And now Erlinga and her baby have even had some distinguished visitors. Alongside the familiar reporters from the ‘Elefant, Tiger […]
It’s not just the Kenyan savannah that’s incredibly hot. That’s where the Grévy’s zebras are found – the largest and, at the same time, the most endangered of the three existing zebra species. In Leipzig’s African savannah, the Kiwara Kopje, the sun also beats down mercilessly on shrubs, trees and wildlife. There are shady shelters, […]
The unpleasant season is demonstrably over. Many animals at Leipzig Zoo have made the most of the months when we’d all rather be snuggled up somewhere warm, and have blessed the zoo with a whole host of little ‘June bugs’! Not all of them are visible yet, but as we all know, they grow particularly […]
This sends an important message, and not just at a time of rising anti-Semitism: from 21 to 28 June, Leipzig will be celebrating its 17th Jewish Week, which in 2026 will be particularly marked by the ‘Tacheles’ theme year. Here, we take a look at some of the highlights of the 133 events in total, […]
It has already made a brief appearance: snow, that unmistakable sign of winter. Not enough yet for sledding fun, perhaps, but the city is not ours alone. For many wild birds, even a thin dusting of snow – or simply frozen ground – is enough to make finding food a struggle. Those who provide the […]
