The journey to school in Wahren will be safer in future, whilst roads in Mockau and Markkleeberg will have to be closed as the waterworks bring in excavators. An exciting exhibition invites visitors on a journey […]
Anyone who has to travel between Halle and Leipzig tonight – whether for work or to join the party – should allow plenty of time. Watch out for railway works! Anniversary: The GDR’s largest stadium was inaugurated 70 years ago today and, in a sense, has survived to the present day. There are some particularly […]
A steel giant is rising – though it cannot be seen doing so. A pop giant, on the other hand, is set to fill the Parkbühne for two evenings. Less welcome are the price rises for public transport and at the local music school. Before the summer break, the Capa-Haus is hosting one more exhibition […]
The opencast mines took up land and displaced people. Yet they also provided jobs and a sense of community… The Minister-Presidents of Central Germany are meeting today at a rehabilitated opencast mine site to discuss the future of structural change following the phase-out. The event features an exciting book launch, the prospect of reduced rail […]
Klar, Sommerloch – aber ´ne Baustelle, die einen Stau verursacht, findet sich fast immer: mehr Zeit auf der Prager Straße einplanen! Wenig Zeit bleibt den Studierenden der Musik- und Theater-Hochschule, nämlich keine 24 Stunden mehr. Und auch an der Uni gehts heute um Pünktlichkeit (aber mit Chance auf Nachholtermine). Und was Laserdrucker mit Ihrer Steuererklärung […]
New road closures, new diversions – there’s building, building and more building going on in Leipzig. LZ shows you how to get into and through the city, to the station or around it, by bus and train. From today, there are also replacement timetables for regional services, for example on the route to Chemnitz. To […]
A two-day children’s festival right in the city centre – this weekend, Augustuspatz will be transformed into a fun-filled adventure course for children on their summer holidays. For residents living along the railway line in Wahren, there’s a brief respite, whilst at the Parkbühne, Australian rock legends Rose Tattoo bid farewell to their European audience. […]
Construction work is underway – both in the city and on the way there. Visitors from Chemnitz should expect longer journey times. On the plus side, train journeys to Döbeln are running smoothly again from today. For children on the school holidays, there are exciting discovery tours through the local council’s headquarters. And at the […]
At first he pretended to be interested in buying the goods – but then he simply tried to snatch them. The police have now arrested the suspected repeat offender. Harkortstraße will remain closed to traffic for longer than expected – due to reckless behaviour! And: 39 years ago today, a State Council resolution brought an […]
LZ went along to see for itself: the workers and local residents affected by the bridge construction sites on Pittlerstraße and Linkelstraße are true heroes. The work is necessary, but hard to put up with. The situation is less heroic for our smaller companions. Today, the Budde-Haus is focusing on the decline of insects – […]
Several major summer roadworks are starting today across the city; whilst these will initially cause some inconvenience, they are set to improve the traffic situation in the long term. Leipzig’s public transport operator is discontinuing a night bus route. ZiMMT e.V. is helping people who are aware of sexual violence to take action rather than […]

A guided tour […]

PhD students can apply for a job at the university library from today.

The little giraffe calf eyes its surroundings somewhat warily at Leipzig Zoo (LZ presents the best photos in a gallery). There’s also plenty to marvel at in terms of all the construction work starting today in Leipzig – which brings with it some less pleasant road closures. At the Bach Monument, the summer concerts for […]
Following the suspension of S-Bahn services due to construction work, people’s understanding is giving way to growing anger. Will the holidays bring some relief to the public transport system? For schoolchildren, the holidays begin today with discounted entry to the outdoor swimming pools. In Rosental, the popular ‘Klassik airleben’ festival gets underway, with the Gewandhaus […]
Georg-Schumann-Straße is a project that has spanned decades for the city and the LVB. In fact, this main route in north-west Leipzig should have been fully upgraded for modern tram operations long ago. Yet the plans have been repeatedly postponed due to a lack of funding, even though time is running out. In 2027, the […]
The city council discussed the ‘Bimmel’ lockdown yesterday. As the agenda was rather full, the councillors will have to return to the matter today. The state parliament is debating motions on wolf legislation. From today, a new exhibition in the town centre will shed light on the development and life of and in Grünau. And […]
The start of July brings with it a number of changes: the citizen’s income is becoming basic income support, and from today refugees no longer need a treatment voucher but will be issued with a standard health card. The City Council is holding its final session before the summer recess – and is also addressing […]
At last, all the hard work is paying off. Following the heatwave-related breakdown, Leipzig Transport (LVB) is resuming services on an initial section of the network. With immediate effect, Line 1 is operating a shuttle service, reconnecting the west of Leipzig with the city centre. The tram is running on its regular route from the […]
With the rain comes hope: LVB plans to put the first repaired sections of the tram network back into service later today. From today, the city is offering municipal land for private development; the Land Registry has corrected incorrectly measured boundaries – and today, on Augustusplatz, anyone can practise how to save lives using life-saving […]
This record-breaking heat is too much even for Leipzig’s tram service, which is no stranger to strikes. The ‘Bimmel’ – as the tram is affectionately known because of its old departure signals – will have to remain in the depots on Monday as well. According to the latest information from the LVB, the planned start […]
To make cycling safer and more appealing, Nonnenstraße in Plagwitz will be converted into a cycle route during the week starting Monday 29 June, the Department of Urban Development and Construction has announced.
