Guided Story
Imagine walking through Leipzig in the year 1850. Right here, where you are standing, was one of the first places in the city to be adorned with greenery. Take a look around and breathe in the fresh air rustling through the trees. Close your eyes for a moment and you might almost hear the clatter of horse-drawn carriages passing by. The benches invite you to sit down for a while and leave the hustle and bustle behind. In spring, you can see crocuses and daffodils turning the square into a sea of colors. And if you’re here in autumn, listen to the leaves crunching underfoot. Enjoy the tranquility and the living history of this place.
