Built in 1678 on the Naschmarkt at the initiative of Leipzig’s merchants, the building served for nearly two centuries as a neutral meeting place where business deals were concluded, auctions held, and bills of exchange traded. Its restrained yet dignified architecture reflects the early Baroque style, with a symmetrical façade and decorative gables that symbolized the city’s prosperity as a European trade hub. After commercial activity moved to larger premises in the late 19th century, the Alte Börse found new life as a cultural venue. Today, its bright, wood-paneled hall with seating for around 200 people hosts concerts, readings, lectures, and festive receptions, continuing its tradition as a place of exchange—now of ideas and art rather than goods. Standing opposite the Old Town Hall and next to the Goethe monument, the Alte Börse remains a focal point of Leipzig’s historic center, embodying both the city’s mercantile heritage and its ongoing role as a stage for cultural dialogue.
Leipzig GermanyAlte Börse, Leipzig’s Old Stock Exchange, is located at Naschmarkt 2 in the city center, near the bustling Marktplatz. This historic baroque building, constructed in 1678, was a prestigious meeting place for merchants for over two centuries and today serves as a cultural venue for concerts, readings, and events. The building’s elegant façade faces an attractive square surrounded by cafes and shops, providing a lively atmosphere. Alte Börse is conveniently situated just a few minutes’ walk from Leipzig’s main train station and alongside key landmarks including the Old Town Hall, Markt square, and the Stadtgeschichtliches Museum. Public transport access is excellent, with nearby stops for trams, buses, and S-Bahn lines serving the city center. This location makes Alte Börse a central and accessible cultural landmark within Leipzig’s historic core.
