... a major commercial centre!

In 1497 Leipzig was granted the imperial trade fair privileges by Emperor Maximilian. Therefore Leipzig Fair is regarded the "mother of trade fairs". Leipzig's commercial development was given a boost in the 1990s due to the construction of the ultramodern Leipzig Fair Exhibition Centre with its fascinating architecture. In the inner city, visitors can stroll through arcades and passageways reminiscent of former fair activities. Owing to its rich history in trade the city is still – or once again – an attractive location for investors like Porsche, BMW and DHL. www.do-it-at-leipzig.com
