The Apostelhaus, built in 1740 at 20 Apostelstrasse in Leipzig, is the last of originally 12 servants' houses - popularly known as "the Twelve Apostles " - for workers from the former manor farm in the village of Lindenau , which was incorporated into Leipzig in 1891. The single-storey building with a mansard roof is the oldest building and the last evidence of suburban rural construction in Lindenau before 1800. It is located in the area of ​​the western retreat area of ​​the Napoleonic army in October 1813 and is therefore still a direct witness of the Battle of the Nations . It is currently threatened with demolition.
