In the Brühl-Arkade (2011)

The Brühl-Arkade , also Brühl-Arkaden , in Leipzig is a shopping arcade through the building complex of the Marriott Hotel between the Brühl and Richard-Wagner-Straße.

description

The southern entrance is at Brühl No. 33. The entrance area is accentuated by a three-storey balcony oriel above it and a massive dormer with a protruding roof. The 86-meter-long and average 5.5-meter-wide passage alternates between flat parts and two two-story glazed sections. It contains over 15 retail and service facilities. In the Brühl-Arkade there is also the studio of the Leipzig artist Michael Fischer-Art , whose works, especially in public spaces, have a high recognition value due to rich colors, large surfaces and simple structures. There are also pictures of him in the Brühl-Arkade. The eastern outer wall bordering the Brühl-Arkade is completely covered with his figures. The northern exit of the passage is on the left side of Richard-Wagner-Straße 9.

history

Mrs. Henriette Therese Schwabe bought the two inns Zum güldenen Beil and Zum schwarzen Kreuz am Brühl in 1845 and had a new building built, which from 1850 was called Schwabes Hof . Zum Schwarzen Kreuz had a connection to the Zum güldenen Rade house on Richard-Wagner-Strasse, which made Schwabe's courtyard a through courtyard that was primarily used for the fur trade. In World War II Schwabe's farm was destroyed.

In 1998 the building complex of the Leipzig Marriott Hotel between Brühl, Richard-Wagner-Straße and Am Hallischen Tor was completed with a recess in the northwest corner according to plans by the Hanoverian planning group Wittstock und Partner. The Brühl-Arkade is integrated into the eastern part. It takes up the traditional shape of the Leipzig shopping malls.
