On an area of ​​around 22,300 square meters in the basement (referred to as the "Basement" by the operators of the Höfe am Brühl), the ground floor and first floor, the Höfe am Brühl offer a retail area of ​​around 45,000 square meters with 130 shops. There are 820 parking spaces on the second and third floors. 31 apartments were built on the fourth floor of the building.

In the run-up to construction, the former consumer goods store, known locally as the tin box , was demolished. At the same place, a new building with the characteristic, listed aluminum façade was built, which, like the other parts of the building, houses commercial areas on the basement, ground floor and two upper floors, and parking spaces on two floors above .

history

The grounds of today's Höfe am Brühl between Richard-Wagner Platz (front) and Am Hallischen Tor (back) in 1969

The building was built from 2010 to 2012 under the supervision of mfi management für immobilien AG .

In the place of the Höfe am Brühl there was previously the empty “tin box” on Richard-Wagner-Platz and, behind it, up to Am Hallischen Tor, three ten-story apartment blocks with single-storey connecting buildings built in 1966. In 2006, the Leipzig artist Michael Fischer-Art painted 13,000 square meters of tarpaulin with portraits of what he believed to be the most important people in Leipzig. The residential buildings were demolished in autumn 2007. The gutting and demolition of the tin can began on February 8, 2010.

The foundation stone for the Höfe am Brühl was laid on December 9, 2010. The topping-out ceremony was held on December 8, 2011 . The building complex opened on September 25, 2012.

Name and concept

Before the destruction in World War II, there were trading houses on the Brühl, which were connected to the corresponding houses in Richard-Wagner-Straße via one or more courtyards. Inner courtyards with historical references were also created in the new building; the name Höfe am Brühl for the shopping center is derived from this fact .

The art-historical concept, which the art scholar Wolfgang Hocquél was involved in developing , takes up the history of the most famous buildings at the old Brühl and integrates them into the new building in the form of showcases in ten stairwells and prints on the glass facades. There are four courtyards and different alleys that connect the courtyards with each other.

Richard Wagner's birthplace

Houses Brühl 1 and 3 stood on the site of the extension of the Brühl department store built in 1914. House no. 3 had taken over the additional name Wagnerhaus from its predecessor, the Red and White Lion, which was demolished in 1886 . Richard Wagner was born in this house on May 22, 1813 . At roughly the same point, the picture of the former house is attached as a grid of points on a glass surface of the new building.

Drey-Schwanen-Hof

Haus Brühl 7 Zu den drey (white) swans was an inn, which was already called the white swan in 1578 . The term to the three swans became common in the 17th century. The Great Concert took place in this building from 1743 to 1778 .

Schönkopfscher Hof / Goethehof

The house at Brühl 19 was owned by the Schönkopf family from 1716 to 1754. Christian Gottlieb Schönkopf, the father of Anna Katharina Schönkopf , ran an inn there after 1754, where Johann Wolfgang Goethe ate his lunch as a student. In 1926 the Schönkopf house was merged with the neighboring house No. 17. In the planning phase, the Schönkopfsche Hof was called the Goethehof.

Plauenscher Hof

The name Plauenscher Hof was granted to the old Gasthof Brühl 23, in whose exhibition rooms mainly merchants from Plauen lived . The property was connected to the house at Richard-Wagner-Straße 15. With the pedestrian area between Brühl and Richard-Wagner-Straße, the historical connection to the former Plauen court was restored. It was given the name Plauensche Straße, which it had already carried until it was destroyed in World War II.

Lattermann's yard

The house at Brühl 27, which was connected to Richard-Wagner-Straße 13, was owned by Franz Lattermann and his heirs from 1814 to 1883.

The newly built Lattermanns Hof as part of the Höfe am Brühl was devoted to the themes of fashion and lifestyle . The businesses located here also come from these industries.

criticism

Although the inner-city shopping center is intended to attract new customer flows to the city, retailers in the city center fear a further redistribution of purchasing power and tougher competition to their disadvantage. The low purchasing power in Leipzig compared to other East German cities such as Dresden, Erfurt, Jena, Potsdam or Rostock also plays a role.
