history

The Hainspitze marks the point where the long-distance trade routes Via Regia and Via Imperii crossed in the early days of the city , until around 1100 the latter was relocated from Hainstraße to Reichsstraße . From around the early modern period , the houses at the end of Hainstrasse were named Goldener Elefant (an inn), Bärmanns Hof , Kleiner Pelikan and Zur golden Gans (also an inn); the first two extended to Grosse Fleischergasse. In 1837, instead of the Golden Goose and the Zum Schwarzen Bären inn (on the corner of Grosse Fleischergasse), a textile trading house was built and named Grosse Cloth Hall by its owners , now at Brühl 2. The architect was Eduard Pötzsch (1803–1889).

  • The Great Cloth Hall in 1844

  • Hainspitze area 1951

  • Hainspitze with low building in 1977

  • Low rise before demolition in 2012

  • Archaeological excavation 2012

The entire area was totally destroyed in the Second World War . Before 1951, a small round sales pavilion was opened at the very top. It was followed in the 1960s by a low-rise building with a curved main front that was attached to the existing building with a textile and stationery shop. At the beginning of the 1990s, the land belonged to the property in Leipzig owned by the building contractor Jürgen Schneider . After the demolition of the under listed building standing object in early 2012 took place from April to November 2012 extensive archaeological excavations at the site with knowledge of the becoming a city of Leipzig and the Middle Ages and the modern era of the site before by delays in 2014 construction began. The house was opened on April 7, 2016.
