Small Joachimsthal
The Kleine Joachimsthal in Leipzig is a connecting corridor (sometimes also called a passage) from Kleine Fleischergasse 8 to Hainstraße 5/7. The access house on Kleine Fleischergasse is sometimes referred to as Kleines Joachimsthal. The entrance on Hainstrasse is labeled Vetters Hof . The house at Kleine Fleischergasse 8 is a listed building.

The Kleine Joachimsthal begins on the Kleine Fleischergasse at a jewelry portal made of Rochlitz porphyry under the inscription "Passage Kl. Joachimsthal".

Look back through the first atrium
It initially runs straight through a small atrium into a second larger one, from which a restaurant and a hostel can be reached. Both courtyards have glass roofs.
From the second atrium, a corridor leads around the restaurant and then turns at right angles towards Hainstrasse. Hainstrasse is reached via two open atriums through a new building with a glass facade. "Vetters Hof" stands above this entrance.
The retail shops typical for passages are not to be found along the entire length of the Kleiner Joachimsthal.
history
The historical beginning of the Kleiner Joachimsthal was in the Hainstrasse No. 5, the current southern old part of the address Hainstrasse 5/7. Diagonally opposite (now Hainstrasse 10), the merchant Martin Bauer owned a house in the second half of the 16th century in which he sold silver from his silver mines in Sankt Joachimsthal in Bohemia and for which the name “the Joachimsthal” became naturalized. When, at the beginning of the 17th century, farmer's son Hans bought a house diagonally across the street, also for the silver trade, large and small Joachimsthal were introduced to distinguish between them. The Große Joachimsthal has kept its line to this day, Hainstraße 5 became the Kleine Joachimsthal.

In the long courtyard of the Kleiner Joachimsthal, after the silver trade, mainly cloth trade was carried out, and there was a restaurant facing the street. Friedrich Schiller lived in one of the courtyard buildings several times during his stays in Leipzig. Medallions from him and his wife at house number 5 are still a reminder today.
In 1706, under Johann Christoph Richter, Hainstrasse 5, which he had inherited, came into ownership union with Kleine Fleischergasse 8, which made it possible for the first time to pass from Hainstrasse to Kleine Fleischergasse.
From 1805 to 1815 the entire property belonged to the banker Christian Gottlob Vetter and was called Vetters Hof during that time. The name has been kept to this day, like at the entrance to the Kleiner Joachimsthal in Hainstrasse.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the two head buildings of the Kleiner Joachimsthal were renewed. 1903–1905 today's building, Kleine Fleischergasse 8, was built using old building fabric in neo-baroque shapes with porphyry tufa structures and a rich gable . 1905–1907 followed the Hainstrasse 5 with a representative facade with sandstone cladding, a copper-clad bay window and a segmented arched gable.
Hainstrasse 5 and 7 were destroyed in the Second World War, so that passage to Hainstrasse was no longer possible. In 1996/1997 a new building with a reconstruction of the original facade of No. 5 was built, but no passage was planned. In 2012, the Kleine Fleischergasse 8 complex was renovated and a restaurant and hostel opened, for which a second escape route was necessary. The passage to Hainstraße was re-established, now opening out at the northern end of the property Hainstraße 5/7.
