New Stock Exchange (Leipzig)
The New Stock Exchange in Leipzig , Tröndlinring 2, was an exchange and administration building built between 1884 and 1886 for the Leipzig Chamber of Commerce in the neo-renaissance style .
The building was designed by Leipzig architects Hans Enger and Karl Weichardt (1846–1906) as a replacement for the old trading exchange on Naschmarkt . In 1911, according to plans by the architects August Hermann Schmidt (1858–1942) and Arthur Johlige (1857–1937), it was considerably modified by adding a floor with a protruding, flat sloping roof . There was a restaurant in the basement of the house and a large hall on the second floor.
The structure was almost completely destroyed in 1943 by the Allied air raid on December 4, 1943 . Around 40 percent of the house's 100,000-volume library was lost. After 1945, beer was only served in the cellar. The ruin was demolished in 1958.
A hotel was built on the site of the former New Stock Exchange and opened at the end of April 2013.
