Project description
There are still some vacant plots in Leipzig, but no wasteland is as large as the Karl Krause site in Leipzig's east. The old machine factory is long gone, the VEB Polygraph printing machine factory has also long since disappeared. Since then, a small forest has grown on the site, there are rubble and bushes and the typical ruderal romanticism of abandoned places.
Besides the openess of the overgrown area, there are two other attractions: The "Parkbogen Ost", a former railway line that connects the area directly to Leipzig's main railway station, now being developed into a cycle path, and a green foot and cycle path that leads wtihin ten minutes along the Lene-Voigt-Platz to the Grassi Museum and directly to the city centre, to Augustusplatz and the university.
The good accessibility, complemented by a nearby S-Bahn station, qualifies the area as a testbed for new urban mobility. Popular keywords such as 5-minute city, productive city or sponge city can play a role here, as well as completely free concepts that relate to the special atmosphere of the location.
