Outside Leipzig city centre, within a belt 0.5–1 km wide, there used to be a great deal of greenery. These were almost always vine trellises – you can find examples on this page! From around 1900 onwards, the area around the ‘City’ became very densely built-up; the sunlight so essential for grapevines disappeared, and unfortunately, none of the trellises remain to be seen today. Please note the source references beneath many of the images.
In Leipzig, the term “Ring” usually refers only to the very wide road encircling the city centre. Here, on this page, however, it refers to the entire “Mitte district” (shown in red), excluding the city centre, which is considered separately. The view here proceeds clockwise from east to north.
The “Mitte district” thus encompasses roughly all the fields and lands outside the city walls, right up to the boundaries of the surrounding villages. These villages, which were incorporated into the city long ago, are then considered separately.
