Leipzig part one
- 1. Tour through Leipzig by. Brigitte Ricardo
- 2. Intro Many people are surprised by Leipzig's beauty. Any preconceptions of a shabby, grey, socialist metropolis are swiftly forgotten upon arrival. Leipzig's city centre has been completely refurbished since German reunification. Like hardly any other city, Leipzig is home to a unique district of listed buildings from the Wilhelminian era. A major example of this particular style from the late 19th century can be experienced in the Waldstrassenviertel district. The ultimate experience for a night out is hopping from restaurant to restaurant and from pub to pub in the heart of Leipzig. The name "Drallewatsch" is an old Saxon term for going out and having a great time. Leipzig is divided administratively since 1992 into ten districts, which contain 63 subdistricts. Some of these correspond to outlying villages which were taken over by Leipzig.
