Augustusplatz
Augustusplatz is the hub of the city center. The majority of streetcars run in all directions from here. It was named after the first King of Saxony, Friedrich August. Around 40,000 square meters of buildings from various decades of the 20th century are gathered here. These include the Leipzig Opera House, the Gewandhaus zu Leipzig and the Augusteum and Paulinum of Leipzig University. In addition to the main university building, the City-Hochhaus is the second tallest building in the new federal states.
