Literaturhaus Leipzig in the House of Books
Consisting of a comb building open to the south, a seven-storey tower and an old part of the building, the ensemble is connected by a glazed cube. Two atriums are concealed behind the glazing in the direction of Prager Strasse, one of which houses the metal installation "Letter Field". On Gerichtsweg, in front of the building complex, you will find a column of letters bearing the names of former Leipzig publishers.
