King Albert House (Market / Barefoot Lane)

Pedestrian zone
Retail
The passage of the König-Albert-Haus connects the market and the Barfußgäßchen via two inner courtyards.
The building and passageway were built in 1913 according to designs by architect Emil Franz Hänsel. Inside the building, two courtyards are connected by flat corridors. The architecture of the building incorporates numerous elements of Art Deco as well as elements of Art Nouveau and Classicism. The ground floor and mezzanine floor are clad in glazed ceramics, giving the building its unique appearance.

The first floor area is home to a variety of eateries which, together with the surrounding bars and restaurants, are known as the "Drallewatsch" pub mile. Furthermore, the Central Kabarett Leipzig has been based in the König-Albert-Haus since 2009.
