Strohsackpassage (Nikolaistraße / Ritterstraße)
In the heart of the old town, you can stroll through the stores and admire the unusual architecture. Mushroom-shaped metal columns that rise strikingly into the air - they are the hallmark of the Strohsackpassage. Since the new commercial building with passage was opened in 1997, restaurants, stores, a walk-in clock and the Lancaster University Leipzig - the first campus of a British university in Germany - have been united under one roof. The passage owes its name Strohsack to the town house at Ritterstraße 7, which was integrated into the commercial building complex.
In the middle is a 13-metre-high atrium, which is enhanced by numerous sculptures.
A special feature is Europe's largest floor clock, whose hands depict a male and a female figure. It is fully functional and accessible.
