Tips from the Community

April 12, 2026, Sellerhausen Viaduct

Meanwhile, April 2026, the first trees have been planted. Until 2012, trains ran on the viaduct from the main station towards Stötteritz, Gaschwitz, Altenburg, Zwickau, and Hof. The former Sellerhausen stop was directly adjacent to a factory site that was completely demolished in the 90s.

The Stötteritz Town Hall is a striking historical building in the Leipzig district of Stötteritz, which is today primarily significant for its architecture and its role in the district's history.

Attention, this section is still under construction. We can only drive underneath and alongside it, but the stairs and stairways are already finished.
