Hypezig. A name that brings back memories from the 90s. After that, there was more than a decade of stagnation, migration, and decline. Today, I was back in Leipzig, and I must say, you can feel a resurgence. Some say it’s a bit too left-leaning. However, you don’t have to hang out in Connewitz. It felt like a bustling metropolis in the city during the week. There was a wild hustle and bustle, crowded streets, construction sites everywhere, thousands of tourists, and full tour buses for city sightseeing. For many families, it’s the best big city in Germany, thanks to its large area, which offers much more space compared to Frankfurt or Munich. In the south, there’s a new lake landscape that serves as a unique, vast natural swimming area with sandy beaches and plenty of space; there are half a dozen large beaches at 4-5 different lakes to choose from. Some are even reachable by bike, bus, and tram directly from the city in just 20 minutes. The economy feels better than elsewhere: European Energy Exchange HQ, BMW, Amazon, and after Frankfurt, it has the largest cargo airport in the country with the DHL European hub. There’s a rich cultural scene with connections to Napoleon, Wagner, and Bach. For history enthusiasts, this is a German city steeped in significant historical events. It boasts one of the oldest universities in the world and was once a global trading center for fur alongside London. Before the war, it was Germany's center for printing, mechanical engineering, and the textile industry. The first daily newspaper in the world originated from Leipzig. The train station is a cathedral, the largest in Europe, even more beautiful than Grand Central in New York. All other major German train stations pale in comparison. The city was once a different caliber; 40 years of dreadful socialism have left scars, but slowly the city is bouncing back, and I didn’t sense any of the typical German gloom today. Leipzig is now again larger than Stuttgart, and with its vast area, it may regain its pre-war size in 10 years. (It’s as large as Munich by area but has only a third of the population.) If I had to bet on a German big city, it would definitely be Leipzig. Conclusion: Property investment in the green southeast will definitely hold up after the doubts of the last two years.
