LOCATION: Schrödter Lounge in Leipzig

 

Unique flair in the Schrödterhaus: the exclusive lounge overlooking Leipzig

The historic Schrödterhaus was built in 1912-1913 in the Art Nouveau style as a trading house for the textile merchant Georg Heinrich Schrödter. Following extensive renovation in 1995, the building is now a modern office and commercial building with an attractive new extension.

The Schrödterhaus impressively combines historical elegance with modern comfort, making it one of the city's architectural highlights. The absolute highlight of the building is located on the seventh floor: an extraordinary lounge with a spacious roof terrace opens up a spectacular panoramic view over Leipzig.

This special location is available as a stylish event and conference room and offers a unique ambience for exclusive events. Tenants of the Schrödterhaus are the main beneficiaries of this unique opportunity to host their events high above the rooftops of the city.

Experience THE ANSWER. ONLY 42 WILL KNOW in an atmosphere that inspires and delights - exclusively at the Schrödterhaus.
