In the east of the city lies the trendy district of Volkmarsdorf. More and more people are drawn to the neighborhood on Torgauer Platz. Students, young families as well as couples appreciate the open, multicultural atmosphere. The streetscape is varied: renovated old buildings and modern new apartments can be found here in equal measure. The nearby Mariannenpark offers residents plenty of space for recreation in the fresh air. Not far away is the newly designed, almost two-hectare green space 'Ritzschke-Aue'. Those who live in Volkmarsdorf never have far to go: in the district, all supermarkets, restaurants, daycare centers and schools are within walking distance. The new building of the neighborhood school in Ihmelsstraße is the most extensive and innovative educational construction project in Leipzig. Thanks to the good transport connections by bus and streetcar, the city center is only a few minutes away.
