Narrow streets, hidden courtyards, magnificent passages - this is Leipzig's old town. The first passages and courtyards existed around the market square as early as the Middle Ages. Leipzig was the venue for the goods fairs: traders from all over Europe came to the city twice a year. With the start of the sample fairs at the end of the 19th century, the first exhibition halls were built. The commercial goods were no longer sold, but were issued as samples. In a short time, magnificent trade fair palaces with elegant passages were built.
