Messehof in Petersstrasse, Leipzig Saxony Germany
Messehof Petersstrasse Leipzig Saxony Germany Leipzig became, in 1497, the first German town to win the right back from the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I to hold a trade fair, and it was its trade-fair tradition that helped to create the city's unique system of 18th- and 19th-century arcades. These famous passage ways were built so that during the trade fairs the carts could be loaded and unloaded without having to turn them around, each of these inter-connecting walkways seems to have its own unique character.
