Leipzig is located within easy reach (about 150km) of the federal capital of Berlin between Halle on the Saale (Saxony-Anhalt) and Dresden.

Property market

The city of Leipzig has become increasingly attractive in recent years. The property market in Leipzig was quiet in the 2000s and 2010s, as the city had negative net migration. This trend has reversed in the meantime, resulting in more pressure, especially on the housing market.

Leipzig as a business location

Several federal autobahns run through or adjacent to Leipzig, making the location attractive for business and industry. Schkeuditz Airport is of great importance for European freight traffic. DHL processes the bulk of its air freight from there.

Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk broadcasting service (MDR) is one of the largest employers in the region. Leipzig also has a large start-up community of artists and creatives, meaning the city is especially important for media professionals.
