About Schönefeld
Where to stay in Schönefeld
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Two ends, two characters. Around Gorkistraße the old village survives in fragments, the pump on the street among them, while the listed houses of Volksgartenstraße and Löbauer Straße give the other end its long rows of protected frontages. Abtnaundorfer Park supplies the green space, and the Gontardweg sport park adds playing fields that few city districts keep.
Central Leipzig lies beyond.
About Schönefeld
What are the main landmarks in Schönefeld?
Churches come first. The Gedächtniskirche, the Lutheran Holy Cross Church and the Kirche Heilige Familie stand within the same locality, and the cemetery at Schönefeld carries its own protected monuments. Abtnaundorf Manor and its castle park hold the older estate ground, with Abtnaundorfer Park open beside them.
Street listings fill the rest: the village pump on Gorkistraße, the houses along Volksgartenstraße and Löbauer Straße, and the Gontardweg sport park.
What is the history of Schönefeld?
Two localities carry one name. Administrative practice splits Schönefeld-Ost off as a locality of its own, while the remainder joins Abtnaundorf in the locality recorded as Schönefeld-Abtnaundorf. The estate came earlier.
Abtnaundorf Manor and the castle and park attached to it hold that older ground, and a village pump on Gorkistraße still stands among the street's listed houses.
Where is Schönefeld?
Schönefeld spreads over some 6.12 square kilometres of Leipzig, in Saxony, taking in Abtnaundorf and the parkland attached to its manor.
