About Sellerhausen
Where to stay in Sellerhausen
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The viaduct is the marker. Streets run out from it towards Wurzner Straße and Eisenbahnstraße, where the tenement rows carry most of the addresses, while Riesaer Straße and Ostheimstraße hold quieter listed houses. Anyone staying here trades the centre of Leipzig for a plainer district, with the Emmauskirche and the cemetery at Sellerhausen as the nearest things to sights.
The Bahnhofsgebäude Leipzig-Schönefeld stands close by.
About Sellerhausen
What are the main landmarks in Sellerhausen?
Three churches, one viaduct. The Emmauskirche, the Trinity Church and the Genezarethkirche are the churches recorded with the locality, and the cemetery at Sellerhausen carries individual monuments along with its village pumps. Railway building accounts for two entries: the Viadukt Sellerhausen and the Bahnhofsgebäude Leipzig-Schönefeld.
The Leipzig Nazi forced labour memorial is listed here as well, and the Grabstein für Major von Oertzen stands among the cemetery's marked graves.
What is the history of Sellerhausen?
The record here is uneven. A memorial listed as the Leipzig Nazi forced labour memorial records the use of forced labour under National Socialism, and it sits in the same register as the village pumps kept at the cemetery. Older graves survive as well, among them the Grabstein für Major von Oertzen.
Street names carry their own layer: Elisabeth-Schumacher-Straße with its listed Ölkeller, Theodor-Neubauer-Straße with its Mietvilla, and Karl-Vogel-Straße with a pair of protected houses.
