About Stötteritz
Where to stay in Stötteritz
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Two poles organise a stay. The Marienkirche Leipzig-Stötteritz and the Platzanlage laid out around it hold the older core, while the Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the Napoleonstein sit among the memorial ground counted with the district. Between them run the Sternsiedlung housing and the tenement blocks of Holzhäuser Straße, quieter addresses for anyone who wants Leipzig within reach but not underfoot.
Anyone here for the Mitspielzeugmuseum has it in the same district.
About Stötteritz
What are the main landmarks in Stötteritz?
The list is long for a district this size. The Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the Napoleonstein are counted among Stötteritz's landmarks, and so are the Marienkirche Leipzig-Stötteritz, the Alte Erlöserkirche and the Kirche Marienbrunn. Two cemeteries follow.
The Ostfriedhof and the cemetery at Stötteritz both carry protected individual monuments, while the Königin-Luise-Haus, the Trier-Denkmal, the Wasserturm Leipzig-Probstheida and the Mitspielzeugmuseum fill out the rest.
What is the history of Stötteritz?
Battlefield memory comes first. The Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the Napoleonstein both commemorate the fighting that took its name from the nations drawn into it, and both are counted with Stötteritz. The Marienkirche Leipzig-Stötteritz anchors the square that monument protection lists as the Platzanlage um die Marienkirche.
Smaller listings hold the rest, among them the Gärtnerwohnhaus Prager Straße 212a and the Sternsiedlung, protected as a whole layout rather than as single blocks.
Where is Stötteritz?
Stötteritz takes in about 3.68 square kilometres of Leipzig, in Saxony, ground shared between the Ostfriedhof, the Sternsiedlung and older village streets.
