"The Spinnerei is a huge creative complex founded on the site of the former cotton mill, including more than 100 artists' studios, a potters' workshop, print studios, galleries, a cinema, an arts supply store, a Café/Restaurant, and much more. The historical industrial site was founded in 1884 and employed as many as 4000 workers at its height. Always worth a visit, you can book a tour or join in one of the seasonal “Rundgang” open houses." - Tali Bayer
"Essentially a small, self-contained village, die Spinnerei is a planned arts community that sits on the site of what was once the largest cotton mill in continental Europe."
"In the early 1900s, the Spinnerei was Europe’s largest cotton-spinning mill. Today, the 750,000-square-foot space is the epicenter of Leipzig’s artistic renaissance, housing 14 galleries, more than 100 artists’ studios (including that of famed German artist Neo Rauch), and a host of rotating exhibitions. It’s all contemporary art, all the time here, from paintings and photography to sculpture to video, with a range of German and international artists featured. The Leipzig-based Galerie EIGEN + ART, which also has an outpost in Berlin, is one of the more well-known galleries here, and always worth a look." - Liz Humphreys
