Markkleeberger See

Kanupark Markkleeberg, built in 2006, is the second of two artificial whitewater canoe/kayak slalom courses in Germany, and the only one powered by pumps. The other German course is the Eiskanal in Augsburg, used in the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich. Kanupark Markkleeberg is located on the southeast shore of Markkleeberger See, a lake south of Markkleeberg, a suburb on the south side of Leipzig. A former open-pit coal mine, the lake was flooded in 1999 with groundwater and developed as a water recreation area. The lake is part of the Leipziger Neuseenland, the largest landscape construction project in Europe, which is reclaiming formerly barren industrial and mining sites for recreational use. The whitewater park was planned as part of Leipzig's bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, which were ultimately awarded to London. It was completed in time to serve as a training facility for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With movable plastic bollards serving as water diversion features, it was possible to rig the competition course to be a close duplicate of the one at Beijing's Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park. Since formally opening in April 2007, the state-of-the-art Kanupark has hosted a full schedule of regional and international competitions. In 2010 it hosted the Junior and Under-23 European Championships.Kanupark Markkleeberg has two courses which loop in opposite directions from the pump house. Each loop has its own conveyor-belt boat lift. The north loop is a training course 130 meters (430 feet) long, with a 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) drop, a 1.4% slope of 13.8 m/km (73 ft/mile), and a streamflow of 4 to 14 m³/s (141 to 494 ft³/s). The south loop is the competition course with a length of 270 meters (890 feet), a 5.2 meters (17 feet) drop, and a 2.1% slope of 21.1 m/km (111 ft/mile). With a streamflow of 4 to 18 m³/s (141 to 636 ft³/s), it generates class III-IV whitewater.

The Agra site south of Leipzig in Germany includes an exhibition center as well as a green space with a total surface area of 190 hectares (470 acres). The combination of a natural area and an event complex originated from the concomitance of a horticultural exhibition and an agricultural fair in the early years of the German Democratic Republic. The GDR agricultural fair named Agra gave its name to the site. With a covered exhibition area of 13,000 square metres (140,000 square feet), a car park with 250 spaces and an annual attendance of 750,000 visitors, it is the second largest event complex in Leipzig after the Leipzig fairgrounds of the Leipzig Trade Fair in the north of the city. The landscaped park includes a number of monuments distributed between meadows, gardens, bodies of water and groves. The park includes museums, for example, the Deutsches Fotomuseum (German Photo Museum), the Dölitz gatehouse and the watermill on the Mühlpleiße river. The site is intended for different types of fairs, exhibitions as well as festivals. It notably hosts the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, one of the largest Gothic festivals in the world, the medieval festival named Mittelalterlich Phantasie Spectaculum, the Tattoo & Lifestyle exhibition as well as the Fest der 25.000 Lichter (Festival of 25,000 lights), where the public comes equipped with lanterns, candles or any other sources of light. Every year in October, a historical reenactment of the battle of Leipzig takes place.

The Rundling, also called "Nibelungensiedlung", is a circular housing estate in the southern part of Leipzig in the Lößnig neighborhood. At a time of great housing shortage, the housing complex was built in 1929/30 by the Leipzig architect and city planning officer Hubert Ritter. Ritter built 24 houses in a row construction on a flat hill on what was then the outskirts of the city, arranged in the form of three concentric rings. The outer ring has a diameter of 300 meters (985 ft.). Ritter emphasized the hilltop location by designing the inner ring to have four floors instead of three. Two main axes perpendicular to each other and some side entrances open up the area for traffic. The western entrance is emphasized by two front buildings with neighborhood shops on the ground floor areas. The houses in the two outer rings are accessed from the circular Nibelungenring between them, while those in the inner ring are accessed from the central Siegfriedplatz. The buildings were designed in the New Objectivity style. According to the architectural historian Winfried Nerdinger, the Rundling is a "symbol of the ideals of the Neues Bauen style of the Weimar Republic". 624 apartments were created with eleven differently tailored floor plans of different sizes and always designed with the aspect of optimal lighting conditions in mind, for example no living rooms facing north. The Siegfriedplatz in the center of the complex, planned by the city garden director Nikolaus Molzen (1881–1954), contained a large paddling pool for the children of the settlement.The Rundling suffered heavy damage during World War II. The paddling pool was gutted after the war and initially used for gardening, then a bed area was created and the pool was abandoned. In 1965/66 the buildings were partially rebuilt. During the comprehensive renovation of the listed complex from 1993 until 1997, five blocks destroyed in the war were rebuilt. The Leipziger Wohnungs- und Baugesellschaft, the municipal real estate company of the city of Leipzig, was awarded the Deutscher Bauherrenpreis for this redevelopment.
