Plagwitz
Plagwitz (German pronunciation: [ˈplaːkvɪts]) is a western locality of Leipzig in Saxony, Germany. It is part of the borough Südwest. The former village in Saxony, located 3 km (2 mi) west of Leipzig's city center, was granted the status of a rural municipality in 1839 and was attached to the city of Leipzig in 1891. It was an industrial district during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – the densest intra-urban industrial site in Europe – until German reunification. After deindustrialization, it developed at the turn of the millennium into a place dedicated to culture and creative industries and a popular residential area. The Leipzig-Plagwitz railway station served by S-Bahn line 1 and the former Leipzig-Plagwitz Industriebahnhof are located in the locality. One of the main thoroughfares in the district is Karl-Heine-Strasse, which crosses the Karl Heine Canal. The cultural and artistic centre in the former Leipzig cotton mill Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei is also located between the localities of Plagwitz and Lindenau.
