Large retail corporation sells Connewitzer railway station at auction.
In the heart of Leipzig, Germany, a piece of history is set to be revitalised as Aldi plans to open a new supermarket in the former Connewitz Station. Built in 1888, the Connewitz Station was a bustling hub of activity until German reunification, when it fell into disuse. In 2008, the railway sold the plot to a plant company for 575,000 euros, but five years ago, that company went bankrupt. The exact nature of the development for the overgrown area, apart from the new supermarket, remains unknown. Despite numerous searches, information about the company planning to use the former Connewitz Station as a supermarket has yet to be disclosed. The sale of the plot was finalised in a forced auction, and Aldi has now acquired the location on Bornaische Straße in Leipzig. While a specific timeline for the construction of the new supermarket has not been provided by the company spokesperson, the news of the acquisition has been welcomed by the local community. The Connewitz Station, with its rich history, is poised for a new chapter, set to become a modern shopping destination in the vibrant city of Leipzig. The transformation of this historic site into a supermarket is a testament to the city's ongoing revitalisation and its commitment to preserving its past while embracing the future.
