Architecture film series in Leipzig

Overview

The ‘Architecture in Film’ series, organized by the City of Leipzig and the Center for Building Culture Saxony, is hosting film screenings in Leipzig.

On August 25, 2026, the series will present the DEFA classic ‘Spur der Steine’ at UT Connewitz. The film, which depicts life at a construction site in Schkona, was only rehabilitated in 1989 due to its critical portrayal of GDR leadership. The event features a presentation by Dr. Stephanie Weismann regarding the ‘Leipzig Paving Stories’ project.

On September 22, 2026, the GRASSI Museum für Angewandte Kunst will host a screening of the documentary ‘Erich Mendelsohn – Visionen für die Ewigkeit’. Directed by Duki Dror, the film portraits the expressionist architect and his wife, Luise, through their memoirs and correspondence. The event includes a talk by photographer Louis Volkmann on architectural photography.
