History
In July 1928 the building plans have been changed to a more simple construction. The construction works probably began in 1928. The shell was completed in early November 1929 and most of the rooms were used from 1 January 1930.
Several high-rise buildings have been planned around the Leipzig Inner City Circle since the late 1920s.
Today, the building is used for offices of the company "Leipziger Stadtwerke".
