cafe with the best view in Germany

Our trains are actually really good, punctual and well used, despite many complaints.
And this is the best seat in the train, excellent view, sensible choice of food and drink and usually plenty of seats.

news from all over the world

At the station the international press is just that. On the other side of the stand the papers are mostly Russian and other east European.

city farm

On a plot that has been vacant for many years we have a small farm. Geese, hens and some other poultry and lots of rabbits who were hiding in their warren when I took the photo.

from the top of the tower

No, I did'nt take this photo. It's part of a display in the foyer of the Wintergartenhaus about the building and later renovation of the tower with the MM on top.

Gondwanaland

I have been watching the stell skeleton of this roof being built over the months and now all the major parts are there.
The name refers to the original continent that later split into Asia, Africa and South America.
The building will be home to a huge (2.7 hectare) display of tropical animals and plants in as natural environment as is possible in Northern Europe.
An animation can be seen here, in German but the film is not bad. http://www.zoo-leipzig.de/film/film.php?type=imagefilm_hq&size=720&fullscreen=yes
