The Agra site south of Leipzig in Germany includes an exhibition center as well as a green space with a total surface area of 190 hectares (470 acres).
The combination of a natural area and an event complex originated from the concomitance of a horticultural exhibition and an agricultural fair in the early years of the German Democratic Republic.
The landscaped park includes a number of monuments distributed between meadows, gardens, bodies of water and groves.
The 190 hectares (470 acres) of land are divided into two zones: The origin of the current site, shared and co-managed between Leipzig and Markkleeberg, dates back to the 19th century.
Various fairs and exhibitions multiplied there and success was assured: the Agra events welcomed up to half a million people, including more than 10,000 foreigners from around a hundred different countries.
