Goerdelerring

The street has three lanes for car traffic in each direction and two tracks for tramways in the middle which are also used by night busses.

The first tramway tracks on the street that is now Goerdelerring have been laid in 1872 as part of the original horse tram network of the city of Leipzig.

The most important one is the prior main firehouse,[1] now Rescue station Mitte, the extensive refurbishment of which was completed in 2022.

(Cost: 30.6 million euros)[2] On the eastern side there is a small green area, as part of the green promenades ring, with the Richard Wagner Memorial and the school museum, on the western side the parking area of the firehouse and the Leipzig chamber of industry and commerce are situated.

The theater, large enough for 1200 spectators, stood here in the midst of greenery from 1766 to 1943 and was destroyed during the Allied air raids on Leipzig.

(Fleischer means butcher)[8] According to Leonhardi, there was also a Pentecost pasture in front of the Ranstädt Town Gate in the area of today's Goerdelerring, where the Leipzig rifle club "used to hold a large annual bird shooter with crossbows, which, however, for the benefit of many residents, has not been held for several years.

[10] From 1973 to 2004, the pedestrian bridge called Blaues Wunder (blue wonder) crossed the Goerdelerring / Tröndlinring intersection.
