Crossing the locality Südvorstadt including its central square Südplatz, Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse is one of the most popular streets in Leipzig for its university, its shops, its bars and restaurants and more generally for its daytime and nighttime activities.

On 1 August 1945, under Soviet occupation, it was renamed this time by Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse in honor of the Lipsian co-founder of the Communist Party of Germany Karl Liebknecht (1871-1919), an odonym that was not challenged at the German reunification.

Due to the successive renamings in the post-war period, some people have made a playful potpourri of it: Adolf-Südknecht-Strasse.

[4] When Leipzig was fortified by ramparts, the fortifications cut off the northern end of the street, at the height of today's Riemannstrasse.

Opposite Heinrich-Schütz-Platz, a square which had been converted into a green space in 1890 by Leipzig's municipal gardener Otto Wittenberg (1834-1918), stood St. Andrew's Church, which was damaged during the Second World War and razed in 1958.

[5] While this place is already very popular throughout the year with a majority of students and tourists for its atmosphere, its many trendy bars and restaurants as well as its aesthetics, the Karli Beben attracts and brings together a large number of locals.
