: market) is a square of about 1 ha (2.5 acres) in Leipzig's district of Mitte (neighborhood Zentrum), Germany.

The Markt is an almost rectangular square, about 140 m (459.3 ft) long, with its larger extension running almost exactly from north to south.

The coat of arms of Leipzig is inlaid in colored stones in the central diamond at the level of the town hall tower.

Cobbled driveways named Markt run along the sides of the square which is a pedestrian zone.

In front of the escalator part, the southern access leads from the square level first via the restored staircase of the former underground exhibition hall clad with Rochlitz porphyry.

[1] On the north side of the market, the escalators reach square level and there is a passenger elevator.

The first market square of the Slavic settlement Lipsk was further north, at the intersection of the Via Regia and the Via Imperii, in the area of what is now Richard-Wagner-Platz.

[2][3] After Leipzig was incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire, the market was moved to its current location.

The last execution took place in the city in 1824, striking Johann Christian Woyzeck who had stabbed his mistress out of jealousy.

A second connection, coming from Katharinenstrasse, ran directly along the town hall on a single track, most recently with lines 1 and 21.
