wunderbar Plagwitz is a venue for meetings, workshops and events at Gießerstraße 18 in the Plagwitz district of Leipzig. It offers six rooms for 2 to 60 people, from a one-to-one conversation to a presentation for a larger group. The team provides the rooms and the technology, and on request organizes the entire event.
Seminars and company events
The Open Space is the main room for plenary sessions. It measures 85 m² and takes up to 60 people in cinema seating for talks, panels, readings and town halls. For interactive trainings it works for about 30 participants, and for team workshops of 4 to 12 people. The site suggests combining it with the smaller rooms: the Open Space serves as the shared start and end room, and Karl, Maximilian and Bertha can be added by the hour for working phases. This gives a workable structure for trainings with breakout groups, community days with parallel sessions and company workshops.
Rooms and capacities
Each room is named after a person from Leipzig who shaped the city through enterprise. Bertha, 26 m², takes up to 12 people and has a digital and an analog whiteboard, which suits creative workshops and coaching. Karl, 18 m², takes up to 9 people and has a 65-inch monitor, conference technology and a flipchart, for small groups and hybrid meetings. Maximilian, 16 m², takes up to 5 people with a 55-inch monitor, conference technology and a flipchart. Karl-Maximilian, 34 m², joins the two rooms for up to 15 people and has a digital whiteboard. Julius, 8 m², is a small closed room for one or two people. The Open Space comes with a projector and screen, pin boards, whiteboards and flipcharts, and the seating can be a circle, a U shape, islands or a stage.
Weddings and receptions
The official site presents the venue for meetings, workshops and events and does not offer weddings. Social events such as community days and public talks are part of the program, and the site keeps an event calendar.
Catering
The site does not describe catering in detail. It says the team can organize your complete event on request, so ask what food and drink arrangements it can arrange for your group.
History and setting
The walls of wunderbar are historic and stand in Plagwitz, the industrial quarter where the Sächsische Wollgarnfabrik once wrote history, where Mey & Edlich founded the first German mail-order house and where Karl Heine shaped social urban development. The room names follow this heritage: Bertha Wehnert-Beckmann, who founded one of the first photo studios run by a woman in Leipzig, Karl Heine, Maximilian Speck von Sternburg and Julius Blüthner, the piano maker.
Getting there
The address is Gießerstraße 18, 04229 Leipzig. The venue is in Plagwitz, in the west of the city. The site does not list train or tram connections, so ask the team for directions and parking details when you book.
