Walking through Leipzig’s East you will delve into the most multicultural area in town. International groceries lie right next to tattoo studios and shisha bars at buzzing Eisenbahnstraße while illegal bars and independent art spaces are hidden in the side streets. Some of these semi-official spaces are hard to find unless you find a young local that helps you to find your way. Even though the charm of Leipzig’s East might sometimes need a second sight you will quickly discover the hidden treasures of this diverse neighbourhood.

Helmut is a non-profit initiative for art and political education. The club house that serves as a bar, gallery and project space is run mostly by students but is open to the broader public. Every second Friday there are exhibitions while the bar opens every Wednesday. From time to time Helmut also hosts flea markets, concerts, movie nights or communal dinners where it is easy to mingle with locals.
