Halle and Leipzig: New ways of cooperation after a visit!
Leipzig, Deutschland - On June 16, 2025, the cities of Halle (Saale) and Leipzig took an important step towards closer cooperation. Halles Mayor Dr. At their latest meeting, Alexander Vogt and his Leipzig colleague Burkhard Jung emphasized that the two cities not only want to intensify their contacts, but also want to expand them at an economic and cultural level. This is particularly important for the positive development of Halles, which Leipzig appreciates as a "sister city".
The cultural connection between Halle and Leipzig is currently mainly limited to the common museum night. Dr. Vogt classifies this as too little and demands a variety of other cultural projects that go beyond the previous offer. Common festivals, exhibitions or theater projects are conceivable that the two cities could weld even more closely together.
use economic potential
Both cities and the associated counties, Leipzig and Saalekreis, offer great potential, especially in the economic sector. Together they come to around 1.3 million inhabitants and thus form the largest metropolitan area in East Germany to Berlin. The central question remains: How can you promote the settlement of new businesses? Here both mayors see many opportunities to explore.
A first step in this direction is a joint conference of departure, which should take place after the summer break. This conference is seen as an important forum for the exchange at the administrative level and is intended to set the course for future collaborations. In addition, a second visit by Dr. Vogt in Leipzig has been agreed to coordinate the next steps and work out further details.
a sign of cohesion

This willingness to dialogue has contributed to the positive development of Leipzig since 2006. Halle and Leipzig are on a common path to set a signal for cohesion and strategic partnership in Central Germany.
