LEITZ PARK EXPANSION



Today, a day before the introduction of new Leica equipment at “Das Wesentliche” by Leica Camera AG we received news about the planned expansion of Leitz Park, the Leitz Park III.  Construction is planned to begin in spring of 2016.

<p>Auf dem Gelände des ehemaligen Betriebshofs der Stadt entstehen ein Hotel, ein Hörsaalgebäude sowie eine neue Unterkunft für CW Sonderoptik und "Leica Welt". </p>

<p>Vom Verwaltungsgebäude der Leica Camera AG reicht der Blick über das Leitz-Café (rechts) zu den neuen Gebäuden im Leitz-Park III. Links befindet sich das Ernst-Leitz-Hotel, der "Rote Punkt" kennzeichnet die "Leica-Welt". Rechts entsteht das Gebäude für CW Sonderoptic. Dahinter wird sich das neue THM-Hörsaalgebäude befinden.

Planned are four new buildings, a 4+ star hotel, the Ernst Leitz Hotel. “Leica Welt” (Leica World), will house the Leica museum, the Leica archives, the Leica Academie and a Leica outlet store.  A new building for CW Sonderoptic, the manufacturer of the Leica C lenses is planned, and finally a lecture hall of THM, the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (Technical College of Middle Hesse).  This will also include the seat for optical technologies. The estimated cost is approximately 50 million euros.  Leitz Park III will be across the street from the current Leitz Park.


After the completion of Leitz Park III, it is planned to begin with a further expansion, Leitz Park IV.
