Klärwerk Rosental

Whenever I walk through the Rosental park and use the stairs at the Wackelturm (a small, rocking tower) for exercise, my gaze automatically wanders in a certain direction. Partly because of the view over the greenery, and partly because my perception is drawn to where smells are present. From above, the Rosental wastewater treatment plant is clearly visible. It's not visually intrusive, yet its work keeps you constantly aware of it. Especially during physical exertion, you notice how consistently it operates. There are days when you're more aware of what's being processed here, particularly in

At the open day at the wastewater treatment plant, you get a good overview of how the plant works. Very interesting! Highlight: From the digester towers, you have a great view of the plant and the city.

Why is nothing being done about the fish deaths caused by the sewage treatment plant every year? It can't be right that this is simply accepted nowadays and that untreated wastewater is just allowed to flow into the rivers. It's simply infuriating...

Excellent! Thank you for the clean and high-quality water here in Leipzig. We were here with our school a while ago and learned a lot. My respect to the staff who sacrifice their sense of smell here. Otherwise, it's really worth seeing.

The Rosenthal sewage treatment plant perfectly captures the city's unique character. I highly recommend it to all visitors. For locals, apartments nearby are incredibly desirable.
