About Der Anker

Der Anker is a dynamic socio-cultural center and concert venue located at Renftstraße 1 in Leipzig. Operated by ANKER e.V., the venue accommodates approximately 1,300 attendees and is known for its flexible space that can adapt to a variety of event configurations — from standing-room-heavy concerts to seated performances. With a rich history and a steady stream of live music, Der Anker hosts around 200 concerts each year, including appearances from notable artists such as Peter Heppner (2025) and events tied to the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival.

Whether you’re catching a midweek show or a specialty festival, secure your seats through our streamlined process. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotels and dining options to make your visit seamless.

Note: The venue’s seating is flexible and not published on a single fixed chart, reflecting its adaptable approach to each event. This means configurations can vary by show, so verify seating details at purchase or on the event page for the latest layout.

Der Anker sits in Leipzig’s city center area, easily reached by multiple transit options. Tram lines 10 and 11, bus routes 80 and 90, and S-Bahn lines 1 and 3 service nearby stops. On-street parking around the venue is available, but there is no dedicated on-site lot advertised. For a convenient stay, consider trusted partner hotels like The Westin Leipzig, Hotel Fürstenhof Leipzig, and Residenz Hotel Leipzig, all within short reach of the venue. After the show, explore nearby dining options and reserve a table through our recommended venues to complement your concert night.

If you’re planning a multi-day event or a festival experience, remember to check the specific date and venue setup for each performance, as Der Anker hosts diverse programming throughout the year.
