About Moritzbastei
Moritzbastei in Leipzig is a historic cultural centre and club complex built into the city’s old fortifications. With eight vaulted cellar rooms and two inner courtyards, the venue accommodates diverse setups for concerts, theatre, tours, and private events. Capacity reaches up to 1,200 across spaces, with typical seated configurations around 550 for larger events. There isn’t a single published seating chart because arrangements are event-dependent, making Moritzbastei a flexible home for a wide range of performances.
Located at Kurt-Masur-Platz 1, 04109 Leipzig, Moritzbastei is a cornerstone of the city’s cultural scene, offering intimate to mid-sized experiences in historic surroundings.
