9 . O L D S T O C K E X C H A N G E NASCHMARKT 1 The Old Stock Exchange on Naschmarkt is Leipzig ’ s oldest baroque building . It was constructed by Leipzig merchants in 1678 and was used as a prestigious place of assembly for 200 years . Transactions were concluded , auctions were held and bills of exchange were traded here . In 1886 , the Chamber of Commerce built a bigger building on Tröndlinring . Since then , the Old Stock Exchange has been used for concerts , readings , theatre performances , lectures and conferences as well as private and public functions . To this day , the Old Stock Exchange is a popular venue for events . The unostentatious and stylish hall provides space for up to 200 people . We would be pleased to show you the building during a tour and to provide you with information on our service offering and letting conditions . We look forward to meeting you , and are , of course , happy to give advice .
