The fur trade at the Leipziger Brühl Trade fair trade with Fellwerk also has a firm place in the more than 800-year-old trade fair city of Leipzig. The processing of raw fur remained in the hand of the furrier for centuries until the finished garment. In the course of time, since the 16th century, only finishing was practiced, while dressing, dyeing and the actual smoking trade, which concentrated on and around the Leipzig Bruehl, developed into independent, flourishing economic sectors. Since about 1864, for example, about 80 percent of the Russian-Siberian pelts have been traded at the Leipzig fairs. In the second half of the 19th century Leipzig developed into the most important international fur trading center in the world and thus also to the "city of furs". After the First World War, the Leipzig Bruehl experienced a new heyday, on the one hand because of its unrivaled finishing industry and on the other hand with the help of the young Soviet Union, which auctioned off its rich fur population in Leipzig three times a year from 1920 for ten years. The decades-long tradition of international Leipzig tobacco auctions continued with the 506th auction in 1960. Now, two international tobacco auctions take place each spring, which are visited every year by smoker traders from almost all European countries as well as from countries of the Orient, India, Japan, Canada and the USA. In addition to the representative Interpelz-Haus am Brühl, which was built in 1965, the new auction building "Brühlzentrum" was also built, where around 1 million raw hides are auctioned off at the annual spring auctions in February and April.
