Leipziger Spring Fair 1978 At the Leipzig Spring Fair 1978, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic issued two special postage stamps. Special cancellation from 7th March to 6th May 1978 Leipzig Spring Fair 1978 10 Pfennig value: Royal House on the market The Markt 17 in the center of Leipzig, especially known under the name "royal house", is one of the buildings of the trade fair city of great architectural and historical significance , In 1706, the predecessor building built in 1610 in the Renaissance character by the famous Leipzig Baroque master builder Johann Gregor Fuchs (creator of many outstanding Baroque houses in Leipzig, including the Romanushaus) for the Leipzig manufactory Dietrich Apel was rebuilt in Baroque style. The staircase tower of the previous building with spiral staircase and beautiful Renaissance spindle inside the building was preserved during the conversion. The elfachsige facade of the six-storey building carries as the most essential jewelery the attractive three-storey Barockerker. In the past, Apel's house was often used as a guesthouse of the council. Since among the prominent guests of the house were also kings and emperors, the building was given the name "royal house" by the vernacular. At the beginning of December 1977 a commemorative plaque (travertine) with the following text was added in the 1917 passage of the house, the "Königshauspassage": "Apel's house, Markt 17, so-called royal house First known alteration 1610. From this time the stone spiral staircase. Renewed 1706/07 in baroque form according to plans by Gregor Fuchs. Here were: 1698 Peter I., 1706 Karl XII. of Sweden, several times August the Strong and Frederick II. 1813 Napoleon I. "On the ground floor of the stair tower (access from the royal passage) is a bronze commemorative plaque with the following text:" Here in the royal house died on October 15, 1820 Field Marshal Prince Karl zu Schwarzenberg, the victorious army commander of the Allies in the Battle of Leipzig 1813. Dedicated to the KK Reichshaupt- u. Residenzstadt Wien 1913 "1965 to 1967: Reconstruction of the Royal House 1976: restoration of the façade
