Testing and Measurement in Leipzig

Today's testing and measurement websites hotspot is Leipzig. 

This town in Saxony, Germany, is about 150km south of Berlin and has a population of over half a million people. It's home to the famous Leipzig Festival, and has been a significant trade centre since the time of the Holy Roman Empire and was first documented in 1015. 

The city sits at the intersection of two major medieval trade routes. 

Leipzig became an important cultural centre, too, and after World War Two it developed into a major urban city within East Germany, although its economic importance declined. Leipzig's citizens played an important part in the protests that lead to the reunification of Germany and the modern city has been voted one of the best places to live in the world.
