Road access limited due to Lok Leipzig Cup match
Topic: Traffic Restrictions and Transportation Options for the Wernesgrüner Sachsenpokal Match
In Leipzig-Probstheida on Saturday, May 24, the Bruno-Plache Stadium will host the Wernesgrüner Sachsenpokal match between 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig and Erzgebirge Aue. A crowd of around 12,000 spectators is anticipated for the 16:30 kickoff.
Due to safety and rescue route requirements, several traffic measures will be implemented on match day. Motorists should note absolute no-parking zones on Connewitzer Straße between Prager Straße and Bernhard-Kellermann-Straße, Döner Straße from the LVB turning point, and Straße Zum Förderturm. Döner Straße and Straße Zum Förderturm will be closed to car traffic from 9 am. These closures are expected to lift only late in the evening. Given the possibility of extra time and a penalty shootout after regular time, the match may extend beyond the initially scheduled ending.
For those attending the game, it is advisable to use public transportation to navigate the area around the stadium, considering the limited parking options. Other motorists should avoid the stadium vicinity completely.
It is essential to note that the guest sector for this match is fully sold out, and no tickets will be available at the gate. For individual travelers arriving by car or minibus (up to 9 persons), a recommended parking area is the Mönchereiparkplatz in Markkleeberg. To reach the parking facility, follow the A72/B2, exit toward Markkleeberg, and then drive along Seenallee, Kirchstraße, and Mönchereistraße. The parking lot has a height restriction of 1.50 meters.
Additionally, for safety reasons, large bags cannot be checked at the stadium entrance. Fans should only bring small items like A4-sized backpacks, belts, and handbags, which will be inspected. There is no bag drop-off facility available at the stadium.
Shuttle buses, provided by Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB), will be available from 13:00 at two locations: Bahnhof Markleeberg Nord and Mönchereiparkplatz. Utilizing these shuttle buses offers a convenient and traffic-congestion-free option for reaching the stadium.
Fans should plan their arrival to allow enough time for entering the stadium, which opens at 14:15.
In summary, due to parking limitations and the sold-out guest sector, spectators are encouraged to utilize the shuttle bus options or park at Mönchereiparkplatz if arriving by car. Large bags should be avoided as no deposit facility exists at the stadium, and attending without a ticket is not advisable.
To avoid traffic congestion near the Bruno-Plache Stadium, football fans attending the Wernesgrüner Sachsenpokal match between 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig and Erzgebirge Aue on May 24th are advised to use public transportation or park at Mönchereiparkplatz in Markkleeberg. Due to traffic measures implemented on match day, individuals should avoid parked cars in designated no-parking zones on Connewitzer Straße, Döner Straße, and Straße Zum Förderturm, as these areas will be closed to cars from 9 am.
