The Nordvorstadt (German pronunciation: [ˈnɔʁtfoːɐ̯ˌʃtat] ⓘ, lit. 'Northern Vorstadt') in Leipzig in Germany is an area north of the city center and belongs to the borough (Stadtbezirk) of Leipzig-Mitte. The designation is not official. The Nordvorstadt stretches from the Inner City Ring Road to the boundaries of the former villages and today's Leipzig localities of Gohlis and Eutritzsch. It had its origins in the former tanners' quarter. The Nordvorstadt was incorporated into Leipzig in 1839 and developed according to plan from 1868/1869. With minor deviations, their area corresponds to the locality of Zentrum-Nord defined in Leipzig's municipal structure of 1992.
