  • Two churches in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt are set to be auctioned in Leipzig next month.
  • The starting bids for both churches are set at 150,000 euros each.
  • The auction will feature 117 properties, including a former grain mill, with a total minimum price of approximately 4.9 million euros.

Two churches located in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt are scheduled for auction in Leipzig in August. The properties, situated in Wettin-Lรถbejรผn in the Saalekreis district and Oranienbaum-Wรถrlitz in the Wittenberg district, will both have a starting bid of 150,000 euros.

The auctions are being organized by Sรคchsische Grundstรผcksauktionen AG. The event, taking place on August 26 in Dresden and August 28 in Leipzig, will offer a total of 117 properties from various German states. The combined minimum price for all listed properties is approximately 4.9 million euros, with 18 of these properties located in Saxony-Anhalt.

Among the diverse range of properties up for bid is a former grain mill in WeiรŸenfels, Burgenlandkreis. This particular property has a significantly lower starting bid of just 3,000 euros, contrasting sharply with the church properties.

The auction presents a unique opportunity for buyers interested in historical or unique real estate, with the churches offering a potentially significant investment or redevelopment prospect.
