Anyone working as a tradesperson, electrician, plumber, painter or craftsperson in Leipzig for an extended period faces the same question: where can I stay affordably and comfortably? Hotels are expensive and impractical for longer stays, hostels are not suitable for working professionals who need rest after a hard day on site – and commuting from home daily over long distances is simply not feasible. The answer is worker apartments in Leipzig: fully furnished, move-in ready accommodation designed specifically for business travellers and teams. fairschlafen offers 19 such apartments across Leipzig and Chemnitz, all bookable directly from the owner with no portal fees.

Worker apartment vs. hotel – what is really better?
This is the question asked by many companies and self-employed tradespeople when sending workers to Leipzig for weeks or months at a time. The numbers make the answer obvious.
- Own kitchen: Cooking your own meals saves €20–40 per person daily compared to restaurants and hotel breakfasts. Over three weeks for a team of four, that adds up to well over €1,000 in food savings alone.
- Washing machine in the apartment: No laundry costs, no need to hunt for a laundrette after a long working day. Work clothes can be washed overnight and are ready the next morning.
- Genuine living space: A real living room, a separate bedroom and a fully equipped kitchen – not a cramped hotel room where you eat your takeaway sitting on the edge of the bed.
- Group pricing: The more people sharing the apartment, the lower the cost per person. Hotels charge per room regardless; with fairschlafen, a team of six pays just €18 per person per night.
- Home atmosphere: After a physically demanding working day, being able to cook a proper meal, sit on a sofa and watch TV makes a significant difference to wellbeing and performance the next day.
- Free parking: At most of our apartments there is free parking directly at the building or in nearby side streets – saving €10–20 per day compared to city centre hotels.
💡 Worked example: A team of 4 workers staying 3 weeks in Leipzig. Hotel: approx. €80/person/night = €6,720 total. fairschlafen: €18/person/night = €1,512 total. Saving: over €5,000 – enough to cover transport costs for the entire project.
Prices and cost comparison

Districts overview
Leipzig-Gohlis
A quiet northern district with attractive late 19th-century architecture and reliable tram connections to all parts of the city. Ideal for workers based in the north of Leipzig, near the airport (LEJ) or in the industrial estates in the northwest. There are supermarkets and affordable restaurants within easy walking distance.
Leipzig-Plagwitz
Leipzig's most fashionable district, yet surprisingly practical for workers. Four apartments in the same modern building with a lift – perfect for larger teams who want to be together. The Karl-Heine-Straße is a five-minute walk away with numerous restaurants, supermarkets and a weekly market. Public transport to the city centre takes around 15 minutes.
Leipzig-Grünau
Grünau offers the best public transport connections of all our locations – multiple tram and bus routes run directly into the city centre. Free parking is available right outside the building, and there are large supermarkets and a shopping centre within walking distance. Our largest single apartment (3 rooms, 6 beds) is located here.
Leipzig-Großzschocher / Southwest
Our largest location: seven apartments in a single building – ideal for companies deploying multiple teams simultaneously in Leipzig. The location gives easy access to the A9 and A38 motorways, making travel to construction sites and industrial areas across the Leipzig area straightforward. Free parking is available directly at the building.
Leipzig-Paunsdorf & Sellerhausen
Two apartments ideally located for workers based in eastern Leipzig: the Paunsdorf commercial district, the Amazon logistics centre and the Sellerhausen industrial zone are all within a short drive.
