The Leipzig class was a group of two steam corvettes built for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) in the 1870s. The two ships of the class were Leipzig and Prinz Adalbert; Prinz Adalbert was originally named Sedan after the Battle of Sedan, but was renamed shortly after entering service to avoid angering France. They were based on the earlier corvette Freya, but were significantly larger, carried a stronger armament, and unlike the wooden-hulled Ariadne-class corvettes, adopted iron construction, making them the first corvettes of the German fleet to be built with iron. Originally intended to serve abroad and with the fleet, British experiences during the Battle of Pacocha in 1877 convinced the German naval command that unarmored warships were useless against the fleets of iron

So wurde die Leipzig nach der Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig benannt, und die Prinz Adalbert sollte nach der Schlacht von Sedan entsprechend Sedan genannt werden.

Eigentlich sollte die Leipzig-Klasse auf der Ariadne-Klasse basieren, letztlich wurden ihre Schiffe jedoch bedeutend größer gebaut, hatten eine stärkere Bewaffnung und im Gegensatz zu der Holzbauweise der Korvetten der Ariadne-Klasse eine Eisenrumpfkonstruktion.
