What you can expect

Start your tour at the Leipzig New Town Hall, which is the seat of the Leipzig city administration since 1905. Here, you will see its main tower which is 114.8 metres high. It is the tallest city hall tower in Germany.

Next, you will visit the St. Thomas Church, which is a Lutheran church. It is associated with a number of well-known composers such as Richard Wagner and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Today, the church also holds their remains. Martin Luther preached here in 1539.

You will visit the Bach memorial dedicated to the person who needs no introduction. As early as 1885, on the occasion of Bach's 200th birthday, a second memorial for the cathedral choirmaster was considered. However, it was not until 1894, after the reconstruction of St. John's Church , the rediscovery and overbuilding of Bach's grave and the identification of his skull by Carl Seffner in collaboration with the anatomist Wilhelm His (1831-1904), that the projects became more concrete.

As we continue, you will visit the St. Nicholas Church, which is one of the major churches of central Leipzig. Its Construction started in Romanesque style in 1165, but in the 16th century, the church was turned into a Gothic hall church. Baroque elements like the tower were added in the 18th century.

Finish your tour at the Leipzig University, which is one of the world's oldest universities (founded on 2 December 1409) and the second-oldest university in Germany.
