Leipzig Information
Leipzig has been an important influence in European commercial and intellectual life for centuries, and its sights are all part of the Leipzig experience. Historical shopping arcades, lovingly restored, are typical of the architecture in the city centre. There are great shops, a vibrant cultural scene and lively bars that stay open very late, all within a relatively small area.
Places of interest
The Renaissance Old Town Hall is where Johann Sebastian Bach signed his employment contract as cantor of nearby St. Thomas's Church. St. Nicholas's Church became known throughout the world in 1989 as the starting point of the "peaceful revolution" which paved the way for the reunification of Germany. Visitors can follow in Goethe's footsteps at Auerbachs Keller restaurant.
Museums
The Museum at the Mendelssohn House is devoted to the memory of Felix Mendelssohn, who was kapellmeister of the Gewandhaus. The university's Musical Instrument Museum, the Museum of Arts and Crafts and the Museum of Ethnology can all be found at the Grassi Museum complex on Johannisplatz. The Museum of Fine Arts presents a comprehensive collection of European art from the 15th to the 20th century in a spectacular new building.
