About Leipzig

Leipzig is a Saxon city of music, trade fairs and coffee houses, where Bach worked and where the peaceful protests of 1989 began.

Leipzig has been a trading city since the Middle Ages, and its fairs gave it arcades, courtyards and merchants' houses. Johann Sebastian Bach was cantor at the Thomaskirche from 1723 until his death, and the Thomanerchor, the boys' choir, has sung there since 1212. The Nikolaikirche was the starting point of the Monday demonstrations of 1989, and the 91-metre Monument to the Battle of the Nations marks the great battle of 1813.

Top-ranked sights in Leipzig: St Nicholas Church (Nikolaikirche), St. Thomas Church (Thomaskirche), Leipzig Zoo (Zoologischer Garten Leipzig).
