Leipzig City Guide
Leipzig bears witness to many watersheds of history: It was here
that Luther proclaimed his suggestions for religious reformation.
Johann Sebastian Bach was cantor at the Church of St. Thomas,
which today is one of the major sights. Felix Mendelsohn,
too, composed some of his major works in Leipzig. In 1813 Schwarzenberg
defeated Napoleon in a decisive battle (battle of the nations) just
outside of Leipzig. In 1989 Leipzig was a starting point of the
peaceful revolution, which culminated in the downfall of the GDR
and the reunion of eastern and western Germany.
Important sights are the opera house, Gewandhaus orchestra,
ancient city hall, battle of the nation memorial and Auerbach's
cellar, which is said to have inspired the famous pub scene in Goethe's
Faust. Drallewatsch, a picturesque quarter of the city, is
perfect for an extended pub-crawl.
Study at Leipzig University
Leipzig's university has almost existed for 600 years! It has a
strong philosophical tradition, with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz,
Friedrich Nietzsche and Werner Heisenberg being among its many distinguished
scholars.
