Join us for a walkLet us begin at the Tourist Information . From here, we go on to the Market Square to look at one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings in Germany – Altes Rathaus (Old City Hall) 5 , built in 1556/57. On the southern side of the square you’ll see the striking six-storey “Königs haus” where princes and em- perors once stayed. At the northern end you’ll find the Alte Waage (Old Weigh House) 4 , and behind it, to the right, there is the new Mu seum der bildenden Künste Leipzig (Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts) 80 . From the Market Square, you can walk straight into Barthels Hof 14 , the last surviving “thoroughfare merchant yard” dating from the times of the Leipzig goods fairs. Today, it houses

a restaurant, several shops and a theatre. Close to the far end of the passageway is the Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum 133 , café and museum, one of the oldest café-restaurants in the world (will be under refurbishment from 2019). Walking back across the Market Square, you’ll come to the Alte Handelsbörse (Old Stock Exchange) 2 , behind the Old City Hall, where merchants once went to sign

their contracts. From here, we’ll walk past the Goethe Monument to the Mädler Pas sage 71 , probably the most splendid arcade in Leipzig. It is chiefly known for the restau rant Auerbachs Keller 12 , the setting for one of the scenes from Goethe’s “Faust”. Around the corner is Neumarkt, a street which is home to the Städtisches Kaufhaus 117 , the building which housed the world’s first samples fair.

Strolling back to the Market Square, Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church) 123 will soon loom into view. This is where Johann Sebastian Bach worked as choirmaster and where he now lies buried. In front of the church, there is also a statue commemorating the composer. From here, we’ll walk along Burg-straße to the Neues Rathaus (New City Hall) 86 . It was built on the foundations of the former Pleissenburg castle, where Martin Luther went for his disputation of 1519. Not far away, you’ll find the former Imperial Court of Justice, which today houses the Federal Administrative Court 20 and the new Katholische Propsteikirche (Catholic Provost Church) 63 . Back in the city centre, we visit Augustusplatz with the Gewandhaus zu Leipzig (Leipzig Gewandhaus concert hall) 38 , the Oper Leipzig (Leipzig Opera) 90 and the new campus of the Universität Leipzig (University of Leipzig) 125 . East of here, we’ll see the Grassimuseum 43 44 , which houses famous collections of applied arts and crafts, ethnology and musical instruments. Our route continues to Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas Church) 87 and the Alte Nikolaischule (Old St. Nicholas School) 3 and then finishes at the Central Station, one of the largest rail terminus stations in Europe – its Promenaden (shopping malls) 96 are definitely worth a visit.

Fascinating views and vistas Welcome to one of the most vibrant cities in Germany. Leipzig is unique. It is a place where tradition meets dynamism, where Saxon “Gemütlich-keit” blends with high-tech business and where classic art and culture meet the avant-garde. Here in Leipzig, you’ll find a cosmopolitan atmosphere with plenty of space for creativity and new ideas. The magnificent city centre is the perfect place to start your adven-ture. Stately homes, historic arcades, Gothic, Renaissance, Wilhelminian and modern buildings tell of more than 1,000 years of history in the space of just one square kilometre.

Today, guests from all over the world come to admire the city’s density of attractions. Whatever you are looking for, everything is just a stone’s throw away in Leipzig. Cultural highlights for music and theatre enthusiasts, shop-ping opportunities in modern department stores and a unique closed network of historic passageways and courtyards, hip boutiques and antique book-shops are just some of the things worth discovering. Then there are the museums, art galler ies and the legendary pubs, first class restaurants and trendy bars. In addition, Leipzig’s event calendar promises highlights on almost every day of the year, including live performances by world-famous pop, rock and classical music stars, stand-up comedy shows, sports events, art exhibitions, trade shows and many open-air festivals.

And while we are talking of heavenly vistas … there is a place 120 m above the city offering magnificent delights – visual as well as culinary! It’s the “Panora-ma Tower” next to the Gewandhaus concert hall. You’ll see – Leipzig is a city to suit your tastes, in every meaning of the word.

cantatas with the St. Thomas Boys Choir. The famous choir performs where Bach once worked – at St. Thomas Church. Its choir hall is the place where the for mer choirmaster was laid to rest. The St. Thomas Boys Choir, by the way, is Leipzig’s oldest “cultural asset” and was founded in 1212.

Leipzig has also one of the longest-standing traditions of opera in Europe, dating back to 1693. Today, the Opera comprises several companies including the Leipzig Ballet and the Musikalische Komödie, which performs musicals and operettas on its own stage in Haus Dreilinden. Other ensembles that have

contributed to Leipzig’s fame as a city of music include the MDR Symphony Orchestra and the MDR Radio Choir. Leipzig makes itself heard in many ways: whether it’s the Bachfest, Mendelssohn at the Bachfest, the Wagner Festival, Schumann Festival Weeks, the “a cappella” Festival, Jazztage or euro-scene – this city lives and loves music! And celebrates it too: in 2019, the 200th birth-day of Clara Schumann will be marked with a rich and diverse events calendar. You are warmly invited to join us!

Leipzig’s “Notenspur” music trail Andante – ma non troppo! May 2012 saw the inauguration of the “Notenspur” (Music Trail) – a walk through the musical history of Leipzig along a 5 km sign- posted trail. It will take you to places of work and homes of world-famous com-posers and musicians at a story-a-minute. These sites, together with the Leipzig “Notenspur” (Music Trail), have been awarded the European Heritage Label.

A world-class city of musicLeipzig’s musical heritage is truly unique with an abun-dance of great composers who lived and worked here: Johann Sebastian Bach, Clara and Robert Schumann, Richard Wagner, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Edvard Grieg, Albert Lortzing, Gustav Mahler and Hanns Eisler. But Leipzig is not only a city that looks after its composers well – it also maintains the tradition of great musical performances. As one of the world’s leading ensembles, the Gewandhaus Orchestra alone attracts over two hundred thousand people to its concerts each year. Over the centuries, its reputation has been shaped by its music directors, including Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Arthur Nikisch, Kurt Masur and Riccardo Chailly. The Gewandhaus Orchestra has been directed by Andris Nelsons since 2018. The orchestra also accompanies shows at the Opera House and performs Bach

for a disputation. The meeting went down in history as the “Leipzig Dispu-tation”, where the breach between the Pope and the Lutherans manifested itself.

In October 1813, the peoples oppressed by Napoleon joined forces outside the city gates of Leipzig. In the “Battle of the Nations”, Austrians, Prussians, Russians and Swedes fought against Napoleon’s army and marked the decisive turning point in the war of liberation from Napoleo nic rule.

The new era begins on MondayAgain, it was October but more than 170 years later, when a peaceful up- rising brought about the collapse of the socialist regime. After prayers for peace in St. Nicholas Church, some 70,000 people took to the streets on

Monday 9 October 1989 to demonstrate for freedom of speech, assembly and travel. Chants such as “We are the people!” and “No violence!” heralded the first Peaceful Revolution in Germany. Today, St. Nicholas Church, the Memorial Museum in the “Runde Ecke” (round corner), and Leipzig’s inner ring road, are part of the “Sites of the Iron Curtain” European Heritage Label. In 2019, many events will reflect on the 30th anniversary of the Peaceful Revolution and will bring to life the events of autumn of ’89. You are warmly invited to join us.

Living history Leipzig is a city with a great history, and it has always been a magnet for great names. Napoleon was here, and so were Brockhaus, Reclam and Nietzsche, among others, as well as Schiller and Goethe, of course. You will probably already have heard of Auerbachs Keller from Goethe’s “Faust”, or the Völkerschlacht (Battle of the Nations / Bat-tle of Leipzig) or the Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas Church). In Leipzig, you will be able to experience history and hear the stories behind it at first-hand! Often, it was the call for freedom that left its marks of change in Leipzig’s history. But let’s proceed one step at a time …

Freedom makes Leipzig’s fameThe Reformation was a formative event for the city. In 1519, Martin Luther, Andreas Karlstadt and Philipp Melanchthon accepted an invitation from the university to meet the Catholic theologian Johann Eck in Pleissenburg castle

Fairs, science, conferences When they hear the name Leipzig, many people think of trade fairs. That’s been the case for centuries and well before the Leipzig Book Fair, DreamHack Leipzig or OTWorld, to name just the best-known Leipzig fairs today. The city was granted market rights in 1165 and imperial trade fair rights in 1497. Its former trade fair buildings and arcades, and above all its cosmopolitan atmosphere, bear witness to Leipzig’s eventful history as a city of trade. After German Reunification in 1990, Leipzig faced new challenges as an exhibition centre. Today, the new Leipzig Trade Fair specialises in made-to-measure trade shows. In addition, Leipzig has become a popular location for first-class conventions, held in venues such as the Congress Center Leipzig, the KONGRESSHALLE am Zoo Leipzig and the city’s numerous convention and conference hotels. Moreover, there are countless event locations available for tasteful evening programmes,

each with its own distinct style. The city’s scientific institutions provide plenty of reasons for holding conferences here. The University of Leipzig, founded in 1409, is one of the oldest in Europe. Heisenberg and Ostwald taught here – Goethe, Leib-niz and Lessing were students here. Today, Leipzig also has six univer- sities of applied science and about 150 institutes and clinics, including the Heart Center, the Max Planck Institute, the Fraunhofer Gesell-schaft, the Mediencampus and BIO CITY LEIPZIG.

Much more than just books Leipzig has always been a good place for innovation. In 1650, the world’s first daily newspaper was published here. But Leipzig also has a very special relationship with books. The German National Library

in Deutscher Platz is the central archive and bibliographic centre of Germany. The German Museum of Books and Writing, the Music Archive and the Collection of Exile Literature 1933 – 1945 are all worth a visit.

To this day, Leipzig is a very attractive publishing and media centre. And not only books are made here, but authors too. The Leipzig Institute of Literature is the only institution of its kind in the German-speaking world to offer authors a university education. And last but not least, over 40,000 students with all sorts of new ideas help make Leipzig not just a place worth reading about, but a place well worth living in every day – and every night.

unmistakable visual lang-uage here which continues to influence modern painters to this day. Presently, it is painters such as Neo Rauch, Tilo Baum- gärtel, Tim Eitel, Matthias Weischer and Rosa Loy who are making heads turn

around the world. You want to see where such art is made? Then head to the for-mer cotton mill Spinnerei with more than 100 studios and galleries. The west of Leipzig, formerly a predominantly indus-trial area, is now an experimentation ground for artists, with the Kunstkraft-werk (Art Power Station), the Tapeten- werk (Leipzig Wallpaper Factory), the

Spinnerei (Leipzig Cotton Mill) and others. At the Museum of Fine Arts, works by the Leipzig School and many other artists including Max Beck-mann, Caspar David Friedrich, Lucas Cranach, Peter Paul Rubens and Max Klinger are exhibited. The renovated Grassimuseum is home to the Museum of Applied Arts, the Museum of Musical Instruments and the Museum of Ethnology, all of which hold collections of international renown.

It’s not all down to Leipziger Allerlei …Leipzig has always been considered a very hospitable place. Generations of students and visitors to the fairs praised its pubs, Goethe being the most famous, setting a scene from his “Faust” in Auerbachs Keller. There’s also Barthels Hof, Leipzig’s sole surviving “thoroughfare merchant yard” with its enchanting Renaissance style restaurant. Next door is the “Coffe Baum” café, one of the oldest coffee houses in the world, which will be under refurbish-

Just enjoy! You’ll encounter many things in Leipzig – but boredom surely won’t be one of them. This city will surprise you every time you turn the corner. Be it on a stroll through Leipzig’s shopping arcades and department stores or in the many small boutiques along the pre-cincts and promenades – you’ll always find something special here. Over 30 shopping malls welcome visitors in to shop, pick up a bite to eat or simply hang out – from the popular Mädler Passage arcades to the inner-city boulevards and the shopping mall in the Central Station. Throughout most of the year, there are numerous farmers’ markets or flea markets. Another famous attraction is Leipzig’s Christmas Market.

Artists who set new standards Art made in Leipzig is a hot topic throughout the world – the term “Leipziger Schule” (Leipzig School) has been translated into many languages and become a trademark here. The local Academy of Visual Arts played a decisive role in the development of the Leipzig School. Since the 1960s, painters such as Bernhard Heisig, Wolfgang Mattheuer and Werner Tübke have created an

ment from 2019. As regards culinary delights, Leipzig is a feast for the taste buds. It has everything – gourmet tem-ples, bars, Saxon and international cuisine, with a choice of all kinds of setting from down-to-earth to modern. In addition, there is always a good pub “round the corner” in any part of town. Generally, Leipzig’s special dishes and beverages are a must – and a delight! Original Leipzig Gose, for example: this top-fermented beer had almost been for-gotten when it was “rediscovered” by a Leipzig restaurateur. Or how about Allasch, Lerchen, Leipziger Allerlei, Leipziger Räb-chen – you should surely give them all a try!

For daydreamers and night owls If you happen to be nocturnal, you’ll find plenty here to get enthusiastic about – theatres, concert halls, cabarets, variety clubs and the many other outdoor venues offer a stunning events programme. And when you finally arrive in one of the many clubs, bars or trendy watering holes, you’ll realise that Leipzig is always wide awake and that the term “closing time” is not in our vocabulary. And if you prefer the great outdoors, why not try a bit of “animal magic”? Leipzig Zoo is one of the most fascinating zoos in Europe, where you can dis-cover six exciting animal worlds. Gondwanaland, for instance, invites you to experience the tropical rainforest of Africa, Asia and South America over an area of 16.000 m2. How about the countryside? Around a third of Leipzig is covered in forest, parks or allotment gardens. The Auenwald forest, cutting a wide strip of woodland right the way through the city, is ideal for hiking and cycling. In the city centre, you can relax in the green Clara-Zetkin-Park and the Johannapark. Or discover renovated 19th-century industrial architecture on boat trips along the Karl Heine Canal or the Weiße Elster River.

Want even more of an experience? Then why not take a trip to the Panometer to see the world’s largest panoramic painting. For those with an interest in sport, a match at the Red Bull Arena featuring Bundesliga team RB Leipzig will be a real treat. Leipzig Region also has a host of sporting

attractions to offer: if youʼre looking to kick back and relax or want to try your hand at a new water sport, the Leipzig New Lakeland area is the place for you. With its many waterways, over 20 lakes and more than 70 km² of water, the region isn’t just for canoeists and kayakers! You can try sailing, diving, surf-ing, take a motorboat tour or simply relax on one of its beautiful beaches – a very popular activity in summer. You can even have a go at white water raft-ing at the Markkleeberg Canoe Park. And from there, it’s not far to the BELAN-TIS theme park, with over 60 attractions for the whole family nestled in green parkland. Other exciting places to explore include the cycling and hiking trails in the Düben Heath, Dahlen Heath and Wermsdorf Forest nature reserves, the towns along the Saxony Luther Trail such as Eilenburg, Grimma and Döbeln, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Meißen and Wörlitzer Park. Not to mention the mighty castles in Kriebstein and Leisnig, as well as Dresden, Halle, Weimar ... Leipzig and the surrounding area are well worth a visit!
