Useful information for tourists about Leipzig in Germany - geographical location, tourist infrastructure, map, architectural features and attractions.

Leipzig is a city in the federal state of Saxony. It was granted city status in 1165 by Margrave Otto of Meissen. In 1507, Emperor Maximilian I granted the city the privilege of holding fairs. In the 17th-18th centuries, Leipzig became the economic center of the country, the capital of book printing, and the center of musical life in Germany.

For more than 800 years, Leipzig, which Goethe calls “little Paris” in his Faust, has been a city of fairs. The concept of universal fairs has recently been replaced by the concept of specialized fairs.

In addition, Leipzig is a major center of science. Here in 1409 the University was founded, where Goethe, Lessing, Klopstock studied, and Johann Sebastian Bach was its conductor in 1723-1750.

The center of Leipzig is the Market Square, one side of which is entirely occupied by the magnificent Old Town Hall. The mid-16th century building now operates as a museum and concert hall. From the balcony of the Old Town Hall every Sunday the city trumpeters sound the city anthem.

The Old Town Hall and the Market Square are surrounded primarily by commercial buildings - fair warehouses, the Old Exchange (XVII century); in one of the former warehouses, Leipzig's first coffee shop still operates, and in the basement of another there is Leipzig's oldest wine cellar, beloved by Leipzig students and immortalized by Goethe in Faust - the Auerbach cellar.

On the other side of the Market Square is the early Gothic Church of St. Thomas from the 13th century. Johann Sebastian Bach worked there as a cantor and organist for 27 years. There is a monument to him in front of the church, and next to the church is the Bach Museum.

The oldest church in the city - the Church of St. Nicholas - was rebuilt many times, but very successfully combines elements of Gothic, Renaissance architecture, Baroque and Classicism. Next to the Church of St. Nicholas is Augustusplatz, which could be called Arts Square. The square is surrounded on three sides by the University of Leipzig, the Leipzig Philharmonic and the Leipzig Opera.

In the west of Leipzig there is the famous Leipzig Zoo, the Schiller House Museum and the country palace Gohliser Schloesschen, now a perfectly restored concert hall.

The appearance of the city was formed under the influence of the Leipzig Fair, which is still noticeable today. Between 1893 and 1938, 35 fairgrounds were built in the city center. Today they house prestigious shopping arcades. In the arcades of the Old Town Hall there are many small shops offering souvenirs, guides and reference books.

509,000 inhabitants

Leipzig- the city is special. More than three hundred years separate the first mention of a small fortress at the crossroads of important trade routes and the granting of the "Great Fair Privilege", by which the city became one of the most important imperial trading centers. Between these events - the status of a trading town, and the ownership of silver mines in the Ore Mountains, and the creation of the third German university. Since 1497, the city has regularly held imperial fairs, which attract merchants from all over Europe (now this continues, the territory of the exhibition center in Leipzig is huge, and annually hosts a huge number of different exhibitions and fairs). It is this starting point for the creation of the Leipzig that we see now.

City coat of arms

Around the market square

Old Leipzig center . On the east side stands town hall, Built at the beginning of the 16th century, it is a true testament to the financial power of the city. The city council building was built in 1556 and is one of the most famous examples of administrative buildings in the Renaissance style. The work was personally supervised by the mayor of Leipzig, Hieronymus Lotter.

Old Town Hall

The result was a three-story building with arcades on the lower floor. The town hall tower is located slightly asymmetrically: to the left of it there are two transverse pediments, and to the right - four. The baroque finial of the tower dates back to the 18th century, and the bay window on the south side, as well as the gallery, were added at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Old Town Hall

Since 1911, the Old Town Hall has housed the city museum, by visiting which you can explore the state rooms of the Old Town Hall. Not far from the town hall is museum of fine arts , which contains a rich collection of paintings and plastic arts.

« Royal House» is located on the south side of the square. The building was built in the 16th century and rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. The house got its name due to the fact that crowned heads who came to Leipzig stayed here. Among them is our Peter the Great, his rival, King Charles 12 of Sweden (a few years later), Napoleon before the battle of 1813.

Church of St. Thomas

Church of St. Thomas - the main place of pilgrimage for fans of the great Bach. The late Gothic hall church is decorated with a Baroque turret. This white, elegant building is famous for the fact that one of the most famous boys' choirs in the world was created here (along with the Viennese one), and because one of the greatest composers, Johann Sebastian Bach, served here. He is buried there in the altar.

The church on this site was already known in the 12th century. In the 13th century, an Augustinian monastery appeared and the church was rebuilt, and this lasted for several centuries. By the end of the 15th century, the modern design appears. Note the magnificent reticulated vaults. The baroque finial of the tower dates back to the early 18th century.

Opposite the church there is a monument to the musician, and across the road there is the Bach Museum-Archive, where you can see furniture, instruments, and recordings of the composer during his stay in Leipzig. It is worth noting that it was in Leipzig that he spent most of his life and served as cantor in the Church of St. Thomas for 27 years. Unfortunately, none of the organs that Bach played in the city have survived.

New monument to Bach

Next to the church there is a monument to the composer, erected here in 1908. The first monument to Bach was erected in the city in 1843 by order of another composer and church cantor, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. It was he who, two years earlier, actually pulled Bach’s works out of centuries-old oblivion by playing the St. Matthew Passion in the Church of St. Thomas.
At the end of the 19th century, another monument to Bach appeared in the church: a stained glass window with a portrait of the composer.

Stained glass by Bach

Walking past the imposing bank building, the former Topaz trading house, you can reach the oldest coffee shop in Leipzig (the second oldest in Europe) - “ coffee tree ».

The cafe got its name from the decor above the entrance: a coffee tree, an angel with a cup of coffee and a Turk. The coffee house itself has been here since 1694, and coffee was first tasted here by Augustus the Strong himself, the famous Duke of Saxony and King of Poland, to whose vigorous energy we owe the appearance of the magnificent ensemble of Dresden. By the way, this beautiful relief above the entrance to the cafe was created by a student of Balthasar Permoser, one of the creators of the Dresden Zwinger.

Decoration of the oldest Saxon cafe

Like any fair city, Leipzig has a huge number of arcades that were built specifically for the convenience of trade and delivery of goods. Thus, the city appeared passages, which became his real calling card. Many of them were rebuilt in the 19th century, modernized and ennobled. It is always interesting to walk among such houses: these are whole rows of courtyards, turning one into another, with real streets and shopping shops.

Speckshof Passage

One of these interesting passages is Specks Hof - the first private fairground of the city, its owner was the merchant Maximilian Specks von Sternburg. The construction of the modern passage took quite a long time, in several stages, separated by the First World War and the difficult post-war years. In memory of the first owner, Shpex, only the name remains. At that time it was one of the largest fair premises. After the fairgrounds were moved outside the historical center, retail and office space was placed in passages like the Speks Courtyard.

Rike Trading House

Opposite is the most original trading house Riquethaus. The Art Nouveau building was built at the beginning of the twentieth century by order of the Rike trading house, which transported colonial goods. The elephant heads above the entrance once served as the identification mark of Rika's chocolate factory. Now you can drink good coffee here.

Modern with an oriental touch

Next to the Specks Hof passage there is a baroque building Old Exchange at Naschmarkt . It is very beautifully decorated on the outside, but has long served not the world of finance and raw materials, but the muse: a concert hall is located here. The Old Exchange is the only surviving Baroque building in the city. Opposite is a monument to the main student of the University of Leipzig, I.-W. Goethe, who looks in the direction of his favorite place in the city: Auerbach's tavern.

Old Exchange

Not far from the market square and the Naschmarkt there is a passage made famous by Goethe in his work Faust. More precisely, Goethe described a tavern on the site of a modern arcade. But at the end of the 19th century, the shopping center Mädler Passage "was built by leather goods manufacturer Anton Mädler on the site of the former Auerbach yards, which so attracted the German genius. The four-story building is connected to two more passages, the royal and the exhibition, and represents a real city within a city. At the intersection of three passages there is a “rotunda”, where a carillon made of Meissen porcelain was installed, playing music every hour.

During construction the famous Auerbach zucchini, in which one of the scenes of “Faust” took place, went underground, and was quite expanded and rebuilt. But it exists, and they still show how you can fly on a barrel, and for a lot of money. The name Auerbach reminds us of the former courtyards located on this site, more precisely of the wine shop opened here in 1525 by the professor of medicine, university rector and city councilor Heinrich Stromer from the town of Auerbach. Later, a huge trading yard appeared here, and they mainly sold luxury goods, as they do now.

They say that it was in 1525 that Doctor Faustus, who visited the Leipzig fair, also visited a tavern, where he took a ride on a barrel. Paintings about this story appear in the seventeenth century, but the fame of Auerbach's tavern comes only after the appearance of Goethe's Faust.

In the passage about Faust and Mephistopheles, the sculptural scenes from the work, guarding the entrance to the tavern since 1913, are reminiscent of the Mephisto cafe, which belongs to the Aursbach tavern, but at normal prices. If you go there, don't forget to wait for Mephistopheles. He goes there sometimes.

The university is also nearby. But before you go there, you need to go to Church of St. Nicholas . The design of this oldest surviving church in the city, which is also the largest temple in the city, is very beautiful. It was first mentioned in the mid-12th century. The old Gothic church was rebuilt in the 18th century in the spirit of classicism.

The church has become known throughout the world since October 1989, when protesters against the partition of Germany took to the streets from here. It all started back in 1981, when parishioners gathered here for peaceful “Monday prayers,” and ended with a revolution without violence, when at the end of September 1989 more than 70 thousand people came to pray.

Augustusplatz

The square is named after the King of Saxony, Friedrich August I. It was conceived as a cultural center - a museum, theater, Augusteum, post office, university - all in one place.

University was founded in 1406 by Margrave Frederick the Warlike. The building was built according to the design of Karl-Friedrich Schinkel on the site of the former Paulinian monastery, in which the university was located until that time. One famous student was Johann Wolfgang Goethe.

Opera built on the site of the New Theater destroyed during the war. At the opening in 1960, Leipzig-born Wagner’s “Die Meistersinger” was staged. By the way, a bronze bust of Wagner stands behind the opera in a romantic park. The original was once made by Max Klinger at the beginning of the 20th century.

Opera

Gewandhaus. The new Gewandhaus was built in 1981. The foyer and concert hall are decorated with paintings on the theme of music. Leipzig's most important concert building in terms of music. The first concerts were organized by merchants on the top floor of the cloth house in 1743. On November 25, 1781, the first concert hall was opened, whose fame spread throughout the world after Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy became its conductor. A new monument to him was opened in front of the Gewandhaus building, replacing the old one destroyed by the Nazis. Not far away on Goldschmidstrasse there is the Mendelssohn House Museum.

Second building of Gewandhaus

Leipzig station also applies to the city's attractions. It recently celebrated its centenary. The length of the facade is 298 meters. 21 paths, the length of the platform connecting all the paths is 267 meters. The complicated history of the railway connection itself: there were branches of trains from Prussia and trains from Saxony. Everything was once clearly separated, so a new and larger station was needed. And although the railway connection between Dresden and Leipzig was opened in 1839, the station was built in 1915, and there are 2 in total: two entrances, two facades, two waiting rooms. This is precisely the result of the fact that part of the tracks belonged to Saxony and part to Prussia: the “Saxon-Prussian railway war.”

In 2006, work was carried out to reconstruct the station, and now everything is much simpler: an ancient building with modern filling and a huge shopping center.

Russian church St. Alexius is located near the area where the Battle of the Nations took place - one of the hardest battles against Napoleon in 1813. The church serves not only as a temple, but also as a reminder of the Russian soldiers who died in battle. In terms of its architecture, it is a tented church, the model of which was the Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye.

Monument to the Battle of the Nations – a huge monument was built in 15 years by 1913 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the victory over Napoleon. The massive colossus, built for the centenary of the Battle of the Nations, is made of granite, cost 6 million gold marks and weighs a huge number of tons.

Monument to the Battle of the Nations

The monument is richly decorated with various sculptures and bas-reliefs, reminding us of the victory over Napoleon. Inside, the room is divided into 3 parts: the crypt - honoring the memory of the dead, the hall of fame - praising the victory of the coalition and military qualities, and the dome - showing the return of soldiers home.

Monument to the Battle of the Nations

The attractions of Leipzig do not end there. In the city itself and its surroundings you can find many interesting palaces and castles, churches and cities. Saxony is an interesting country.

In your free time from the obligatory attractions:

In addition to visiting the recommended museums and sights listed, take a stroll through the arcades. There are 19 of them left, and I told you about three of them. Go around the old city along the boulevard: on the site of the fortress walls there is a beautiful park where you can spend time among the greenery and at the same time find monuments to outstanding people associated with the city. You already know where the monument to Goethe is, but where there is Goethe, you can find Schiller, go in search of him. And the old monument to Bach has not gone away, nor the Mendelssohn Bartholdy house, nor the first skyscraper. built in the twenties.
Or in general, come on, all these houses and shops, go to
