Leipzig - City of Music
The city of Leipzig is located in the heart of Germany
and is proud of its unique musical heritage. World famous artists
such as Bach, Mendelssohn and Schumann composed their classical
masterpieces there.
Welcome to the city of Goethe’s ‘Faust’ and
Bach’s ‘St. Matthew Passion’! Beside the city’s
poetic and musical reputation, Leipzig combines Saxon tradition
and high culture with high-tech business progression perfectly.
The air of ‘Leipzig Liberty’ pervades the city at
every turn.
Enjoy a stroll through the charming city centre with its enchanting
historical buildings. The beautifully compact old centre is
full of Renaissance and Baroque churches, street markets, one
of Europe’s oldest universities and a number of ultra-modern
buildings.
See where the Peaceful Revolution began in 1989, toppling the
East German regime. Leipzig is a real treat for the senses –
a place where music and culture truly thrive.
