Leipzig Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see zoo flamingo zoo flamingo angela maxwell Leipzig has always been one of Germany’s most important and dynamic cities. Its trade fairs have a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages and its cultural live was always influencing the rest of the country, especially since industrialization. During the communist years Leipzig was one of the leading cities concerning trade and cultural life as well. Here the famous “Monday demonstrations” started the peaceful revolution of 1989, which ended with the fall of the Berlin wall. Leipzig is a town with a rich history in music. Not only Johann Sebastian Bach lived there and is buried there, be it that it is uncertain if his body is really buried in the Thomaskirche, where it is said to be. He was re-buried several times, and during the war the church, where his remains then rested, was heavily bombed. Also Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and Robert Schumann (with his wife Clara Schumann) have lived there for a considerable time, and all three of these composers have a museum in Leipzig. The Gewandhaus is a world famous concert hall in Leipzig.Opposite it is the - also famous - opera house. Visit the very well supplied cd shop in the Gewandhaus. _______Sights Edit This Battle of Nations Monument Battle of Nations Monument Luke Moritz [Add Sight] Thomaskirche Edit This This is the senior of the two big civic churches, and the place where Johann Sebastian Bach served for the last 27 years of his life. Predominantly Gothic, the church has been altered down the centuries, notably by the addition of galleries in line with the Protestant emphasis on preaching. Its most remarkable feature remains the musical tradition: the “Thomanerchor”, which Bach once directed, can usually be heard on Fridays at 6pm., Saturdays at 3pm and during the Sunday service at 9.30am. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Battle of Nations Memorial) Edit This Battle of Nations Monument Battle of Nations Monument photo by: Luke Moritz Southeast of the city trams No. 15 and 20 led to the site of the Battle of Nations, where Napoleon was defeated by a combined army of Prussians, Austrians, Russians and Swedes in 1813. This defeat led to his exile on Elba island. A colossal monument was erected to commemorate the centenary of the victory. It can be ascended for a sweeping view over the city and the flat countyside. type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] openings: May – Oct: 10am – 5pm, Nov – Apr 9am – 4pm. Leipzig Zoo Edit This At 11.50 euro/person, it's not cheap, but with the animals living in large, natural environments, it's worth the money. There's a large, multilevel aquarium and sprawling Pongoland too. The zoo map lists feeding times so the visitors can get a good look at the tigers and other carnivores. A large Asia section features Asian elephants and some tasty stir fry if lunch is on the agenda. The bratwurst inside the zoo isn't bad either, and more affordable. type: Parks, Gardens and Zoos World66 rating: [rate it] accessibility: downtown Leipzig/by train, etc Waldstrassenviertel Edit This Like rarely any other city in Germany, Leipzig is the home of several very unique districts offering more than 10.000 listed buildings from the Wilhelminian era. As lokals call it “Waldstrassenviertel“ is just one of the biggest among them. A major example of this particular style from the late 19th century can be experienced in the Waldstrassenviertel district. type: Streets World66 rating: [rate it] address: Leipzig Altes Rathaus Edit This The Rathaus, built in the grandest German Renaissance style with elaborate gables, an asymmetrical tower and the longest inscription to be found on any building in the world, dominates the Market Place. The ground floor retains its traditional function as a covered walkway with shops; the upper storeys, long abandoned as the town hall, now house the local-history museum. The main reason for going in is to see the 53-metre-long “Festsaal” on the first floor. There you will find ornate chimneypieces and haughty portraits of the local mayors and Saxon dukes. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] openings: Tue 2-8pm, Wed – Sun 10am – 6pm Bach-Museum Edit This Directly across from the Thomanerkirche this museum houses an extensive show of mementoes of the great composer. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Nikolaikirche Edit This Although a sombre medieval structure from outside, the church’s interior is a real eye-grabber, its coffered vault supported by fluted columns whose capitals sprout like palm trees. The Nikolaikirche is one of the two main churches and a rallying point during the “Wende” in 1989. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Egyptian Museum Edit This Who would expect this? East of the Neues Rathaus you will find a surprisingly good Egyptian museum, containing finds from 19th century excavations by archeologists from Leipzig university. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] address: Schillergasse openings: Tue – Sat 1-5pm, Sun 10am – 1pm. ___________Practical Information Edit This Tourist office: is directly opposite the central station at Richard-Wagner-Str. 1 Openings: Mon – Fri 9am – 7pm, Sat 9am – 4pm, Sun 9am – 2pm Tel: +49 341 224 11 56 |
