Here some impressions about Leipzig ...
We visited St. Thomas Church which dates back to the 12th Century. The composer Johann Sebastian Bach was the choir director at St. Thomas Church from 1723 until his death in 1750.
We were happy to hear the pipe organ during our visit to the church. A very atmospheric great impression.
The old town of Leipzig is very beautiful and leaves us -even in the heat of this weekend- in awe.
Auerbachs Keller (Auerbach's cellar), the place Johann Wolfgang Goethe visited often while studying in Leipzig 1765-1768 was his favorite wine bar. This bar is described in Goethe's play Faust I as the first place Mephistopheles takes Faust on their travels. It's located at the shopping arcade Mädlerpassage.
In another shopping arcade Speck's Hof we found this beautiful sound bowl, a copy of a bowl from the Ming-Dynasty. I you wet your hands and rub the sides slightly it does make a beautiful soft sound.
At the end of the day, relax and enjoy ...
