What to expect
New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus)

Goethe Memorial
As early as 1885, on the occasion of Bach's 200th birthday, a second memorial for the cathedral choirmaster was considered. However, it was not until 1894, after the reconstruction of St. John's Church , the rediscovery and overbuilding of Bach's grave and the identification of his skull by Carl Seffner in collaboration with the anatomist Wilhelm His (1831-1904), that the projects became more concrete.
St. Nicholas Church (Nikolaikirche)
Next you will be visit the St. Nicholas Church, which is one of the major churches of central Leipzig. It’s Construction started in Romanesque style in 1165, but in the 16th century, the church was turned into a Gothic hall church. Baroque elements like the tower were added in the 18th century.
